The ZJ (93-98) definitely has more swapover parts. The front suspension/steering is practically the same. The rear disc brakes can be converted. Some ZJ's (mine
have the 242 transfer case, which is good. I also believe the front seats could exchange. Oh, and the 4.0 is pretty much the same in the ZJ as XJ. Trans is completely different though. Rear axle is a D35, but it has coil mounts. And ABS was standard on all ZJ's.
The WJ uses the same 4.0 too, just a little bit different plumbing. But the WJ is really a totally different vehicle from the XJ/ZJ. Aside from the 4.0 the WJ shares nothing. Many hard core Jeep enthusiasts don't consider the WJ a 'real' Jeep because it is so different. At least it has a solid front axle...which can't be said for the Libby or new Grand.
