Wood Panel Wrap

[Cherokee/Gladiator]

My dream car is a 91' Final Edition Grand Wagoneer. I've always loved the wood panel and I been looking a doing a partial wrap on ours to simulate the woody look. Curious if anyone else has looked into it at all.

Those mockups are all Wagoneer's but I think it would look as good on the Cherokees with the squared off front end. Wanted one of the new Wagoneer's but that price tags a bit too steep for me.

I got a quote yesterday to do the two sides only for $2k seemed a little higher than I expected.

Its an idea, what color would the body be? In contrast to the wooden panels.

Got another quote for $900 which is more like what I expected. They were booked up till November But I think I'm going to go for it.

I get the idea but I don't know about it. On a GC?

In the 80's they had the Wagoneer Limited which was just a regular Cherokee with wood paneling and a different front end. I want something to stand out in the parking lot from everything else.

There was also a very short lived Grand Wagoneer on the ZJ platform in the 90s too.

I honestly didn't know. That's pretty cool.

I did a real quick test sketch to see what it might look like!

Went and picked out the materials today at the wrap shop. They are actually doing it with the same stuff jeep used on the Wagoneers originally. Hopefully should have it done sometime in January.

Awesome! I look forward to seeing it.

If I go the wagoneer direction I’d go for black, then do a wood wrap just like you posted but in a grey wood that matches the interior trim.. I think I’d be awesome.

That was the route I wanted to go initially until we found we could get the same material as the originals. They had a sample though that was really close to the interior wood. My appt is January 11-12, to go with the actual textured wood grain ended up being more that just the printed wrap. Total cost now is $1,450.

Oh man, I am so excited to see how it looks!
