1998 with 102k. Picked it up for $1300 with a bad rear end. A little different than the HT norm . . .




Basically stock at this point. I have a 4.5" Rubicon Express lift and JK Rubicon Moabs with 32"s for it, not sure if that will go on.

 

good pick up. 1300 is a deal1!!!

 

yeah i got a 93 grand cherokee myself... mines been a fkin headace but still fun in the mud haha urs is hella clean tho is that the 5.9L?

 

That's a steal!

 

Too bad its not a 4.0

 

It's the 5.9 . . . made only in 1998. The production was limited to 14k worldwide.

Some of the better features:
-245hp/345tq
-Heavy duty driveshaft
-Electric fan
-Full time four wheel drive
-2.75" exhaust from the factory
-0-60 in 6.8

I got me one of those too. Probably going to sell though.

 

Nice!!! I have a 1998 4.0 Limited myself.

 

They're fun vehicles and suprisingly good off road.

 

I have a 1996 4.0

 

figures someone would start a thread on the ZJ 2 months after i sell mine. i'm liking that green one, i like front end cut like that.

 

Thanks man. I cut the fenders a little while ago with an angle grinder and a cutoff wheel. Bumper cover has been off for almost a year at this point. It's too easy to tear off when wheeling.

 

yeah, for some reason, it seems as if its the first place to hit when taking a hill, lol. mine was torn up unerneath pretty good. the wife wouldn't let me take it off though.

 

i had a 94 with the 5.2/318, it was amazing in snow and mud. Also ran a 15.5 with intake and exhaust lol. I miss that thing sometimes.

 

Nice car. Sorry for going off-topic but I will be picking up a '96 5.2. How good is this motor and anything I should be concern with?

 

All depends on how it was cared for. Most are very reliable. There are a few things to look out for (249 transfer case with the V8, plenum gasket) but for the most part, they're a really solid vehicle.

 

very nice, had no idea they made a 5.9, in that body style.

I had a 96 4.0 and currently have a 5.7 2003 Overland edition (for sale if anyone is interested)

my 96 was actually what inspired me to add a little jeep to my civic, sadly this project is on hold until I can find headliner material

 

Yup, they're getting tougher to find, especially at the mileage it's got.

And your Overland is a 4.7 HO. I'd like to see the console mounted in the Civic.

 

yes, 4.7, typo

console mounted in civic is still waiting for me to find headliner material that matches. I now have a stack of sample material but nothing that doesn't look terrible in the car.

 

the whole car hahaha

 

I've seen this truck parked on Union St. That you?

 

Sure is. The 5.9 is in the driveway normally, but it's at the shop for the second time for further rear end work. What do you drive?

 

2002 CL-S, Satin Silver, Stock. Pretty unassuming.

 

Gotcha. Are you on vtrides?

 

nah, I'm not really involved with the scene anymore. I can't afford the habit. I probably know a few people who are though.

 

D44a that I swapped in is at the shop getting basically entirely rebuilt due to a series of issues with it . . . bad ebrake, all new seals, spider gears, and all new bearings. Should have it back the middle of next week sometime with my wallet $1500 lighter, and then I've got my 180 degree tstat and SCT tuner to play with.
