Rebuilt my rear dual cardan, now finally both driveshafts are where they belong. Used 4wd for the first time since I bought it 2 weeks ago.

Tried to do the cotter pin fix on my passenger side front window... Turns out the PO tried the same thing and failed miserably... I've never seen that much duct tape and that many zip ties on a vehicle in my life smh.

Thanks to him I need a new parts, wish he left it alone

Went to start her up this morning and got a loud noise. Freaking lower idler pulley seized up. I said screw it not in the mood to fix it so she will sit for a while. POS getting really sick of my Jeep and will probably be selling it soon.

Funny thing is my friends XJ is sitting in my driveway right now. He hates it but is stuck driving it while his Toyota gets a new fuel pump installed.

I want to sell my ZJ and fix up my VW rail buggy for the summer time.

Here it is. Not much to it. Stole the dang thing to $1500 and it runs perfectly, doesn't smoke at all and goes like hell.
MY ZJ and the buggy at a local ORV park.

Congratulations on the 97 Country! I've had my 97 Country for less than a month now, but it's been in the family for 12 years. It's the last year of the Country trim.
