depends on your meaning of successful. If by successful you mean just completing it without the matter of placing then yes i believe if it was built right it could cross the finishline. But placing....without alot of work i dont think it would be advisable. but hey give it a try!

I want to do it lol but 2400 to enter and then getting down there wouldnt be cheap. What mods would make it at least finish . I'd think a beefed up cooling system would be a must.

a great set of tires and a spare, a upgraded suspension, good cooling system, good intake, exhaust, extra gas, extra parts, food , roll cage the list can go on depends how fast you want to do it.

You'll be successful running Baja 1000 on your ZJ if you have the cash to spend on it... As far as these type of modification is concerned, a pretty decent budget is what you'll need...

as for the lift how high would you go you couldnt go to high cause youd lose stability. And would a long arm kit be needed?

yeah defiantly if your rock crawling and you roll over its a slow roll you can get away with a mild cage with mild steel but if you going to baja and wreck at 75 defiantly want to do everything the right way.
