Wow.. impressed.
Well I went to see it today but didn't get far. Dude put a new serpentine and a few blocks into the drive, the belt shifted and the fan caught it. Needed some front end work too, and he was asking too much so I gotta keep looking.
Glad to read your rig is back on the road.

Nice looking ZJ! I'm about to buy the wife one for 300 bucks! Well as long as it all looks good when I go to check it out. Maybe I'll be able to outfit hers rig too so we both can go wheeling. Course I probably should focus on one vehicle at a time!

Getting the jeep back tomorrow for Pro Built!!! Turns out the stock in radiator trans cooler was a bit backed up preventing proper cooling which destroyed the 3rd trans lol this is not a cheap game to play!!! 35s should go on friday!!

I did some test fitting today and I would have been golden if I had adj control arms to push out the front axle a bit so I might do some research and look for a quick solution and throw the 35s on there for good!

These and their uppers can be made to any length for ~ 180 plus ship. I considered it a deal.
