The plan is to build a grand cherokee (ZJ) to be as capable as possible while keeping it street legal.. and also not to use crappy parts. I want this build to be solid. Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
Instead of buying a kit and calling it good, I decided to find parts that fit or make them fit as I don't believe any 1 company is good at everything.
I've lost my previous grand in a roll over accident but thanks to that experience i've learned a thing or two and figured i'd start with a fresh canvas.
Found a ZJ that was as STOCK as possible. Picked it up from a doctor from Lone Tree. All highway miles and always maintained at the stealership. Got all records.
The Good:
Record of maintenance
One owner since 1998
No leaks
All highway miles
Leather
Heated Seats
Sun Roof / Moon Roof
V8 ( Although i wouldn't mind the i6 again)
tow package w/tow hooks
Premium Sound
Climate Control
The Bad:
np249 = All Wheel Drive ='(
bearings in rear axle were going bad
kids were being driven to soccer practices (seriously) so it was a mess back there
Other than that it is a mint.
