I can't find Tim's build thread when he built his WJ. I think it's a WJ since it has the 5.9 in it (I can't remember the difference between WJ and ZJ). It has custom long arms that he built himself with heims all the way around, D44 front and 9 inch rear with 5.13 gears and lockers in both, stretched and sitting on 38.5x15 Baja Claws. I've driven this Jeep a couple times and ridden with him also. It's a lot of fun. Here's a pic before he trimmed the back and put an interior cage through the whole thing.


Here's a pic at Silver Lake last June with the bumper he had built and put on the front and another pic that shows the rear and a little bit of the cage work he put into it. He didn't have his spare tire mounted on the back though.




Here's a couple pics of the cage. I did find the cage build.

Yeah, seen that one a couple of times on here. Th WJ starts in 1999 i believe, maybe 2000.   Every body is always mallcrawlin the newer ones. It's nice to see some peopl puttin a hurtin on these ones.

Now thats what I call a long arm lift. That ZJ is sweet.

The ZJ was from 93 to 98 & was only offered with the 5.9 in 98 as the 5.9 Limited. The WJ was from 99 to 04 & was only offered with the 4.7L & 4.0. The 4.7 is a nice rev happy motor just not as much tork as the old school 5.9L. Then Chrylser killed the Grand Cherokee in 05 with the WK with IFS. Tho it was offered with the 5.7L HEMI.

its not a real hemi tho lol nothing beats the old school hemi's but yea Chrysler killed the grand cherokee.. but the new one is pretty awesome ill say that much

[Swagger]

yeah, asthetically. i wonder what it took to get a quality lift kit made for that thing. probably an engeneering nightmare. plus, they're too suburban soccer mom-ish now. No offense to soccer moms, but that vehicle in it's current design has no plac on the trail IMHO.

depends on the trail. wheeling is not about having the best jeep in the world is about how u do with what ya got.

I went to Chrylser training school for 2 days just on the new HEMI engine. It is a Bad Ass engine.(6 bolt mains just to start)  It might not be the old school HEMI but it"s way more efficent. If the the old school HEMI was a small displacement engine like the new one & had to be able to run on 87 octain fuel then it would have less HP then the new one. The first Gen 5.7L was 345hp & 6.1L 425hp. 2nd Gen 5.7L is now up to 390hp. Have not read anything new about updating the 6.1L but about a year ago read something about a Truck HEMI 6.4L.That was before Fiat bought them out.

The new HEMI has a place in every JEEP.
