Title: NameLESS- Project ZedJ
Post by: cjust on March 24, 2014, 09:41:29 AM
1995 Jeep grand cherokee orvis. 219,000 original kilometres. Only drivin in the winter for the past 10 years. Sat for 2 years before i got it.

Since ive got it i have ordered up some goodies, bought used goodies from fellow zjer's and done all my maintenance.


Here she is the day i got her.

A good wash when the weather warmed up!

She had a nasty leak in the powersteering lines so i replaced those and installed a different intake.
Before

You should have dropped the extra coin on the currie steering setup.
Title: Re: NameLESS- Project ZedJ
Post by: WhiteOut on May 03, 2014, 01:39:05 PM
If still can, return the steering you ordered and go with the Currie.

Understandable. Jeeps have a way if killing the typical bank account. Obviously it won't be a daily driver, so the vibes you will have to deal with won't be driving you crazy . Like to see it when you get it back!
