Thanks guys I appreciate the love. I guess I might as well make this a sort of build thread for the ol' Wag. This past weekend I finally got some time to dive into the interior of the beast. I headed to AutoZone to try and find some interior dye hat was close to original as I could find. Duplicolor makes a color called Desert Sand that was a little off but I think it looks even better. I cleaned and dyed every panel to match (including seats, fingers crossed it holds up) and it turned out great! I took the dumb trailer brake off the dash and found a cool old dash compass to fill the hole it left.
My buddy that sold me the Wagoneer has a boneyard full of Jeeps and International Scouts of all kinds and Saturday I dug through his junk and pulled a razor grill off a wrecked Cherokee Chief. He also had a decent early grill emblem off an early gladiator. After some beating, bending, and shaping it came out pretty good, just need some parking lights now.
I used a degreaser called Greased-Lightning and a steam cleaner to clean the front carpet and got just about every grease/oil stain out of the carpet. The duo works excellent and the cargo bay is next.
