'93 Zj
Here's the deal: I bought this vehicle back in 1999 as a family vehicle. It had ~50K miles on it, and was in good shape. I found JU and slowly started upgrading it, originally getting my stuff from Chet (if you don't know who he is, you're a newbie). I wheeled it, drove it, upgraded it, and eventually ended up with what it is today. Alas and alack, my family has outgrown it, I don't drive it much anymore, and I bought a new family hauler. The Zj doesn't 'have to go' or anything, seeing as how the insurance on it's cheap and it's paid for, but I'd rather someone else have it that is actually going to drive it. For a while (since the last for sale post) I loaned it to a friend of mine, but he can't afford the insurance (sux to be 17!) and is giving it back this weekend. On the off chance that you can get the search on JU to work, you can find every bit of the vehicle's history and generally a writeup of every mod I've done. Here's the short list:
1993 Zj Ltd
5.2l V8
Green
Tan interior, leather
Arb front bumper, with ARB weld-in brace- still have cut and herculined stocker
Trailready rear bumper, loaded. Cut apart and made to fit correctly.
Mopar computer, plus stock computer
Modified stock intake
K&N drop-in
Kolak Cat&Back, 3" mandrel bent exhaust
Kolak Headlight wiring bypass harness
Pioneer Cassette deck w/12disc CD changer (Hey, I like to listen to books on tape)
Pioneer 35wx4ch amp, 35x2 to the front pioneer coaxials/kenwood dash tweets, 70w bridged to the Pioneer 10" sub in custom made JL audio style box
Optima Red-top, brass terminal clamps, fully wired for whatever stereo you want to put in. No rear door speakers; I never sat back there, so I never cared what it sounded like. I used to have a Pioneer GMX-904 amp, 100wx4, running the same setup as the smaller one. It sounded sweet, and way loud. That amp died of old age, and I had to put my spare in. The whole stereo system is getting long in the tooth now.
Interior is in as good shape as you would expect for a vehicle with 120,000 miles that was family used and wheeled. No huge stains or anything, but it's definitely showing some wear on the driver's seat. No tears, rips, stains, or anything. AC has the infamous condenser leak, and I haven't recharged it in 2 years. I was planning on converting to OBA, just never got around to it. All stock controls work, all lights light up and whatnot. I currently have a pair of cheap walmart rallye driving lights on the arb hooked up to the stock foglight harness. They work, but I'm keeping them because they were a gift from my mom. I'm also keeping the winch from the arb. Trailready has wide area work lights integrated in the corners, wired through dedicated wiring and relays to complement the stock reverse lights.
I replaced the stock radiator at around 100K, replaced the hoses and waterpump at around the same time. Replaced the power steering high pressure hose around 80K. Installed a transgo shift kit around 115K. Oil has been changed every 3K miles, have fistful of jiffy-lube reciepts to prove it. Trans fluid was changed at 100K, and again when I put the transgo in. Diffs have had the fluid changed whenever I thought about it, or whenever I was in them for maintenance. More often than recommended anyway, but not sure what mileages.
4.56 Yukon Gears and new bearings in both axles, installed probably around 110K miles. Lockright for the rear, although I pulled that out a few weekends ago so the guy driving it didn't have the squall and chirp to deal with. Lockright comes with it, still in original box, with instructions, and extra crosspin. Open front diff, since I have the 249 tcase and the VC is wearing out. Hop, skip, jump, that sort of thing in parking lots. Chances are if you've read this far you know what it is and what it means. If not, search.
Rusty's 4" front coils with BB spacers in front, upcountry front coils with BB spacers in rear. Rancho RS5000s in the front, 5194 with a stud mount conversion kit. Rancho RS9000s in the back, 9194 with custom bracket extensions that raise the lower mount point 2". Used to have 9000s in the front, but I never adjusted them. The rears I adjust whenever there's a significant difference in weight due to load. Front suspension is the front half of the clayton's longarm kit. I pushed the axle forward about 1.5" to recenter in the wheelwells. It's nice. rear is stock arms, haven't had a problem with them yet. The rear bushings were replaced around 80K. Addco swaybars front and rear, modified stock links in the front, modified addco links in the rear. I just took the rear bar out when wheeling (after one expensive GSE lesson on rear discos) and pulled the front links off. Never found a disco that didn't clunk with the addcos so I just made my own. If you're curious, I used the bottom of the stock front links, half of the stock rear links, an old jack handle and some other stuff I found in the bottom of my toolbox. FWIW, they're strong enough to have ripped the antisway bar brackets off the axle, with much rewelding and such involved to put them back on. I bought some new antisway bar bracket tabs to weld on, but the repaired stockers are holding on so I never did. You can have them too. The front lower control arm mounts have Kevin's skids welded on, simple but very beefy. The front pinion seal seeps a bit, but not enough to annoy me so I've left it as is. Just enough to wet the diff in that area. Tcase rear output seeps, mostly because I still have the stock rear arms which effectively pushes the rear axle towards the tcase. Front axle has SbDriveline Ujointed shafts, and both ujoints were replaced recently just because ujoints are cheap and I wanted to do it. Replacements were 760x. Also have stock rzeppa joint shafts, with no boots. I've slowly replaced everything in the brake system other than the booster and proportioning valve in an effort to make the stock brakes not suck so much. I haven't been successful. Next on the list is the KungFu brakes if I keep it. Still has ABS. Replaced in the time I've had it have been the front calipers, pads, discs, and stock lines (with stock lines; I didn't know about the yj line upgrade then) rear shoes, drums, cylinders, and hardlines. Has stock modified (a-la tiggersbounce) tcase skidplate, stock gas tank skid. Cutom made 1"x4" low profile rock sliders, take up almost no ground clearance beneath the rockers. Hook to pinch weld and frame. I've cut the back of the front wheelwells and front of the rear wheelwells to allow larger tires, cut is clean and almost unnoticeable. I've put laredo rocker cladding over the limited's metal rockers to cover up damage (dent, no rust, nothing huge) and herculined the entire vehicle bottom. Left the gold stripe; my wife liked it. The herculiner is tough and easy to touch up. Has surco roof rack. Trailready has swingout tire carrier, stiff as all trailready's are. body condition is not bad, but does have scratches, small dents, wheeling related. Arb is fine, no particularly dents and has not been cut for larger tires. Trailready has typical trailready powdercoating quality, inasmuch as it comes off cleanly in nice large sheets. Doesn't look bad, but could use some quality time with a rattlecan of satin black. Comes with 4 31x10.5 Yokohama Geolandar MTs (almost bald) on 15x7 black steelies, with a 31x10.5 pirelli scorpion AT spare on matching rim. Also comes with 4 31x10.5 Viper LT radials on stock (ugly gold) rims, with a matching rim wearing another scorpion AT as a spare. If you want them, I also have a set of 5 jeep YJ 5spoke aluminum rims.
I'll try to take pics this weekend, but if you want to see the old pics which document it pretty much from the time I got it to when photopoint died, go here:

I'm looking for $4500 OBO out of this, or trade for an interesting other vehicle/vehicle + cash. Most interested in Dualsport motorcycles, although a VFR would certainly be nice. FWIW, I live fairly close to GSE and could bring it there for pickup, or you could pick it on on the way and wheel it like it's meant to be wheeled. Feel free to post any questions, and like I said, I'll try to take pics this weekend of pretty much the whole thing.
