Right? lol
Really? Never thought of that. How much storage space do you get though?
NICE! Details man, details!

I don't know, i've never hit a limit. What does happen, is you only see the last ~300 pictures you've uploaded. you can upload more, but you don't see the older ones. they still show up in places where you've posted them though, so they don't get deleted.

He's asking $4500...KBB says it's only worth like $3k...IDK if I believe KBB...Lols. I have to get rid of the rusty ZJ but I'm still swapping parts. Problem is I like the XJ in terms of visibility but the ZJs in every other way. I also won't be able to decide which to build up.

Fixed the under hood light. Going to wire in a switch and some LEDs eventually.

Also found the power plug for the power seat swap. Just need to find a way to adapt it to the ZJ power seat plug and find it in the PDC.

Pretty much everywhere. Windows are shorter but you get a tad more cargo room. And a 6'4" guy like me isn't brushing his head on the ceiling.

Gotcha. Yeah, I do miss the plethora of cargo space in the WJ. Haven't seen the ZJ, so I don't know how to compare it, but I think if anything ever happened to my XJ, it might wind up being a ZJ or WJ that would replace it.

Test fit 31's and went for a drive. They fit pretty much 100% in front. They'll flex well in the rear. Just can't hit straight on bumps... will need to do something about the rear flares to DD them.

Hits the control arm just barely.

Fixed the aux e fan. Stupid Mopar connector. And did spark plugs looks like they were done recently.
Edit for Pics:
Worst one:

Stupid connector. Ended up just taking the mopar one out and soldering the factory wires to the the little pigtail they had. Works great now

So great in fact that with this much blocked off it only ran for maybe a minute every 5 minutes sitting idling. (60F and humid)

I think if they were brand new the tread would just barely hit the swaybar itself. They rubbed worse on the ZJ...although it had a 2" puck lift and the steering endstops might not be adjusted the same as the XJ. The XJ has inches of spare room at full lock with the 235's.

Yeah, they might. Not really so bad once you get aftermarket LCAs... it's just that stamped part that your tires catch on until the wheels are spaced out more.

Been looking t the WJ arm swap threads but with an IRO long arm in my sights it's probably not worth it. Rear fender flares are where the real issue is anyways. Thinking about removing them. I'm going to eventually but I think it looks much nicer in the meantime.
