Spudy's Zj build.

[Spudy]

Hello all.
Been meaning to start one of these for a while. My 1994 Zj 5.2 first started its life as the wifes dd. We got it about 4 years ago for $3000 Body was in good shape. No rust just a bad dent in the back that a friend fixed for me. Well after i sold my cj i had because i can not deal with a damned carburetor i decided to play with it since we bought a Grand Prix to save on gas.

I picked up some 30's and played. Picked up a 2" bb lift after that. Played around with some 4 in tj coils in the front and my old fronts springs in the back before finally buying a 3.5 coils made for a zj for up front. ( for the record i gained 1 in with the 3.5 zj coils or the 4 tj coils.)

During this whole time i build my roof rack, rock sliders, and front bumper(front bumper build link http://www.mallcrawlin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21904). Just recently a off road shop in my area wanted to start selling rear bumper for zj and used mine for a prototype so I gained a free back bumper also.

did you end up getting those KM2s?

[Spudy]

they are the old style kms and yes i did. Did some trimming to drive daily for now. Got a friend who will help me do better trimming for flex later. So far liking these kms they are quiter compared to the trail diggers i had.

btw let me know when we are going to build a bumper for you

[ajmorell]

As much as I'd like too, not any time soon. I'm moving out to Santa Fe, NM in January

If you want some help with your fender trimming let me know or I can at least tell you how I did mine.

Been a while since i added to this. Ended up changing my intake set up to a cone filter. Also picked up a NIB lock right locker for that dana 35 for $50. Was too cheap to pass up lol even though i wanted a selectable when i went to a locker. But i only put a about 5k on this a year anymore. Wow does a locker make a big difference.
