From Barn Find to Trail Beast - My '95 ZJ Story (Part 1)

Hey Trail Family!

Alex here, and boy do I have a story that'll resonate with anyone who's ever given a second-chance Jeep a new life!

Remember that feeling when you spot a diamond in the rough? That's exactly what happened when I found my '95 ZJ for just $500. Sure, she needed some love (and a transfer case), but something about her spoke to my soul.

Here's where the adventure began:

  • Started as a $500 rescue mission
  • Became our family's trusty daily driver
  • Turned into an epic build project
  • And now? She's transforming into something special

Why am I sharing this? Because every Jeep has a story, and watching this ZJ transform reminded me why I started JeepSkill - to help Jeepers protect and personalize their rides, no matter where they are in their journey.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll share all the nitty-gritty details of the build!

Keep it Wild, Alex

P.S. Got a rescue Jeep story of your own? Hit reply - I love hearing these tales! 🔧✨
