Default What do you think? Was it a good trade?

So I had an 89 Cherokee Pioneer with 6.5" BDS coils and a 2" spacer, 4" BDS leafs with a 2" shackle and a 2" block. It had 35" Pro Comp Xterrains on black Bart rims. It also had TNT long arms, Corbeau Racing seats. The front axle was a hp non disco D30 withstock 3.55 gears and an Aussie locker. The rear was a 29 spline Chrysler 8.25 with stock 3.55 gears and an Aussie locker. Had no sye and stock brake lines, heat barely worked, speedo didnt work, no front bumper, other misc things wrong. Oh and it had around 165xxx on it and steering was shot.

I traded it for a 95 Grand Cherokee ZJ with 4.0, auto, 231 T-Case, 157xxx, K&N cone filter, Livewire 11.5mm wires, Mopar Performance cap and rotor, Scremin Demon coil, BBK 62mm TB, Rustys TB spacer, Thorly Header, Cherrybomb exhaust, new o2 sensors, just serviced the trans and has aftermarket trans pan, 4.5" rubicon Express Super Flex lift on 33" BFG MTs, Cragar soft 8s, RockCrusher WJ steering conversion, Bilstein shocks, Rustys HD track bars, Billet quick discos, stainless extended brake lines, Chromo axle shafts front and rear, Warn hubs, Spicer u-joints, 4.56 gears front and rear, Powertrax LockRight Locker in front, Detroit Tru-trac LSD rear, Kevins Offroad sliders, Kevins Offroad steering brace, RockCrusher diff guards front and rear, T-case skid, Control arm skids, and gas tank skid. The interior was basically flawless and SUPER clean, minor dents and scratches on exterior, high lift jack on roof, CB radio and whip antenna, and it runs and drives perfect. Just will need some control arm bushings soon.

How do you guys think I did?

I'm going to say good trade, but only because I love the 95-98 Grand Cherokees. Just not limited. Those are little too queer with the wood finish and leather seats.

P.S. Update your forum vehicle specs to current.
