Default I Haz a 95 ZJ

Just picked it up yesterday, looks nice and all, but I need a remote fob for the door locks and the back ends feels kind funky. It has a Teraflex 3" lift (spring spacers) and BGF 30's on it. Do you think the lift and tires are making it feel kind of like the teacup ride at Disneyland? I have not crawled under it yet to take a good look at anything, but I'll see if I can't find anything worn. Also, the owners manual shows the transmission dipstick on the right side of the vehicle, mine is on the driver's side (4.0 engine), whats up with that?
Anybody have a fob for a 93-95 ZJ they want to sell?

You can get the fobs on Ebay.
Check the shocks, makesure the swaybar and trackbar are connected.

X2. The shocks are probably worn out too.

The shocks look new, but they may be too short because of the lift. I found some fobs on fleabay, but 55 bucks for a used fob is a little high, plus 7 dollars shipping, come on.

That's cheaper than some I've found.

On the XJ side of this forum, they're always talking about swaping injectors on the 4.0. Would that make any difference on a ZJ with a 4.0? If so, what doner should I rape for a 95 ZJ?

That is actually not at all a bad deal for the key fob... Yes you can do the same swap of the injectors, 99+ intake manifold, and any other mod that people talk about for the XJ and other 4.0 upgrades... I know one that most people do is the mustang injectors... but you can also grab injectors from a Neon as well...

They are probably talking about using 19lb. 5.0 Mustang injectors. They have a better spray pattern and are a direct swap.

What year Rustang should I look for? Checked the price at the dealer for ONE keyless remote, $180! Looks like fleabay will have to do.

Got home and crawled under the ZJ, found the front track bar to be brand new, has a few new tierod ends, brand new cheap shocks, and a new steering dampner. I know why all of these thing were replaced too. I went over some RR tracks and the death wobble came on strong! I found the rear track bar to have some play, so that explains the teacup ride feel. I think the front control arm bushings might be shot.
