Here is a forum I found for those out there that have a ZJ. Not a fast forum but lets get it going with some publicity. http://nagca.com/home.php A couple pics of mine.

Do you have to run some kind of after market, high performance parking brake to get that kind of shot? :idea:

NAGCA has been pretty dead lately. Check out the Grand Slams though. I've been to GSSW and GSW in Moab.
Here are some more good sites:

I'm on my 3rd ZJ now after owning 3 XJ's. The latest is getting long arms, 8" lift, 8.8 rear, D44 front, Atlas T-case.
I might be interested in Kevnmcd's 5.9 if I can sell my Vette. I had a 5.9 before but sold it because it was too nice to wheel it.

That is nice Kevin. I would like to have it also. I'm lookin for a 92-95 Bronco though for my 16yr old son. Do you know what rear end the 5.9 has? Mine had an aluminum case D44 which I swapped out for a ford 8.8.

Very nice, i was thinking about getting a newer one with quatra drive, say a 2002 or so but im scared about the reliability with the 4.7.

It would be great for the street, every day driver. The tried and true 5.2(318) will run forever in the earlier years. Mine has 182,000 miles and still smokes Honda slammers stop light to stop light even with the set up I have.

One of my neighbors has one out in their yard for $2K. It is a full size and I think it is in that year range???

I think all the 5.9's came with the alum D44. Mine did. You can get a copy of the build sheet from D-C. Here's a section of mine about the axles:
4-Speed Automatic Transmissions 4-Spd. Automatic 46RE Transmission Lock-Up Torque Converter Quadra-Trac "On Demand" 4WD System Dana 30/186MM Front Axle 3.73 Axle Ratio Dana 44/226MM Rear Axle Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle All Engines 5.9L V8 MPI Engine
8.8 is the hot ticket though (or a Currie 9+!).

That's another thing about the Limiteds or 5.9's. They have that all wheel drive. Not good for tires, gas mileage, driving or wear. After many sets of expensive tires wearing funny I finaly dropped in a 242 tranfer case. Could'nt be happier.
