That is a beautiful Wagoneer. There is one in decent shape at the junkyard near me. I got the headrest from it. Such an improvement over my 1990 Cherokee Laredo.

Might the one by you be available to pick parts from?

Depends on what parts you want. I can take some pics next time I go there. Might be going tomorrow for some stuff. Just keep in mind it's in Upstate NY so rust is a big killer up here.

Photos in page 2 of this thread...

In order of importance:

1) Driver's side door upper-trim - No dings so that just a polishing would do!
2) One trim end-cap
3) Additional end-caps as spare - But not necessary
4) One or two front door bottom-trim - Optional

I have a source for the windshield-trim... Although I haven't received it as yet... So I don't know it's condition. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!!!

Should be easy enough. They should pop off with a putty knife, right?

Should. There will be a set of clips... One in the trim and the other in the set-hole. Start a bit in from the end and move across and repeat to loosen. If you break the clips... Not a problem. Thanks!

No luck at the junkyard. The trim pieces I found where faded and moldy. Even looked at the crush pile but same problem. Good luck with your search and let me know if you need other things.

If/when you take your front doors off, It would be awesome if you could post pics and measurements of the locations of the upper and lower hinges. My door took a hit by a kayak and they now sag... I just can't tell their original position to re-weld them. Thanks!

I found it behind the driver's door upholstered panel. I now can confirm the inside trim color is Tan. At first... The exterior color-code did not cross-reference on a few of the paint-sites. Finally I heard back from one of them... The exterior color is Charcoal Gray Metallic.

Damn mines long gone then. I've had every door panel out of my jeep and never found a build sheet. But that's cool and keep up the good work on the waggy. I'll be watching
