88mjsally Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I found this in a junkyard the other day and thought it was pretty cool. It was an 84 Wagoneer limited with 137k original miles. The yard also had a few other cool xjs including one with a black interior but sadly no comanches. I’m going back this week to snag the mint black buckets as well as a few other parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Did it have any 'Jeep' badging on the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the bottom corner of the last picture on top of the radio. The waggy didn’t have the “Jeep” piece above the license plate like the later ones did but I have one from another waggy on my wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Neat. My 84 is missing what is a uncommon version of the Jeep nameplate for the rear. But a good score for sure with a 21 slot still intact and not taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a NOS one on ebay but just needed a verification of what it looked like was all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had taken a picture of the back but I forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The AMC made XJs are my favorites, to be honest. For my 89 build, I'm gonna be implementing a lot of stuff from those even if it's not quite appropriate for the year. Good find on the seats too. That particular style of fabric is REALLY durable. Like a burlap sack. Good choice for a work truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a burlap sack. Good choice for a work truck. I really like the amc xjs too, they have a lot more interesting parts and variation between them. These seats are the nicest xj seats I’ve seen in a long time and they just happen to be black. I think I might stick them in my truck because I kind of miss my full console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500 MJ Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Here are some pics of an ‘84 2 door that I recently discovered close to me. I took these pics before I started pulling parts. I did get the Jeep nameplate from the back of this one and @Minuit now has the radio from it. It had a swing out tire carrier on it at one point that was gone before I got there. I’ve only ever seen a handful of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen 86s and one other 85 but no other 84s. It was pretty cool to see for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I would totally swap out my XJ's interior for the Wagoneer limited interior. And I'm not gonna care if my girl hates the porno red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a guy that has been married for a long time. This statement is wrong. Accept that its wrong. Start believing that its wrong. Then ask her what a good color interior is. That is the color of your next interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet - porno red/slate blue mashup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it’s a limited interior but I’d be better trying to find a limited tan interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
