this may seem a silly question, whats the metal bar on the tailgate for?

Sure is a pretty Jeep, great find

I beleive thats the receiver bracket for a spare tire gate. It would have hinges on the pass side rear fender.

Was for a spare tire mount.

Prepped Friday for another Road trip by replacing the temp gauge sending unit and fan clutch.



Paid around $6 for the sending unit and around $42 for the fan clutch. I'm super stoked at how easy and affordable the Jeep has been to work on!

Left early Saturday morning to bring my girlfriends, daughters Australian Shepard to their family farm outside of Zebulon, Georgia. Drove over 666 miles without any trouble.



Sounds like some intergalactic planet but Zebulon is actually named after brigadier general Zebulon Pike of the US Army.

Anyone whose travelled the back roads of Georgia knows how picturesque the little main street towns are. I've been watching the Walkng Dead for the past few seasons and really enjoyed the locations they chose to film the TV series. I had a hunch it might be close to my girlfriends family farm but had no idea it was withing 10-15 miles of them. It wasn't until Friday night that I discovered a website detailing many of the locations used.

Came across this feed depot in Haralson by accident on the way back to Zebulon. They filmed the scene where Rick meets the Governor here.

Just some old overgrown gas station near Haralson, Georgia. Rural Georgia is full of abandoned buildings, gas stations, motels and farm houses.

Wow. That one is nice. I'm partial to this eara of Wagoneers because my own is a 1972.

Mine was bought in California as well. I have the Owner Warranty Supplement paperwork as well. No window sticker, unfortunately, but I have just about everything else. I was looking to see if yours was bought at the same dealer.

Mine was bought from "Economy Motors Inc." in Bishop, California on May 5, 1972.

The white rims peeking out from behind the wheel covers really set these Wagoneers off. It's like a whitewall.

Take a buffer and some compound to that paint and wax over it a few times. It'll shine up really nice, I can tell. The acrylic enamel Jeep used on these is seriously tough stuff. 40 years old and a little compound is all it takes to put a shine like new on it.
