In early 1970 AMC acquired Kaiser Jeep Corporation and began refining and upgrading the range. American Motors improved manufacturing efficiency and lowered costs by incorporating shared components such as engines. Reducing noise, vibration and harshness improved the Wagoneer driving experience. Visually, a big change was made during the 1970 model year by replacing the metal grille with a new plastic grille having an egg crate pattern instead of vertical bars.
