Hi everyone,

Our family has been a Jeep family for a while, but it was finally time that I got my own. My wife's 4x4 Renegade was fun, but not as trail ready as I would like. I did some searching and decided that the Cherokee platform was what I wanted to go with given the spacious interior, family hauling capability, and solid roof. I found a nice deal on a '94 ZJ that already had some of the mods I would have done myself and picked it up! It has a rebuilt 4.0L, rebuilt trans, rebuilt t-case, new fuel pump, a 3.5" lift, 31" AT tires on 15" wheels, and a cherry interior. The only thing wrong with it is a little rust on the passenger front quarter pannel but I think i can do some cutting and put flairs on it. If anyone has suggestions for the flairs I'm all ears!

Welcome! May I share that if you will be off roading with your family in this, please seriously consider a roll cage as a first addition. I just found out the roof is not as solid or as strong as it looks.

2nd Bugout... It won't hold the weight of the jeep in a rollover. Welcome and share your tales!
