Re: 95 ZJ Where is the engine ground strap located?
Consider the fact that the ZJ is built on an integrated chassis.
There is no frame, per se. So when you ground to the body, that's as
good as you are going to get. My '93 ZJ brings the engine grounds to
a point on the body near the battery. That's also where I bring my
radio equipment grounds.
