Jeep Goodies

I know, it's just the beginning of October, but this is a good time to start keeping an eye out for good holiday sales on Jeep accessories. Racks, mats, bikini tops, winches, fog lights, bumpers and tires can all be found for cheap if you hit the right online stores.

Personally, I'm hoping Santa will bring the gift of life to my '78 Wagoneer. And a new windshield.

Jeep.com - The Official Jeep Site

You can probably tell from my previous posts that I'm more of an older Jeep guy -- I'm not so crazy about recent models, but they're still Jeeps and therefore I'm on board. If you haven't visited Jeep.com, the official Jeep website, then you should get over there and take a look at all the new Jeeps. The one pictured above is the 2011 Grand Cherokee.

GrandWagoneer.com

GrandWagoneer.com does full, frame-up restoration jobs on Jeep Grand Wagoneers. The man in charge, Norbert, obviously loves these Jeeps the way only a true Jeep fan can, and he puts that love into each and every vehicle he works on. Take a look at these photos, it's astonishing.

Now, as with Wagonmasters, I believe GrandWagoneer.com only works on vehicles they purchase, then they sell the completed Jeeps. Norbert and his crew specialize in 1991 Grand Wagoneers. They also offer lots of current features: touch-screen navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, iPod integration and lots more.

Check out their website for more drool-worthy photos and all the info.

1985 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 (parts car), Columbus, TX

Here's a 1985 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 for sale in Columbus, Texas. It's listed as a parts car -- the engine needs work but will start, and there's rust on the body. Seller says the tires are good. $400 ain't bad.

Wagonmasters

Wagonmasters is a website I like to stare at while drooling all over my keyboard. Just take a look at some of those sweet Jeep Grand Wagoneers they've restored and have for sale.

One note: Wagonmasters only restores their own vehicles for resale, but there are other companies that offer restoration services for Jeeps, and I'll be posting about them soon. My dream is to have my '78 Wagoneer restored to like-new and take it to the drive-in for a cheesy movie and some good ol' concession stand food.
