all ZJs (93-98) were available with the 5.2L. 98s had the 5.9 option.

93-95s have the better 46rh trans, and the 96-98 have the 44re. all v8s will have the 249 awd transfer case.

Yea thats what im hoping tjis one is... 2 flat tires. Been sitting in driveway for 2 years or so. I drive past it every week. Just put forsale sign on it this week.
96 = emmisions >:(
Title: Re: Garafalo ZJ wonder3.0 build
Post by: M4wdFab on November 08, 2013, 09:26:12 AM
my 5.9 is sweet

only made one year 98

emissions suck, but its not that bad- took me two tries after diagnosing a few things with a code reader.

Used leftover buggy break line and fittings to get this thing on the road.

Gonna put some better tires on it. Eventually lift it with 31's if I find a cheap set.

City is crossed out on title? That probably voids it if I'm remembering fine print right. I could look but I'm not going back to my desk right now. Finally stretching my legs :)

Mule paperwork has been chilling for even longer than its brake line situ

Put the aluminum wheels back on this guy after reseating the bead on one that leaked when I got the Jeep. Got some junkyard love with panels switches and window mechanism stuff. Now needs passenger side window mechanism replaced (broke right after I got it working!!!)

Going to paint roof rack and put back on (not sure what I'll use it for yet)

Need to take to dealer and redeem my free trailer hitch to pull the trailer I don't have. lol

Good thread on why my temp control does not work:
