Holy Keerap that is one very built ZJ. The thing just sounds wicked....... and it's really wierd to hear that kinda noise come from a GC. The guy does good work and is super meticulous with his fab work. That thing had FIVE radiators on it for the different fluid systems. Electric exhaust cut outs were a really cool touch. :thumbup:
I now know that I will be getting 18x9's with 255/55's .......... they just look right on a ZJ as do the lowering springs. (pic shown is prior to the lowering springs).
But, the ZJ is now back together with the headlights re-aimed, all the gaps look good now and nothing wiggles up front. Pretty stupid design though - there isn't anyway to replace bulbs up front without taking most of it apart again....... :mad.
Not sure if I have a short somewhere, but the front turn signal bulbs (3157's) don't light up with the parking lights on. Only the corner markers. Early research seems to indicate that the turn signal bulbs never did work as parking lights on the ZJ's....... but why dual fillament bulbs????
Surfing on NAGCA I found a thread where a guy with this '98 ZJ did a write up on making his turn signals light up with the corner markers....... he swapped out the single fillament bulb plugs with dual fillament plugs from ZJ tail lights...... and spliced into the corner lights.
I'd have thought this is how they'd have worked in the first place........ maybe not? :dunno:
