I guess the title says it all. Walked away from my YJ and walked into a ZJ. Its a Limited so it has every freaking bell and whistle available. It came with the Quadra-trac transfer case which I'll have to research.

Mods to come later.

i've got a 95 orvis. i have to agree that they are kicka$$. i think the only difference between limited and orvis are the colors, i have tow hooks, and maybe interior colors. they are awesome. nice choice

I've heard some people that are not too keen on the all-time 4WD, but then some love it. Congrats on the new purchase!

i've got the alltime 4x4. honestly, i don't know of anything wrong with it. the only problem might be that it makes it more rollover prone. i almost flipped mine when i turned to wide then had to jerk it to the left to avoid the street light. the back left tire came up i think and it scared the crap out of me. all-in-all, i like it.

Yeah, the all time gets annoying sometimes.
I love mine 95% of the time. There was one time that i was pulling a very fast u-turn trying to keep up with my crazy scoutmaster, and ended up getting to know the curb, folded the entire bead of my front passenger side wheel. It would sure be nice to be able to have 2wd, hard to do some of the fun dukes of hazzard style stuff with all time.

Well... my $3500.00 ZJ has started to grow...

$4545.00 Jasper complete motor (the original threw a rod on my trip from NC t PA with a car in tow)

$895.00 Tow dolly for the car I was towing (Uhaul wouldnt rent me a trailer due to the fact that my Chevelle was too old to be covered by there insurance)

$245.00 Idle Air Control Valve ($77.00 for the OBDII to find out why my rat wouldnt not idle, labor for a grease monkey to remove 2 screws and replace the IAC with an aftermarket part. Dealership didnt keep this thing in stock so they went to Advance Auto)

After making it halfway back to NC from PA I have developed an OIL leak which appears to be coming from the oil pan... which I have to fix by monday since I leave for Texas in the "sensible Grand Cherokee" that my wife suggested. Man, I shoulda kept my old beat up YJ, it was less work than this...
