Hello all

I'm Dave, Residing in Comstock Park, MI.
I am 29, have 3 kids, married and own a ZJ 94 GC Laredo.
Vehicle has a 5.2L, Automatic, alltime 4WD and I love it

My wife had a 94 Cherokee (not a grand) last year that I took offroading, hydrolocked it and like a dummy I forgot to change the oil after I got home.. a week later I tossed a rod out of the block I miss the 4.0

Anywho.. Here is what I and my JEEP are about..

I am a big car guy, I have an 86 Mazda RX7 that I am currently building, My wife has a 95 Pathfinder that she loves (and I would love to get rid of) lol

I also own my own "car" forum News Page • spooledupracing.com

I have had the ZJ for about 6 weeks now, traded it for my daily driven 1994 Acura Integra and I got a deal I think lol..

No real problems with the JEEP and it drives good and is fun in the snow we got here

THX again for reading my intro.. Feel free to ask question!!

Pics of My ZJ! ( I know its dirty and salty.. needs a bath)

Exterior (good side):


Interior (nice and minty):


Back end with my sub (1 12" Fozgate Punch2, 300w dual amp, bridged):

are your lights mounted to the stock rails? if so how did you do it and where did you run the wires?

Yes they are.. The bolt that holds the lights up was just long enough to get through the rails with a nut on them... I just drilled a hole through the stock rail and set the light stud though it..

I then drilled a small hole under the side rail through the top of the jeep and ran the wires under the headliner down the A pillar

I then tightened everything down and got a tube of CLEAR window sealant and ran it down both sides of the side rail.. No leaks

I only did it because I don't have a front bumper bar and I didn't want to drill them into the plastic bumper cover.

Welcome to the Forum from Spring Lake. Nice looking Grand. I also have some lights on my stock rails (however they are very small) I plan on moving them to the back for brighter back up lights though.
