Default slow cranking

Hey guys, recently when I go to start my 96 ZJ 4.0 it cranks real slow. Had the battery checked(only 1 yr old) comes up good. Cleaned the battery posts and cable clamps still same thing.It starts up every
time just concerned as the weather gets colder its going to become an issue. Any ideas?

check the other ends of your battery cables, especially the grounds.
Make sure they are aking good contact with the metal. You may even try
adding an extra ground to the motor from the battery.
