Re: JPOR: Grand Wagoneer parts

["Paul W." <a4xnut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Technically speaking, you spotted a Wagoneer, not a Grand... they didn't get
Grand added to the name until 84 when the XJ Wagoneer came out.  What you have
found is a 74-79 Wagoneer.  ALL SJ Wagoneers are narrow track - only the SJ
Cherokee came in wide track.  ALL 4dr SJ's are narrow tracks - only the 2dr SJ
Cherokee with flared fenders has the wide axles.
