1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0
Bought this jeep WJ to get me by while I built my Toyota. It was cheap had a 3' lift, brand new bfgs and leather/AC. Got it home and found out the cylinder head was cracked and the radiator was bad. Rebuild the top end and cooling system swapped wheels and cut up the bumper. Went to Johnson valley for Thanksgiving. "Wheeled" all the scenic routes.
November 2019
I didnt like how low the transfer case hung down so I build a skid plate. Yes I jig-sawed all the plates out.
Shortly after it developed death wobble. So I replaced the track bar with a trailforged one and pieces together some new steering using gm tie rod ends.
Took it to our local rock pile and with open diffs and bumping it I broke my first axle shaft
This is when I found out that the WJ dana30 is wider than the xj/zj dana30. I didn't do any research before buying this jeep. So it really sucked to find out that only two companies made chromoly axles shafts and both were over $1k. Now way I putting that kind of money into a Dana 30 so I went to my local junkyard and got a replacement plus spare front and rear axle shafts.
Went to koh and bombed ever wash like the razer fags. Drove over a rock and posed with my buddies j-truck.
