Waggy Working Again !
Got my Grand Wagoneer working again ! As I wasn't up in Edinburgh as often
as I wanted the last couple of years, I didn't tax it or MOT it ( MOT is the annual inspection test covering emissions and roadworthiness). Anyhow, having done some work on the rather dodgy original wiring, and the rather dodgy amendments to the original wiring, I'm driving it about again. http://www.milne.info/~dave/IMG_0331_small.JPG (yes, I forgot to put the hub covers on). I'm missing the original cruise control parts (doubtless hard to get here), the air con doesn't work particularly (not really a problem here and presumably it contains R12 which is banned ??) and it likes to bleed a little on the road now and then, but it does drive nicely. If you have a FSJ in the UK, get in contact ( jeep at milne dot info ). Dave Milne, Scotland |

Wow, that is a nice old tank!
Can the old AC compressor on those be converted to onboard air?

Looks to be in good condition for an old Wagoneer. Why not convert the AC compressor to an air compressor? That would probably be of more use. :) -- DougW |

Re: Waggy Working Again !
How did it escape the rust, that is the bane of practically every Wagoneer I
have ever seen, even in sunny, relatively dry Colorado? The AC is fairly easily converted to more modern refrigerant. All you need is a pack of O-rings, compatible oil, evacuate and charge.
