First build Thread 93 ZJ

[colozj93]

I haven't fully come up with a name for the ZJ yet the only thing that comes to mind is tranny killer. Since I have owned it I have put maybe 7k on it and have gone through two transmissions and a whole interior. I was looking for a project and my daily just elected her self with another transmission going. What I have done so far is rebuilt the motor had the tranny rebuilt and put some new dents. I am planning a full build up of it and am starting with the suspension. I am going to be fabricating a 4 link front and rear full hydro steering. full exo cage and some smaller engine mods I have a pro comp cam waiting to go in and some new valves and srings to match. planning headers and msd ignition to give the 5.2 a boost. all the mods will be for the body and suspension and axles I want to keep the rest of the drivetrain intackt. I will keep everyone posted as well as add some photos as they come

we are in the tear down phase and this week we got the tank out and put the last start on the girl for a while. She growled. No muffler, one car garage. I will throw a link up later today. We have even more to pull out, and more pics to show later

So just a little update. (No photos yet) I stoped at the local 4x4 shop and the guys there helped a lot with my planning process. I found a slightly easier way to get a 4 link without having to fab a whole crazy set up. Genright has a 4Link kit for the JKs and the frame width is close to the same as mine I just have to beef up the frame wher I want it and weld it in. Simplifies that portion and will save a bit of a headache. It's still a good amount of fab but I think it will give me a good amount of satisfaction
