So i happened to be on craigslist this past week and came across my dream jeep.
A 94 Zj with 7.5 IRO long arm lift, 35's, and clean as a whistle.
guy wanted 3000. so i scrolled through the add. and it said it "or trade for a 2 door cherokee" my heart stopped. i immediately called the guy. Went and looked at it two days later and it was mine.
So i started out with my 2 door which looked like this when i bought it
which i hated so i got i bought this to swap the lift and tires over then sold the rest of it for 400 bucks and made 50 bucks to lift my jeep

so my two door looked like this

i did some more things to it like d windows and new 31's but i dont have pictures of.. but i traded that straight across for this.....

it has 206000 miles but runs way better than my 2 door did.
231 t case swap
still had 3.73 gears which actually isn't very bad.
only issues were rear main seal and oil pan gasket which i did the day of trade.
but today my power windows stopped working... the relay in the fuse box is getting really hot, i burnt my finger removing it. replaced it and they still didnt work. no wires that i can find for the windows are broken or crimped. even in the drivers door.. any ideas guys?

also got the windows figured out, the ground wire wasnt broken all the way through but the insulation had rubbed off causing a short when it hit metal, cut it out soldered in a new wire wrapped it in electrical tape and good to go!
also checked the balance on my tires at school today... guy said they had been balanced.
they were 3 oz out of balance on all but one tire...
