I have some vibes but a 28 year old mount isn't helping. Might as well upgrade the crossmember and go with a high clearance drop one while I'm replacing the mount.

Factory scheduled 749699 km oil and filter change.
Cleaned up some motor and firewall ground connections and re-torqued the rocker cover.
Full grease (18 nipples)
Pulled one screw and plugged flat tire, my new snow tires, arrgh. Who is dropping all the danged nails and screws on the roadways? If I ever find out.........end game.
Bandaged one rear door, fibre glassed the rot, no new door replacements till spring.
Used the new 220V heater in the garage, cozy.

I learned how to get in my Jeep when the handles are froze again today. Hit the button and free them up before unlocking the door. This way it's easier not trying to move both.

Man, that jeep looks great. Bit of advice though, whatever you decide to bedline, do yourself a favor and buy a good kit like Monstaliner or go have it professionally done with Line-X. I did the Rustoleum spray bomb stuff on mine and it's like installing sandpaper on the side of your Jeep. Definitely wouldn't ever do that again.

Trust me, I would never run jk wheels on a ZJ, or anything for that matter. 16 is the largest wheel I can handle. The TJ moabs just look very nice on ZJs and XJs for people running a more modest suspension setup
Actually they look pretty good on a WJ



But yeah, for your ZJ, you should definitely do the TJ Moabs

Cleaned 6 inches of snow off it so I can go buy gas for the snow blower. I should have bought the gas last night before it started snowing hard, but I said screw it I have a jeep I can get out of the driveway

One more coffee, then it is off to buy gas and start clearing driveways.

I used herculiner and it faded within the year. Had to spray paint it black again to keep the look. Will end up having to spray it again most likely

I would rock them on a WJ if I had one, but I never will lol. They are nice though

Its either TJ moabs with 245/75s or my current wheels with new tires, probly some aggressive 31s

Crappy picture but those are it.

This is from when I had black cladding, not a fan. Too flashy
