This 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer was purchased by the seller and brought from Arizona to California three years ago after receiving a repaint in its original color. Subsequent work included installation of a new 6.2-liter General Motors LS3 V8 and a 6L80E automatic transmission as well as rebuilt Dana 44 axles with 4.10:1 Nitro gears and Detroit Truetrac differentials. Further additions consist of new faux wood graphics and rubber trim, a 2.5” lift, rear disc brakes, a custom 24-gallon fuel tank, new upholstery, and more. The truck has been driven 6,800 miles since the build was completed and is offered in San Clemente, California with build photos and receipts, recent records, a clean Carfax, and a Montana title in the seller’s company name.

In addition to the aforementioned paint, suspension, and exterior improvements, this FSJ was equipped with a new windshield, front grille, hood ornament, NOS light lenses, Hella HID headlamps, and LED lighting throughout. The stock aluminum bumpers had factory holes welded flush and were rechromed along with the rear license plate cover, which now houses a backup camera.

The truck has been lifted 2.5” over refinished factory 15″ wheels mounted with 33″x10.50″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. Braking is from a GM Hydro-boost setup actuating discs at all four corners. The seller also fitted a new Class 3 rear receiver hitch.

The cabin features new leather upholstery with factory-style corduroy inserts plus a new headliner, carpeting, dashboard, and Coco floor mats. The door panels and chrome trim were refinished, and the front and rear seats were moved up 1″ and 2″ respectively for improved adjustability. A custom center console features a leather armrest, power outlets, and two USB ports. The electrical system was reportedly rewired and a remote central locking system was installed, which also allows for remote operation of the rear window. The seller notes that the power windows operate slowly.

The audio system was upgraded with new dash tweeters, hidden audio controls on the back of the steering wheel, an Alpine 5-channel amplifier, Pioneer 5.25” front speakers, coaxial rear speakers, and a Kicker subwoofer on a potentiometer. A Pioneer head unit or Android tablet-style stereo will be provided for the next owner depending on preference. The truck is equipped with cruise control and factory A/C using new parts and a high-pressure activated SPAL auxiliary fan. The 6-digit odometer reportedly showed 149k miles when it was reset during the build, and now indicates 6,800 miles.

The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 is tuned for daily driving according to the seller, and features a sport mode activated by shifting into the “S” position. It also features a new 241C transfer case with a mechanical speedometer tail shaft and custom linkage paired to the stock shifter. Notable mechanical components are listed below:

Holley intake

Novak mounts and radiator

SPAL fans and PWM fan control using Corvette relay

Programmed with HP tuners and stock GM ECU

New CV driveshafts front and rear

Custom 24-gallon fuel tank with in-tank pump, Corvette regulator and filter combo, and AN fittings

Power is sent to all four wheels through a 6L80E automatic transmission and rebuilt Dana 44 axles with 4.10:1 Nitro gears and Detroit Truetrac differentials. New body mounts and bolts were installed during the refurbishment. An engine oil change was completed at around 3,000 indicated miles. Additional undercarriage shots and in-process build photos are displayed in the gallery below.

The accident-free Carfax shows Arizona ownership from 2003 until the seller’s purchase in 2106. The original odometer showed 149,133 miles in June 2016 prior to being reset during the build.
