Unless this is an '84 Grand Wagoneer with the woodgrain removed & the tailgate trim swapped for an earlier one (note the Cherokee logo on the chromed center piece), it's probably an 81 or earlier Wagoneer. I had an 82 or 83 about 20 years ago, and I don't think it had that Cherokee bit either.
I'm trying to nail this one down based on the tails lights... From everything I've seen all '83 and under years had wrap around lamps, '84 and up were narrow next to the gate as on this example.
1973 may have been the last year of the wrap-around style ONLY (at least on the proto-SUV - not sure if the pickup ever had anything but the skinny ones): https://secure.flickr.com/photos/37573576@N06/5581413812/
In 1974, both styles were present: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/lee-ekstrom/5415849467/

ReplyDeleteaaaaaand it's definitely not a Grand with those manually locking hubs, he noted belatedly.

ReplyDeleteThis might actually be a less common 4-door SJ Cherokee?
