Yeah we're never leaving Colorado! We got a JKUR to maybe potentially replace the ZJ, but I've had that thing so long I just can't see myself getting rid of it. Cracked one of the heads in Moab a couple months ago and just got done fixing all of that so now I even have more time and money into...

Greg! Trailer looks great man! Hope all has been well for ya!

I'm starting to think a tear drop that is large enough to be what I want it to be, would be way too large to take in the places we go. We've got a ZJ on 35's and a stock JKUR that could tow this thing, but the JK will only be stock for so long before it's on 35's or larger as well, and we'd...

Who's built a larger tear drop that is still capable off the beaten path? I'm 6'5" and need a bit more space than most of the tear drops I've seen out there. Between myself, wife, and 2 90lb dogs we take up quite a bit of room. We have an M416 with RTT that we might replace with a homebuilt...

Very curious how those axles work out for ya. I may be revamping my M416 in the future and those look promising.

The title of the thread says "98 Grand Cherokee" which implies it's a ZJ.

I hated that shifter on our WK2, one of the reasons we got rid of it. When we got the Jeep the salesman told us they had to do it that way because there wasn't enough "room" for the mechanical linkage. No clue as to the accuracy of his statement though. On the highway though the 8spd tranny...

I ran 235/75R15's on mine when it was stock, don't recall there being any issues.

One thing to be careful of with the disco's, although I don't think it applies to this rig, disco'ing the swaybar if you have the CV/rezeppa style front driveshaft WILL grenade the front driveshaft sooner rather than later. Where a regular u-jointed shaft has two pieces that slide on each other...

I would, but you wouldn't be able to easily cut all of that away. I ran 32x11.50's on a 2" BB for years on my ZJ, but trimmed heavily on front and rear fenders.

There was a trick a guy came up with a while back that involved cutting a hole in your floor to get to the top of the tank. I believe it was called the Swampy Bypass or something similar, should be some OLD threads on JU or NAGCA about it.

If I were to buy a WJ, I'd look for a V8 Laredo model. It will help with the towing power, and a lot of the Limited models had the dual zone climate control which can have problems. The 4.0 is a fine option as well, really depends on what you're going to tow if the 4.0 will suffice or if you...

I like that mount, however that would interfere with my leg whenever I rode shotgun, being 6'5" makes some interior things a bit of a challenge!

I've used the 75 in another rig and can't hear the damn thing to save my life. I run regular external speakers in all of my other rigs, but don't want to clutter up the JK interior anymore than I have to.

Recently my wife and I picked up a 2015 Tank JKUR that we will be building into a moderate wheeling and expo rig. I bought my 95 ZJ in 2000 and it still works well, but certainly does not have the creature comforts that the JK does. The ZJ is long armed, HP30, 8.8, 35's, etc etc etc. It's...

This. I'd much rather try to limp an XJ out of the middle of nowhere than a WK.

I know there's a facility in Golden where they do a lot of testing, usually for some of the higher end imports. They test the vehicles from all sorts of manufacturers, so it's not much of a surprise to see different ones lumped together.

Also more reliable. Less stress on control arm mounts and such. If you're not going to go long arms, I wouldn't do more than 2-3".

Can't see your pics from work (stupid filters) but I'm guessing it's the intake plenum you're referencing. The 5.2/5.9 are certainly prone to that failing. When I had it happen on one of my ZJ's we didn't notice any mileage issues, but it's a good thing to replace either way. We found out we...

In my experience the stabilizer will simply mask other issues that are occurring in your suspension and steering.
