Abandoned on post. Got for next to nothing.

94 ZJ Laredo, 5.2, auto, Quadratrac, 6" lift, 32's BFG MT's on Eagle alloys, rancho 9000's, JKS Quicker Discos, brand new CD/MP3 player, new husky liners front and rear. Owner had over 8K in it.

Needs a new radiator, and possibly heads (overheated)


Might just put the J10 up for sale:tear:
I can't have 4 vehicles...:twak:

sweet, you ended up getting it huh? Am I still a primary candidate for the tie rod? :) If so, how much do you want? How was Tahuya? I had to pass, but i should be able to do oktoberfest now, without any slack from the woman. She took Tahuya from me, I demand oktoberfest!

Sorry Adam, wife got one look at it and claimed it as her own:anon: She wants to tow the horse trailer with it.
(it came w/a factory Class 4 hitch/tow package)

I replaced the radiator today, and is still overheats, so I'm gonna try the easy things like thermostat and shit first before I go and rip the heads off. It also needs a battery.

I forgot how shitty a 6" short arm lift feels. Got back into my XJ and floated back home. Gonna drop it down to 4.5.

Pics tomorrow.

Neither, just a bad decision on my part.

Long story short is that the owner went to Germany and left it abandoned on post. It took over a month to track him down. I fought off the towing company and MP's three times before I reached him.

Actually I'm gonna De-Mod it.

The lift is much too tall, I'll take off an inch or two to bring the axles back to center and the CG down. It looks kinda goofy with that big ass gap in there.

Although the BFG Muds are nice, I want a good all terrain for the wife (trade 32 AT's for MT's anyone?)

As far as the drivetrain, just a good going over, tune up, and maybe a MP computer. This is something that needs to last until I come back from Iraq.



If anyone runs across a 94 ZJ V8 fan shroud in a JY, please pick it up...I'll gladly pay you back! I'm missing mine, and can't seem to locate one...

That's Corey on PNWJeep.com. Badass rig, and I'm sure he could answer some questions you might have about ZJs.

Well, I'm officially over 200.00 into this thing...

I needed a 75.00 radiator, 3.00 radiator cap, and 35.00 for an IAC valve.

Runs like a top.

Sorry, just had to gloat.


James, PM me about the tires...
