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.

What bushings? Lol those are horrible
Yeah, there wasn't much left of them that's for sure. At least one of the previous owners replaced all the rears with urethane.

Those are stock bushings. Probably never been changed. Mine looked like that too. Night and day difference with how it rode after.
That was my thinking too. They almost made it 225k miles before the front end started to get a little death wobbly over bumps. Hopefully my Raybestos/Clevite replacements give me a decent service life.

Rotated my tires today, cleaned the one up real good before it went in the back cuz I havnt had a 31" cover made yet. Put the spare rim on for what looks like the first time ever! I know its the first time I personally put a tire on it!

Went to a junkyard and pulled a 231 to swap into my grand, man those bolts on the back of the xj transmission are a ***** compared to the bolts on the zj. It was impossible to get any sizable ratchet on those things. Glad I have a zj and not an xj. :cheers2:

Oh and grabbed a 2wd cubby from a zj while i was there. Bye bye stupid broken vic! :2thumbsup:

We were pulling the motor and trans from my buddy's xj, the rest was getting scrapped so we cut a hole in the floor to get to the bolts easier

Changed the engineoil + oilfilter, changed the oil in the front and rear axle, changed the oil in the transfercase and replaced my almost rusted out fuelfilter.

Done my two CV boots and a coolant flush for my 5.9...
Took the coolant tank out for washing it, but didn't look were the tank overflow hose goes... someone can tell if it goes throu the hole to the wheel arch ?
Yeah, the coolant overflow goes threw the hole in the top of the passenger fender wheel...

Installed the new front rotors because the front passenger-side was warped. They were both fairly rusted around the vent areas anyway. No more wobble or shaking while braking, nice & smooth now ! ! :2thumbsup: :D Changed the oil with Mobil 1 Synthetic and Mopar filter...

How difficult was it to do your boots? I need to do the driver's side on mine still.
