Twisted ZJ Build Thread (pic heavy)
Ive had my build threads posted on club's websites and such but figured JeepForum is pretty much one place I can always link so i'm going to start one on here..
Bought the Jeep from the original owner, its a 98 grand cherokee limited
160k on odometer, mostly highway miles. Got original dealership tags and every oil change and maintenance receipt from the guy, good stuff!
although, not much of a grand cherokee in it anymore
