I've got one, pretty cool jeep...

Crazy power, but it has its quirks just as anything else out there..

Aluminum center rear 44 eats bearings
Big motor small hole = overheating issues
T-case tends to wear out and lock front and rear axles together...


My t-case locked the front/rear axles... took out the front d-shaft and now its just RWD... Will it ever smoke off the tires now:D


Swap the axles and t-case and you've got a hell of a grocery getter....

fun rigs, lots of power, suprising amount of aftermarket support. axles are probably the weakest link, but this is a problem easily remedied. screwy as any other zj unfortunately.
