    Cool 95 ZJ Build

    Just bought a 95 ZJ for $1400, had transmission rebuilt pretty much completely for $1500. I just ordered the Rusty's 2" BB and JKS Quick Disco's today. Plan on getting the KM2's next. I have trimmed the bumper and will trim out the wells when I get the tires.

    It's on it's way. I will have, hopefully, the RE 3.5 Super Flex in a couple of months.

    Great platform. I've built 2 ZJs and waiting on my cousin to get some money so we can build some more on his. It's got a 2" BB and 31s so far.

    I've got the KM2's on my Wrangler and like them.

    This thread needs more photos.

    Got under the front end and discovered that all of my bushings are trashed. Good thing I plan on adding an RE Super Flex 3.5 to the mix.

    I have a 97 zj awd. I was wondering with the 2" lift if you had any vibrations?

    Looks good so far!

    When you cut the fenders back like that do you need to fabricate it at all to 'seal' the outer fender and 'skeleton' fender or does it just cut off?

    I have a 98 ZJ I Just got an am looking forward to upgrading it!
