This thread is to serve as an inspiration to others modifying their ZJ's. Pretty simple, just post what you did to your ZJ today!


Today I shamefully took my Jeep to get the oil changed because it was to hot to change it myself.

Backed out the broken differential cover bolt and put in my Junkyard one. Tightened up no problem. The bolt that broke must have been over tightened or something at some point...

I got a Fender GD DEC 30 for the home and a Schecter C1 custom. Couldn't pass up that deal :2thumbsup:
About 9 years ago I picked up a Japanese Fender P Bass Lyte Deluxe at guitar center use for $160. They threw in a nice free gig bag too. This thing was like a year old and in great shape. It was originally a $900 bass. They had it for so cheap because the pickups would cut in and out and were pretty noisy. It needed a new 9 volt battery. Cheap fix for a great bass. It quickly became my number one bass over both my American Fenders.

That is a nice bass. I play bass too. I have a Westone Matsumoto Thunder 1 and a Hartke Transporter 4x10 with 1x15. I got that thing for cheap because the guy kind of abused it and didn't really know what he had. I fixed it up and have been using it since. It worked great through the Zep Cover band times in college. :highfive:

New water pump is rocking. Pretty happy that is over. I think I can hear a front hub bearing starting to squeak. Maybe it's just birds.

Same temp here. Outside temp showed 101 sitting in traffic on I94 in the Twin Cities on the way home. Temp gauge went up to 235 and stayed there.....
I don't mind the heat so much. Its all this humidity that kills me. Cant wake up without feels sticky and gross lol.

Need to figure out what's up with my ac as well. Open windows only do so much whennits hot and humid

I bought my Jeep with the sheet metal torn out around the latch. It happened to the owner before the woman I bought it from, and he just had the latch tack-welded onto the torn sheet metal. It was no surprise when it tore again. So I bought a new door (stupid forest green looks wrong on my moss green ZJ) and put some washers under the lower hinge so it would line back up. Pain in the ***. That new door cost me $160 from the only yard in the area with a green 96-98 door. Now my inner panel is broken.

I'm thinking, if I can find a moss green door with grey interior, I'll just swap out for that one and have my damn door proper. The Jeep just looks weird with 2 shades of green.

I know the feeling... What happened?
We were across from eachother at a 4way stop, I was goin left, he was going straight but I stopped and he didn't. We met in the middle.

Got a pic on the wifes phone, will put up in a bit. No mechanicals hurt but lm sure labor alone will total it out.

I hate working so hard to see it ruined by another. I'll be in dark hole for awhile beating my self up for not paying more attention if anyone needs me.....
