Here we go again! A 1986 Eagle.


Recommended Posts

Well. Wife liked driving @89 MJ’s Eagle enough to wake up one morning and say “if you want an Eagle we can go get this one down in Tempe.” I thought I was dreaming or hearing things while being still groggy from waking up. But she was serious. So here we are with an Eagle. This is to be my daily daily. Retire both Jeeps and let them be fun vehicles. I’ll do pics and specs later. But for now. I wanted to start the thread.

Very nice Eagle.

 

How are those mudflaps attached? I haven't seen pics of factory mudflap mounting before.

 

Also that trailer ball setup is interesting. I don't think I have seen a set up like that before.

 

That rear window wiper is a nice option to bad the arm is missing.


Thanks!

 

i can get pictures for ya on the flaps. 
 

It looks factory. @89 MJ might know better. 
 

Yeah I noticed that….I get to join the hunt for a wiper arm that works.

I will get pictures of my hitch shortly for comparison. 
 

I wish you luck on the wiper arm hunt! You saw how well my hunt is going for that haha

Pics of the hitch on my car for comparison. Looks similar, other than the plate on mine.

Also, I’m a little jealous of the shiny paint.

Honestly this is the nicest survivor I have. Now chunk is by far the most luxurious vehicle I own and that’s how I like it.

Decided to address the nameplate issue.

 

My goal is to not really touch this car until I get both Jeeps assessed like Chunk and the leaf spring bushings and shackle. Little Red and the track bar.

But I have a list going of what needs to be fixed on this car. Im wondering what I got myself into haha.
