I personally wouldn't even consider it. I came from a ZJ and while I really liked it, I like my WJ a lot more.

Ask yourself...if his ride was really that sweet, why would he want your boring stocker? Sounds fishy.

I wouldnt trade a newer 4.0 for an older 5.2.
You know your truck. If his was better than yours, he wouldnt want to trade. The 95s werent all that great looking anyway. The 96-98s looked better inside and out. I cant stand the 8slot grille on the 95 and belows.

This. X1000.
Picking up someone else's project only means you are picking up all of their problems.

Vote so far is 7-0 in favor of keeping the WJ. I predict a nightmare.

Alright guys, you win. Not getting the 95 ZJ, you guys are right and I don't think I have the cash to replace some 33s right now.
