MuddyZJ's Mud Pit

Welcome to the "Mud Pit". My little corner of the internet world. Here, I have dedicated this site to the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited/ZJ I purchased in December of 1997. It's been love ever since.


 

Here, I will show you the build up of my ZJ. I have a few write ups of some of the mods I have completed. Including my current TeraFlex lift and York on-board air set-up. Look around and enjoy.
 
 
 

GRAND SLAM WEST
Grand Slam West is a semi-organized trail ride strictly for Grand Cherokee owners. Started in 1998 with 4 ZJ owners in attendance. I have made it to GSW in 99 and 2000. This event was held in beautiful Moab, Utah.


 
 

After making GSW 1999, I made some big improvements to my 93 ZJ. In 1999, I had an OME 1" spring and shock lift with a 2" Teraflez Budget Boost. I also had 31" Mud King MT's on A.R.E. black steel rims. I also had my on-board video system set-up to record all the action off-road.

For 2000, I had gone to a full TeraFlex S3Z lift with the Budget Boost. Upgraded the shocks to longer Rancho RS9000 shocks with the in-cab controller. With the new lift, I could easily fit 32" Bridgestone Dueller MT's on 96 Laredo 5 spoke rims. I replaced my Olympic rocker skids with some heavy duty skids I made. The metal is about 2.5 times thicker then the Olympic set. I had made an antenna bracket that fits behind my rear license plate. The Dana 35C now has a Trac-Loc installed for added traction. I have my on-board air set-up installed but, didn't have the compressors clutched wired up yet. Up front I now have an ARB Bull Bar which holds my Warn HS9500 electric winch. And to spin the tires a little easier, I had 4.56 gears installed.

I made ALOT of changes/improvements to my ZJ. She did great in Moab this year (2000). Money well spent.
 
 

Remember, real Jeeps are BUILT,
not bought!

Update on my medical condition...new Cat Scan, see the results. I think I will be ok.
