    Yeah your jeep looks good. Sorry if I didnt wave back I was prolly looking for something. Or I am just used to not getting waved at by other jeepers since I drive a Wagon of a jeep and not a wrangler

    Ive tried to stay away from stickers, I tend to overload on them. Earlier I had the rubicon sticker on it, but then I got thumbsdowned by some other jeeper guy so I knew it was time for the rubi stickers to come off. I chopped off my Exhaust pipe after the muffler and it sounds a lot better now. Well, it sounds good for free. It has a low idle, but sounds louder when you rev it. How do I manage to get one of these stickers?

    I got some new updated pictures of my new bumpers. I painted them black with Krylon Fusion and it dried in 10 minutes in 30 degree weather.

    Lockers are needed:
















    Thats only selected photos, I have hundreds of pictures.

    Nice looking rig. I'd ditch the front CV axles to start with- hit up a U-pull-it and snag some for cheap.

    I plan on getting new u joints anyways. My friend has my old Ujoints while I have the cvs in. My old U/joints hopped in 4wd so thats why i have the cvs in now. I wonder if I put the same u joint ones in if it wont hop anymore. My cv axles click while turning

    the soccermom offroad sticker is a tribute sticker to the soccer mom vehicle it used to be.

    Thats sucks man. It seems normal after a while, my guess would be shorten your track bar, or something like that.

    Heres an update of what it looks like now. Its been a while since I last updated, but I have made some sliders, and I got some small stuff done. I got a new SS, and new Quick discos from rustys, and a new tow hitch with ball receiver.

    Man, I am yet to see your Jeep around- I now work over in Clackamas, live in SW Portland almost in Beaverton. Your ZJ looks alot cleaner than my white paint-chipping disaster. Now that I'm employed again, I might be able to get some of the small stuff done- like replacing the rear shafts and outer bearings to get rid of my howling, new wheels to replace my cheap bent ones that came on it, etc...
    Clean rig- if you see a white ZJ around- give me a wave...

    p.s.- what gears are you running? I'm still at the factory 3.55, and was wondering how your rig does with the 32's if it's runnning the same. My next set of tires might see a step up from 31's...

    I will hope to see you around. With the 3.55 and 4.0 and 32s, its the slowest you can get. The acceleration is bad, but tolerable. Sometimes it will go fast, I got it to 90 going downhill, and thats the fastest its been with the lift and tires on.

    Update, I got a 4th hella and put it up on top. I think it looks better

    Well, I don't have the money to throw some gears in, and even if I did, I wouldn't waste time/money gearing a Turdy5. So I'll stick to 31's then, it's kind of a dog anyways, and driving through traffic across town kills my fuel mileage with the 3.55's- engine works pretty hard to get the thing moving again.

    Painted my plastics





    Got myself some new control arms from a guy of JF. Fixed my DW, and now it rides like a cadillac.



    Removed the painted stripe off the wheels with some acetone..
