Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ · 1993–1998
The First Grand Cherokee.
Unibody, Quadra-Coil all-around, solid Dana 30 up front, and a choice of 4.0L straight-six or 5.2/5.9L Magnum V8. The ZJ flew under the radar for years — cheap, fast on the road, and capable on the trail. The 5.9L Limited still moves like a hot rod.
