Ok, guys, I'm gonna try this again since my previous build got destroy (someone t-boned me). This time with a 97 ZJ Limited. I know nothing about the ZJ platform so I'll be learning as I go but current plans are for a 2inch budget boost and 31s. I already ordered the 31s and I'm gonna try and fit them stock until I get the funds to lift it. Obviously, I need to address the rockers on both sides, the paint, and the front bumper. I already removed the awful stickers and bypassed the alarm system cause I don't have the key fob. Anyone have ideas for a cheap bumper? Thanks for all your help that I'm sure I'll need I'll keep everyone posted with updates!
Ok, Guys, I haven't been posting as I wanted but my tires came in and they're mounted and installed on my old XJ wheels. I also bedlined the wheels with that Rustoleum spray bedliner stuff. I also did a real hack job on my fenders but hey its already rusted and only cost $500 so I couldn't care less.
After those new tires were installed they rubbed pretty bad in the front so instead of going and getting some new wheels I copped some spacers for hella cheap. Yes, I installed them correctly and torqued them up to spec so I shouldn't have any problems besides some busted up ball joints. They also make the jeep look more aggressive like I like so that's a plus too. Next up I'm trying to get a cheap welder and some 2x6 for those awful rockers. Then its a lift kit and bedlining the entire Jeep.
Here's what I did for front bumper picked up a 2"x6"x6' piece of steal tubing and some 90degre gavinized brackets from local hardware store cost me about 70.00 bucks
Jeep looks good so far! Us ZJs on the site seem to be far and few in between. Cant help but notice what I think are limb-riser mounts on the hood, if that's what they are how did you do them? Been wanting to add some to mine for a while.

They're hood pins right now but I've been thinking about turning them into limb risers. It shouldn't be too hard just need to find somewhere to mount the cable up top.
