buying a zj
Originally I had been looking for an XJ but searching the classifieds its way cheaper to buy a ZJ. What in particular should i look for? i know on cherokees the 8.25 is what to look for. I'm looking for the 4.0 but anything else in particular? i would probably do a mild lift (31s 3")

You'll only have the choice of a D35 rear axle with the 4.0. Look for one with the NP231 transfercase, you will be much happier with that. Just make sure everything works and take it for a long test drive before laying down any cash. I have a 95 ZJ and I love it, it wheels pretty darn good right out of the box! The 96-98 ZJs had some nice upgrades for comfort over the 93-95 model years. Don't worry about all of the electrical problems everybody says the ZJ has, it has no more problems than an XJ does.
