I'm pretty new to cherokee forum but i decided i wanted to make a build thread. I'm going to school for welding so I hope to make my own stuff later on for the jeep

1993 Jeep ZJ
-5.2 L
-4.5" IRO critical path lift
-33" KM2's

heres some info of what i've done so far

This is how i bought it. picked it up for $1000


quick home rattle can job so its not AS embarrassing


Lift on. just waiting on tires..


new 3 row radiator


then i trimmed the front fenders


about 2 months after i was supposed to get my tires, the right size finally came in. 33x10.5x15 on stock wheels with wheel spacers

i replaced my ghetto home brew quick discos with some from RC





then my cv axle finally broke on the trail and i didnt have a spare with me

Rozco

not bad for stock front control arms



replacing the axle

maybe we over did the cheater pole method..

Rozco

i was rubbing on the rear bumper when stuffed so i had to trim



i needed some longer bump stops


and i wanted better ride quality so i got some bilsteins



and front long arms

cb install







i went to cleghorn and hit a rock and my drag link end popped out and my tie rod got bent. which made me not able to turn left. because the drag link is all shot, when we tried to tighten it, it would just spin. and the bent tie rod was hitting some of the other mounts on the axle

we put a jack under the drag link end to give it pressure and we were able to tighten it back up.



and then we bent back the tie rod with a fat cheater pole mike had





it was a fun day

Sliders are in. The first side was a pain in the butt but the second side went in really easy. They are bolt on but I want to weld them on to make them even stronger






I'm also working on swapping my np249 out for a 242. I'm almost done with that. My buddy mike was a big help. Here's a teaser pic. He volunteered to be the bench presser haha
