Default my first jeep

Well, I was an amc freak for decades, always wanted a cj but never got one, now I can't get in and out of one,lol
I snagged myself a 94 black zj.
It doesn't look bad, now if I can just get it to run right.
At an idle it feels like its going to shake the vehicle apart. Going down the road, it smooths oujt quite a bit at about 25mph. But it still has a noticable vibration. If you take your foot of the gas, it rides really smooth, so I got that going for me, lol
I don't have a lot of plans for it, once I get it running, I want to paint it, not sure what color yet, I plan on doing away with the body cladding, and changing wheels/tires. I don't like the five spokes that are on it. As far as tires, I will probably stick with stock size but just a more aggressive tread

Well, today did not turn out as planned.
I blacked in my grille and wheels and removed the body cladding.
I wanted a pic of it with woods in the background, so I took it out in the back yard, well, I have less grass now
