Nice thing about these old crap boxes... It was always simple cosmetics when the exterior changed. You can mix and match anyway you want. Like square headlights with a rhino grille. I like it. I don't remember there being a cargo cover before the Grand Wagoneer. Maybe the Wagoneer Limited had them. $300 on one huh? I am out of touch. Sold a nice caramel one 10 years ago for $40. I still have the original cover for my 88. It has been stored in the basement a good 13 years. You think that would increase the value three times the cargo cover cost? If that is true, I would have a $2400 Jeep! :lol:

Yea ive seen the 91 cargo covers sell for $400+ the grey ones, 91's had a grey interior. But yea check ebay they sell for a ton, mine sold for $300 in 2 days.

The fan shroud i found on the 81 cherokee in mint condition, they sell for $250-300 on ebay. I already have 3 watchers and 50 views in a day. The drip rails i know sell for 200$ or so, the spoiler on the 81 cherokee in my pic.. I sold last night for $200.

Basically i spent $40 on this Jeep, and with the parts i got i have $1200 in parts on ebay. The center arm rest was mint and ive sold em for $100 easy, the cargo carpet was mint and they sell for $100. I got the regulator and motor for the rear window i sell them all the time for $170-200, i just sold this one for $140 locally guys picking it up thursday.

Found an 88 like 2-3 weeks ago and i got about $800 in parts on that one. My ebay seller dashboard. Since April 1 2017 to today 2018, ive sold 6,084$ in wagoneer and ZJ grand Cherokee parts :-bd

Wait. I am pretty darn sure grey was not an interior color for any FSJ GWs. If there is one out there, it would be a sight to see. The 93 GW had option for gray but that is a ZJ.

I have the gray (dull chrome) muscle grille on my J20 and I think it looks good. Realize that they are plastic and break pretty easily.

I like the muscle grille. But I am biased. I like that I can see the radiator. If I can, so can the air flow. :fsj:

Passenger side fender is the only pic i took which is on the first page. of my post. It has surface rust on the flair but the lower section is rotted out if you look close. The drivers side is good though.. The flairs on the rear are steel passenger side rear is bent the drivers side is good.

But i dont have a battery cut off wheel so i wouldnt know how to remove the panels without it ? Unless you can walk me through it
