Default 97 ZJ DD

So I picked up a new ride... a 1997 ZJ. It's got the 5.2, auto with a swapped 249 to 231, leather, power everything....fully loaded. The kid I got it from did the swap and had a Tom Woods drive shaft put in, drilled and slotted rotors fr/rr and ceramic pads, new paint, new tires, tinted windows, full stereo system, and some other little things. I ended up blowing out one front tire so I just got some good used 32's on wheels for $100. Then I put on a 2/3" lift for now, and today I just ordered a 4" Rough Country lift kit. I have built a roof rack system for it and will also build fr/rr bumpers, rocker sliders, and tube corner guards. So I'll post some pics in just a little bit when I can get my computer to work.

It looks to be in great shape. That paint job is definitely something you don't see every day.

So I bought a few things for my rig. Got some window flares, bug guard, and a Rough Country 4" lift kit.
