Two recent movies with Grand Wagoneers are Chill Factor with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bring It On. Both are frequent late-night cable movies. In Chill Factor, the Wagoneer is towing the boat that the heros use to escape the bad guys, and in Bring It On, the cheerleaders drive to the game in a Wagoneer. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 09:58:53 -0800 (PST) From: Carnuck-at-webtv.net (James Blair) Subject: Re: fsj: rust A: I've done some demo derby cars with a roller and Tremclad paint. People wondered why I was going to smash up a car that looked so nice! (they should have seen the bondo underneath before!) From: David Charles Gedraitis Maybe I should come down there-I'm sure if no one really knows how to do it, it must cost a fortune. I can open a shop. If only I could paint... Incidentally, I can't afford a compressor, nor would I have a place for one anyway. Does anyone know any good ways to making paint lay right using a brush? Can I paint it on and wet sand it glossy? Time and effort are not an issue, but money and proper tools are, so if anyone has any knowledge of this, I'd love to hear about it.

Pacey has a GWag; might technically be his dad's. It's in several episodes, I think in the first season or two and then prominently in one or two episodes I think last season (right after Mitch died). They use other Jeeps, esp. Wranglers, quite a bit on that and other WB shows, too. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I finally stopped asking "What Would Jesus Do?" when I realized the answers were coming in first-century Aramaic.

I bought the gears I wanted from Jim, but now I'm being quoted $600-$900 for the labor switching them. One guy was talking about bearing kits as well. What's involved here? Is this something I can do with good tools, a level head and a spare vehicle to drive in the interim? I thought I had read something about "shims" in a differential, and one of the places said something about the axle spacing. I know nothing about this stuff, but I don't have $600 to get this done. Has anyone had any experience here? Thanks in advance!

I tried to collect a few of the clips (QuickTime) a couple years ago, but that project lost momentum. (And I think trying to maintain a more comprehensive collection would drive me batty. Well, more batty.) I did see a commercial about a year or so ago that had a FSJ all the way through for a family trip; it might've been the Pennsylvania ad somebody mentioned a couple days ago. They tend to resurrect ads like those now and then, though I think the ad itself is still fairly recent (i.e., was made well after the FSJs were discontinued). - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...do it now.
