So now that I've made some progress on my zj, I thought I'd show it off a little. I picked it up about 3 years ago for $600 from a co-worker and was barely able to limp it home. The radiator cracked and he drove it nearly 35 miles with no coolant. Cracked the head among other things. He also had issues with one of the pcm plugs and his fix was to tie it in place with shoe string, super glue it and silicone it. Guess what? It didn't fix it! Here's a list of what it took to bring her to life... New head, radiator, fan clutch, water pump, coil, distributor, plugs, wires, pcm and plug, muffler, cat, 02 sensors, tps, iac, exhaust manifold, full polyurethane bushing kit, front ball joints, front rotors, all new pads, oil & tranny fluid change, repaired coolant overflow and I'm sure a few other things I've forgotten. Just finished all my repairs and got her to pass smog about 3 months ago which is easy here in California (I'm sure the sarcasm can be picked up on). Last week I finally bought a 3.5" iro benchmark series lift and added the adjustable rear track bar, also got 2" wheel spacers and 31x10.5 Cooper STT's on the stock 15's. The first picture is the only one I have from pre-lift. I just trimmed the front bumper today as I had some very slight rub when turned just right. Soon to come (hopefully) is front and rear guards, winch, lockers, rocker guards and black rims. She's been a pain in the *** from the start, but I love her nonetheless.

PS. Will have some better pictures soon, the only decent wheeling I've done yet was at night and couldn't get any pictures.
