1966 Jeep Wagoneer review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Floor pan rusted out and so are all the ones in the junkyards. Front U-joint for rear driveshaft loose which let shaft vibrate. Engine leaks a bit of water from one of rear freeze plugs. Ugly due to neglect.
General comments?
Floor pan replacement will be easy, finding floor pan has not. Very good for off road driving after 2inch body lift, 4 inches of suspension lift and 31x10.5 tires. Engine very strong until around 45mph due to bad stock exhaust. Overall, they should make them like this again. Hasn't moved in 10 years and after 2 days effort runs like new with just fixing the ignition, new battery, and tires.
