Nice looking Grand, my mom drives a Limited that looks almost the same.

Thats a Limited also, dont know where those sawblade wheels came from. It's a 93 Limited 5.2L.

Needs some work, but my wife's Country has floor rot and wanted to get her out of it. A bit of maint,cosmetics and a paint job and she should be happy with it for a few years.

Bought it with 'alignment issues" needing front end work...

What do you mean "alignment issues"? You mean it's not supposed to look like that? :laugh3: Was it in an accident? Looks like it was hit on the drivers front to cause a bend like that. If it had been hit that hard it would have damaged the rim which would explain it having the rims swapped out.

[OverlandXJ]

No evidence of an accident. But your logic is sound..

My guess is either curb or someone misplaced the Jack. :doh:

looks like a good tweak, easy fix. Good luck with your new project.

Sure...appreciate it. Throw them in the XJ's glovebox and i'll grab them at NAC-Fest.

Wouldnt happen to have the FSM? I'll keep looking on ebay if ya dont.

:cheers:

i have one for my 95 you can copy

[OverlandXJ]

Keith, thought you might like to see it as it sits now. Fixed the non op power windows (broken wire in jamb), replaced the steering again after robbing it for my rig, found and installed the new leather seat that was ripped. Threw on the rims from the wifes country since i couldnt find the "correct" Limited wheels or a replacement sawblade as was on it. Still need to get to that plenum hose you told me about.

This Jeep has been rock solid dependable for the past three years, other than an ECU. The Mrs likes this Jeep and wouldn't let me have it.. i wanted a V8 ZJ and she aint budging.

The interior needed some more attention so i decided on a little restoration was in order. It started out aquiring new leather seating from NAXJA goodguy kenallwine.

Got them all cleaned up and stripped the ZJ's interior. Found a spot rusting and lifting behind the drivers front seat.. so cut that out and another NAXJA goodguy EasyXJer was kind enough to allow me use of his welder and patched it.

Scrubbed the carpet and reinstalled the new interior.

Under the rig there is zero rust on the floorboards, but every door, hood and hatch has rust on the bottom folded lips. Plan is to aquire clean rustfree replacements and have this Jeep painted this winter or next Spring.

I'll keep updating this thread if y'all are interested in a ZJ resto?

I'll also start a thread for my XJ's replacement... a 98 ZJ with 4.0 and 242 that i have started tinkering with.

nice work hoss

[OverlandXJ]

Thanks Eric..

Had a thought last night, going to call Pennco Tech and see what the details are on having students do the paint work.

Today i may pull the rear carpet and get that scrubbed up.... but looking like rain up here.
