That latest episode of Dirt Every Day has hit the inter webs and that means fun with Fred Williams and his monthly adventures in the land of trucks. This time we’re in Washington State and the premise is pretty simple. Fred got alerted to a clean, cool, and just plain awesome 1972 Jeep Wagoneer that has 80,000 original miles on it and had been sitting for more than a decade in the same barn/garage. He decided he had to have it and in order to have it he decided that he needed to get some friends together and not only revive the Jeep but also take it on a scenic road trip to some of the best stuff that Washington State has to offer.

We like this episode because it is pretty laid back and fun. It is not too hardcore and it has the major element of storyline that we like which is “find old car/truck and then drive old car/truck”. It is the most fun gearhead experience you can have, trust us we’ve done it. There is no massive drama here but there are some really funny lines some goofing off and some questionable decision making that leads to an “unforeseen” delay in the trip.

When you look at the 1972 Wagoneer and see how simple, rugged, tough, and intact it is and then look at today’s crop of SUVs you’ll notice that while many things have changed many things have not. Yes, the transmissions have more gear ratios, the passengers have more doodads to touch and press and have break off in their hands, the fuel mileage may be better, but at the end of the day the same things are true. The basic shape is identical and the ability for these vehicles to eat up miles, take you to cool places, and allow you to do it in comfort is still intact.

Great video here, you’ll dig it!
