picked up a 98 zj limited, 5.9


she is loaded full function, was driven back from CA last year to NY when the rear axle blew half way.  he had the axle replaced with a JY unit, but the Tcase or Rear shaft is still Fucked in his opinion.

hasent seen an east winter- its clean!

i have driven it a bunch and its got some rattles and creaks that will need to be delt with.  im thinking a 231 swap, and some driveline mounts.  runs mint.  havent found anything that doesnt work.

has a 1.5" lift

245 Ats on overland wheels

front brush guard and rear tail light guards

had one back in 99...
loved that truck...

i would have paid you half of what the truck cost if you had the original 5.9 wheels..

you want a 242 if you DD it...

They are around, problem is finding a good one. They usually have 140000 miles or more on them. Then you run into trans problems, or engine issues. These Jeeps take special parts for them only, it can be hard sourcing parts.

But for what they had it listed for on CL its a steal.
