1998 5.9L zj $2500.00
5.5 lift and 231 t-case swap, I've swapped out the front cv axle's to 297''s and the 32/11.50 mud dawgs have about 4 thousand miles on them. The electric window's are all messed up and the rear is howling pretty good (44a). For another $200.00 I'll finish the front bumper. Just bought a sammy and somethings gotta go. Located just south of Parkersburg WV. 26143 is the zip

Looks nice and a great price for the most powerful Jeep before the SRT 8!
Good luck with the sale.
BTW, I love white Jeeps. Both of mine are white. Wish I had more room!

Just tore down the rear end and it's pretty much toast. The passenger side axle bearing is leaking and the spiders, ring gear and pinion show alot of wear. It also has a new JKS adj trackbar. Some info on the 5.9L
1998 5.9 Limited
1998 (with the newly available 5.9L V-8)
1998 5.9 L (360 CID) Magnum V8 245 hp (183 kW) 345 ft·lbf (468 N·m) Limited
The Orvis Edition luxury trim package was optional on the Limited version, and when equipped with all the other options was the most expensive of all the Grand Cherokee versions until 1998 when the 5.9 Limited was introduced.
The 5.9 L Limited ZJ (1998)
The 5.9 Limited was a Jeep Grand Cherokee produced only for the 1998 model year, having more luxury and performance than that of the regular Limited. Chrysler manufactured nearly a quarter million Grand Cherokees in 1998. Of those, fewer than fifteen thousand were 5.9s. It housed a Magnum 5.9 LV8 engine with an output of 245 hp (183 kW) and 345 lb·ft (468 N·m) of torque, going from zero to 60 mph (100 km/h)in only 7.3 seconds[8] (Motor Trend measured this at a slightly faster 6.8 seconds[9]), making it the quickest SUV available that year. The performance of the 1998 5.9 L V8 has been surpassed by Jeep only with the introduction of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, which housed a 6.1 L Hemi Engine.[10] The 5.9 Jeep Grand Cherokee was named the 1998 four-wheel drive vehicle of the year by Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine.[11]
The 5.9 Limited was available only in Deep Slate, Stone White, and Bright Platinum.
The Grand Cherokee 5.9 further included additional performance-enhancing features including:
A stronger 46RE transmission than the 5.2
Quadratrac heavy duty NV249 transfer case
Standard trac-lock rear differential
An electric fan
A high-output 150A alternator
Lower restriction exhaust and chrome plated exhaust tip

jonb8 you need to put this on NAGCA or somewhere else where they'll appreciate what it is and not try to get it for the price of an old 4.0L XJ.
Edit: I'm glad to see another White ZJ with the Orvis package, as my '97 does. Does it also have the 10 way heated black leather seats?

No it's not a orvis; but it does have every option Chrysler ever had, the sticker price on this jeep was $41,000 and I have over a thousand in the lift and tires. The 5.9 zj was built for only one year 1998, and less than 15,000 was built. I was just offering it up cheap so someone could get an affordable trail rig they could fix up. I'll just keep it until it's finished then sell it.... A mod can delete this post I'll keep it before I give it away.

I paid $6,000 plus tax and title fees for my loaded '97 5.2L V8 Limited Orvis Up-Country equipped ZJ 5 years ago. White w/black leather.

Bump for a great price and a reputable seller. Jon is a good guy to do business with.
If you think that this is to much for this you obviously have no idea what you are looking at and should just exit the thread.
Now all you vultures back off... Im trying to sell a kidney over here to afford this.

Yeah I would really like to have this ZJ if only I had the room. This thread would be locked . Seriously though, let me know before you sell it, whether somewhere else, or here. I'll try and sell one of my GLHT's to make room in storage for it. Been lookin' for a white one, but don't really like the lifted look.
