Arrow Got First Jeep - 98 ZJ 5.9 Limited

Bought my first Jeep today, get to pick it up tomorrow or Friday depending..

It's stock height with really small tires.

I had a hard time picking between the 2001 XJ and the 98 ZJ, went with the ZJ for better aero-dynamics.

Anything I should check first? it has 132K Miles.

I've driven many many older Fords (70's) But never a Jeep.

I'd really like to run 35's but from what I've seen so far even with 6.5" lift you can only fit a 33.....

Suggestions, ideas?

I owned 2 niners and loved them but couldn't live without a XJ. Now I got two of those. Welcome to the site.

Talking Bad News and Good

Well bad news.. the ZJ sale fell through, I was too slow producing the cash.. Well too slow driving 300 miles.. Guy couldn't wait for the weekend....

Anyway..

Picked up a WJ? I think thats the right Code for them.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.

You bought a nice Jeep. It looks pretty good, and has the 4.7L HO.
