I recently hit the JY looking for a couple small odds and ends, ended up pulling this find! It's a header panel and grill from an '86 wagoneer! It was in great shap, and already have it sold.
Nothing huge! Gearing up for my biggest trip yet. Built a fold out bed! I'll post more details once it's finished! Also went out and explored a new to me area!
Anyway, recently installed a Goliath offroad t-case skid to replace the factory one (yeaaaahhh that did its job). Hopefully this one holds up well! I'm really disappointed with how the crossmember mount for it attaches to the skimpy lip coming off. It survived a few kickings and me hanging off it, so time will tell! We went camping out by box butte Nebraska to watch the eclipse as well! Had a nice little spot on the beach. Slept on my fold out sleeping platform in the back!
Well, the laundry list of things is done! Just need to organize and clean! All the fluids have been changed, oil, coolant, both diffs, t-case, and transmission! New boots on the steering components, snorkel is hooked up, and the tire carrier is on. Next up is a 2,000 mile road trip!
Man, the past month was absolutely amazing! I have to say, I am extremely lucky for the places I have been able to see. Took my first large scale "overland" trip. Throughout the next few days Ill bring you up to date on where all we went! I leave you with a few shots and a list of everywhere we went!

Awesome build and great looking photos! You have come a long ways from when you first purchased it. I have to ask do you miss your Ford Ranger or you pretty much forgot about it?
