My '95 5.2 without skids, towing, hooks...totally unladen w/30s is pretty spunky. Except the freaking Hayden severe-duty clutch fan (engine brake) dragging her down.
The other '95 ZJ, the 5.9 swap, was a beast when it was like that. Had exhaust and efan too. Now that it has hundreds of lbs of weight added and bigger tires, it's a real slug.

Profit?
I just had both axles rebuilt. Rear with Detroit Locker and front with Truetrac. And 4.56. I'll see how long it takes to snap a D35 axleshaft.

sometimes it drives fine, sometimes, it drives bad. I haven't had time to look at it until maybe this weekend.
I have a pretty good guy I'm gonna have to get to look at it I guess.

yep 
Expedition style abuse, not too bad.
Drove for 120,000 miles on my last D35, but it had a Truetrac and Yukon shafts. Hoping the G2 chromoly shafts hold w/31s or 32s.

My offroad adventures have been getting milder and milder with age. I thought about an 8.8 swap, too much hassle right now and my buggy would be down for awhile during the best time of the year. If I start snapping axles, I'll just go back to a Truetrac in the rear probably.
mcadtjeep...you can have the cat tested, they drill a small hole after the cat and use a meter...takes all of 5 minutes

Gives me hope. Although my G2s are 27-spline and 35% stronger than stock, the 30-spline is only 10% stronger than the 27-spline.
So the internet tells me.
No, it wouldn't. It was a beach RIG.
Then again, ANYTHING can last if you can drive worth a lick.
Gewgle morris mountain and Grey rock vids. Your turdy5 be like ah shit
ZJ with a 360 is a "niner".Sean's 360 ZJ is not a NINER. Neither are the ones you built back in 1972.
And we coined the term with those first ones. The 5.2 were "deuce" and the 5.9 were "niner". I'll have to dig up the pics of the stickers we had made for them as part of their graphics packages. Iaccoca loved the term. Had he still been there when the 5.9 was officially released it would have probably had a "niner" badge on it.
