1985 Wagoneer

Here is my 1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I inherited it from a good friend in
pretty bad shape.
The engine wouldn't fire up and the interior was trashed. I acutally got
two wagonners and '84 as well. So i was able to use parts from the even
worse wagoneer to make this one work.
I took it to a mechanic and he changed out the fluids and rebuilt the
carb. It runs pretty good now.
Most of the windows did not work... of course they were all automatic! So
with the help of my two brother's-in-law I was able to take motors from the
parts wagoneer, fix them up, and install them in the wagoneer. Now they
all work and all but the front driver's triangle window are in original working
order. The triangle window will be replaced with one from the parts car
when i get back up there to work in the car.
It does not however go into 4 wheel drive either. The selectrac vacuum
system in this car is givng me fits. I have joined a forum which has given me
some really great ideas on how to fix it. The problem could be the vac
lines or the shift motor engaging the front axle. I now bought a manual
for the jeep and next time i get to the car i hope to have it in 4 wheel
drive! Thanks to everyone at http://www.ifsja.org
for all your help.
