Yay!!

Today after a few days of screwing around waiting for the old owner to find the damn title I finally got my 'New' 97' ZJ!!

So far I just put in some 2 inch spacers and some 31inch Goodyear Wranglers but more mods to come.

I am totally stoked as it has plenty more power than the old XJ so I thought I'd show you the first pic of bringing her home!!

DarrenGreen

Custom exhaust by Simon Elanor and some other minor tweaks.

400 hp Somebody lied to you.

Powertrain Options and Availability
Initial Grand Cherokees came only with a 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, which developed 190 horsepower (185 in '96 and '97). A 220-horsepower V8 went into the Grand Wagoneer, introduced later in the 1993 model year. When that model was dropped in '94, it became optional for all 4WD Grand Cherokee models. Not until '97 did 2WD models get the V8. In 1998, Jeep introduced the limited-edition 5.9 Limited model. It held a 5.9-liter V6 that made 245 horsepower. Depending on model, Grand Cherokees might have any of three 4-wheel-drive systems; or 2-wheel drive, introduced during 1993. Torque output from the V8 grew from 285 to 300 pound-feet in 1995. Command-Trac disappeared after 1995.

Are you sure it's the tuned engine and not the stock 5.9?

Alfred W.

You know it's **** like this that really makes me wish I hadn't anything about my Jeep to start with!

I was excited to get it and to share some stories of it with you all but now I find for some f*****g reason I am on the ropes having to defend it.

A couple of retorts for you.

76cj-7, I don't advise you call my brother a liar till you've at least bothered to come over and look under the hood!

TJVigilante - Yes I am. I have the receipts to go with it.

But to all of those that cant simply be happy for someone else for a change thanks for the downer, I will doubt I will be checking this thread again, reading anything further on this site and certainly will not be considering membership!

Peace to all!

Part Number not found on JEGS site

No one is calling you a liar or your brother. You said you had a 400hp stock 5.9. Jeep did not have a 400 hp stock 5.9, that's all I was stating.

Until now nothing was said about an after market crate engine. So which is it a stock 5.9 245 hp or an after market 400 hp Crate?

Chase

Uhh maybe you should re-read the original post. He never said it was a stock engine he said his engine stock put out 390hp.
