Warren. Going up already eh?

**cj4a nz** · 10-10-2016

the last jeep was on 32" tyres I got to get this close to that

finding the time is still an issue
Wife painting the kitchen, I'm working on the caravan for going away with the jeep in 2 weeks time, and trying to get the jeep to what I want it to be .......
keep watching this space

**4.3LXJ** · 10-10-2016

Sounds like you are going to be putting in late nights Waren

**cantab27** · 10-10-2016

bigger oil cooler if towing slick .......van should be right but still

**cj4a nz** · 10-11-2016

was on the plan's may have to check this week do have a cooler sitting here (for the ute)
may end up elsewhere ..........

Looks like a pretty decent deal you got yourself there, Warren.. Even though it's a ZJ, still look forward to seeing buildup of it..

Cheers Bluedragon436

It sound's like the bull bar I have bought for it is off an XJ so that has to be close .......

Got most of the roof lining glued backon tonight have left the edges till tomorrow night as I want to be able to get the lining to stick to the curve, hope the glue I am using will hold

Clean ZJ! Red too!! Will look great with a little lift and bigger tires

ok no pic's yet ...............
roof lining back in all other bits back in have the roof console ready to put up but the wiring for the lights are different colour

and can't work them out ....yet
it has been vacuumed out and even horror been washed

with soapy water and a brush ................................

the bits on order for quadratc aren't in stock slightly pissed but

happens
as for the front bar it looks like getting harder the more I look at it not only removal of the air bags and sensors etc. now the seatbelts need changed from the pretension one to the old fashion rocker ones

may be a turfor may be the go ...... but where's the fun in that

am using to tow the caravan back to camp this weekend and may be allowed a little play where we stay

**4.3LXJ** · 10-18-2016

Really getting in to this eh Warren?

**cj4a nz** · 10-19-2016

well it aint much good being shiny all the time, or sitting waiting to be fixed like the last one

**cantab27** · 10-19-2016

I would take it back .....

**cj4a nz** · 11-01-2016

well she drew first blood last night a little oops getting the spring out.

after having a look I think she may be lifted ?

anyone know the stock height to the guard mines 810mm on average, have found 165cm to the roof bit hard to measure as she sits

**cj4a nz** · 11-29-2016

ok so the roof console is done not 100% happy but it can be revisited if required

the lift is on hold not sure which way I will go, and don't like spring clamps any more

the front bumper came off tonite it's a bit different than I expected

time
am thinking replicate the left hand recovery point and bolt/ weld the winch plate to that but would like a top mounting point to stop any downward flex

suggestions

and have started collecting bit's for the rear bar / tyre carrier
