Just picked up a 98 ZJ Laredo 4.0 while mechanically sound aesthetically could use some love
Mechanical things to fix:
Interior map lighting
The latch on the glass part of the rear hatch will not allow the glass to open
New tires
The speakers cut in and out and the buttons on the aftermarket radio don’t always respond as they should either a speaker issue or wiring issue hopefully adapters were used and the harness wasn’t hacked to pieces
Aesthetic to fix:
The front door panels need replaced they were replaced once and don’t match my ocd can’t handle that
Headliner need to be replaced
Cladding on the doors is gone thinking of replacing with truck bed liner
Needs a good cleaning inside and out
Future mods: (no particular order)
Flow master 40
High flow cat
Cold air intake
Leveling kit
Front and rear bumpers
Death wobble kit
Rock sliders
Upgrade interior lighting
Under hood and lift gate lighting with lift gate audio
Custom decals
First things first though steering wheel cover the steering wheel material is falling apart got that done now I need to back flush the heater core but I have no garden hose spicket
UPDATE 3/4/19
I got my heater core back flushed today and also burped the coolant system everything seems to be working now which is great I had heat on my drive home from class tonight.
Also installed a new head unit in the Jeep which 1) gave me Bluetooth and hands free calling as required by law and 2) I was able to determine that my speaker issue is either the speakers or the wiring to them.
I've had 4 GC's all with 4.0s , 2 zj and 1 xj and one wj..
Now I just picked up a nice wj for 8 bills with 4.7 only has 130000 on it . Never been off road.
The problem is its AWD

Welcome to NAGCA!
I was wondering if anyone has put 33" tires on a WJ? If so what kind of lift did you put on? Also was wondering if its possible to buy a 4" lift kit and use a 1-2" body lift with it.
This is dirty dirty me and my girlfriend bought this Jeep together and it’s been our project/daily we put a bunch of work into it and I’m excited to talk to you guys and girls about it
