I agree. It's definitely not a 04 grille, odd that the option WAS available at all but... I wasn't aware of the fact they even made them like that. Wouldn't you still expect it to be printed on the surround even if it was though?

I'd steer clear of this one. It sounds like a parts-is-parts throw together or a 2wd.

My thoughts exactly...either it's a bunch of jeeps thrown together or simply a 2wd...which in my opinion, isn't even a jeep at that point. I mean...why? Lol

Thanks for the help guys, I'm definitely going to pass on this one. I thought it was cheap at 2k or best offer I was thinking I could get it for $1700. I even asked him if he was sure it was 4wd and he said "yes it is quada drive" I don't want a 2wd or something thrown together either. I'll keep looking.

I think that's a good idea man. Sounds like the guy doesn't know what he's talking about and the pics are really vague too. Something's definitely missing.

Since getting my ZJ I have put about 700 miles on it. I calculated the mileage on my last fill up and I am getting 15.6mpg. Is that about normal for a 4.0?

If you did any low range or first gear high crawling along in that you are doing pretty good for these.

I will check it again next fill up because yesterday I did about 5 miles in 4-low, just because it was in the mountains and 4-low means I don't have to use as much (if any) brakes on the downhills.

That's about what I was getting in my XJ combined before I lifted it and put the bigger tires on it.

Put another 317 miles on the ZJ this past week and the mileage was better, at 17.3mpg. About 80% highway, 15% streets, and 5% slow trail riding.

My miles are almost all highways miles and when the temps are cold and the air is dense about the best I have gotten was around 21-22. I can get just a little more if I stay right on top of it at a strict 65 mph. So I think you are doing pretty well for what you did there.

Ok, first post so please take it easy on me! My wife's 2012 grand Cherokee with a Hemi has selec trac on it. Well, the other day it starts flashing for no reason on selections such as sport, snow, etc. took to dealer to hook up and nothing is showing. They said could be bad switch so instead of spending $600 for labor and switch I got a tested one from junk yard and put in. It is still flashing??? Anyone heard of or seen this? Am I missing something? Frustrated! Thanks for any help!
