Hopefully everyone was ok.

It's a shame to see a truck like that receive that fate. If you're looking to replace it, my parents' neighbor has one in near pristine shape that he was selling. Let me know if you're keen on it and I'll poke around to get some details.

We were, thanks for asking. Yes, if you don't mind poking around that'd be appreciated.

So sad... I love the FS Jeeps. The Wagoneer was the first 4x4 to use an automatic transmission and shift on the fly. I had an 82 Cherokee Chief Wide Track and loved.

You know... Unless the frame is shot, you might be able to turn that into a fun trail truck. Flip it over, cut the top off, install a full profile roll cage, bikini top, and have someone fab up a new windshield and you'd be good to go! When life gives you lemons...

Food for thought!

Unfortunately Waggy was marked parts only after insurance settlement.

@richmondbob That's too bad. Though you could register it as an OHV! Did you already dispose of it?

Nope. Covered in my yard with a dehumidifier running 24/7. Saving it for parts when I'm ready to build another.

Highway flip and rollover thanks to rogue crosswind hitting the 70's era travel trailer we were towing.
