i figured out i am going to replace transmission and transfer case on the zj, im selling a badass 03 ltz 400 quad to buy lift parts and what not for it and to finish my 96 lift. i got the header panel installed on the 96, got my winch rewired and working on the 99, and scared the hel out of the neiborhood ripping around in a totally illegal zj trying to determine exactly what was wrong with it... it was a good day!
I'm in OKC. I am sending off the HP30 that I got from OKC to get blasted next week. I'll replace the ball joints after that. Pull my LP30 axle shafts and replace the u-joints with 760's. I could pull the front drive shaft now and have the rear done but I was kinda hoping to convert the rear into discs. Might have to do that later down the road. I am installing 4.56 gears and full rebuild kits. Installing gears isn't something I have done nor really want to risk it. Maybe I am being a lil girl about it.

OK GUYS I am officially looking for an automatic transfer for the v8 grand Cherokee. Wanting a good deal, I have located the NP 242 I'm going to buy. I am replacing transfer too. Who has one? I'd rather put money in forum members hands if possible. Heap maybe ur salvage yard buddy can hook me up? Just let me know. I'm buying a lift kit too.
I got lucky, listed one of my quads and in 4 hours had cash in hand. Its all going in the 96 and the Zj. So transmission, transfer, lift kit, flowmaster, maybe some other parts....

I got a transmission and a 249 good condition today for 275$. I'm not going to use the 249, but it was a package deal. I'm about to bolt it on just to test if the transmission is really bad
well official verdict: its getting a trasnmission too. i have it, so now its just stab it and do the transfer case swap while i'm at it. it was worth a shot.
at least i got lucky on the trans and an extra 249 free basicaly

Hi everyone. Of course i'm newly registered. I own a 97 ZJ that i'm slowly working on. I've found a custom front bumper on ebay for 150 but thought I would check here to see if anyone close had one for a decent price. Also this seemed like a good chance to make some wheelin friends. Thanks Guys
