You got rid of that zj, booo.

We have a '94 1500 350ci 2wd ext cab blah blah blah and its been a great truck. Going on 286k and still running strong. Their great trucks, but keep an eye on the trans.

Don't neglect the xj too much, it will start to get jealous.

Looks killer, Now just bedline the bed. And add a light bar or something on the bumper.
