Looks to be an S model that someone ordered sunroofs on... Those wheels were the standard for the S model in 03/04. Note also the full black front bumper caps that match the plastic center section. The seats will be vinyl, no wood interior trim. etc.

Why don't I ever find things like this! It's not for not looking!

Oh, and take the American Flag in your garage and put it on the outside

Nice Wagoneer also. Good taste.

Sorry for the double post; my response didn’t show up for a day so I posted again. Moderator took the weekend off I guess!

Got her to turn over but wouldn’t fire off. Diagnosed it as the crankshaft sensor. Replaced that tonight and she started right up! Quite a bit of smoke, but to be expected I assume since I fogged the cylinders.

Yes it’s an S with sunroofs, which I thought was pretty unusual.

New tires to replace the dry rotted ones are next. Also tearing out the headliner for replacement and access to the sunroofs for repair.

Don’t worry, that flag with the Waggy in the garage is one of several. There’s always one flying in the front yard!

Thanks again to all for your help!

Since the headliner will be out anyway, put some radiant barrier on top of the headliner board.
White roofs obviously don't get as hot as other colors, but the radiant barrier will still lower the interior temperature several degrees on hot days, and holds in heat well on cold days. It also helps with sound deadening.
The home interior bubble wrap style works good, and is much cheaper than auromotive products.

Thanks for the tip sixpack577. Can you give me more info on what you’re referring to with the bubble wrap insulation? Not sure I know what home-use product you’re talking about.

Several kinds work, just common attic, wall, or hvac insulation ,and it's all easy to work with.
I've used this kind in several vehicles.
On the floor helps with sound deadening, and a little for heat.
But works really well above the headliner, as it isn't directly against the inner roof, there is more air space between metal and radiant barrier.
When you put it above the headliner, lay the roll on top of it, trim the edges and sunroofs and openings out, and use any type of silicone or liquid nails to attach it to the top of the headliner board. You only need a few small dots of adhesive here and there, just enough to hold it in place while you put the headliner back up.


Sorry, I have no pictures of the last headliner I put it above, but this is a good shot of what it looks like.
Hvac metal tape is good for securing it to floors just to secure until carpet and trim are down.

Looks like a great idea; thanks for the additional info. Since you obviously have done this before, any recommendation on where to purchase the headliner material? I understand it needs to be a little wider than standard headliner fabric.
