Best place for Jeep bits in Melbourne??

[Priest]

Hey guys,
I'm heading over to Melbourne next weekend and I was just wondering where the best place is for Jeep accessories etc...
Cos there's nowhere in Tassie, and none of the dealers have a clue about 4WDs let alone a Jeep... :roll:
Cheers...
(I just want to find out about extending the lift on my XJ higher... :wink: )

[Jonesy]

Talk to Tony at USA 4x4 hes been pretty good to me in the past shipping stuff down here also with info and help :D

[Priest]

Cheers for that... :wink:
I thought I would take the opportunity to actually talk to someone who knows what they're talking about...

(One of the guys at our friendly ARB outlet in hobart didn't know what IPF Headlight inserts were...) :?

Sigh

[coxy]

this forum is not for slagging off suppliers, we would be more than happy to work on an XJ. In fact we have done many lifts on XJ's and any jeep deserves to be lifted. Yes we drive TJ's and CJ's but that's only our choice. We would be more than happy to help you out with your lift. You call yourself a jeep suporter Crossflow, well if you go around bad mouthing workshops then you will be left with a broken jeep and no one to fix it. :evil:

[sir_camel]

I know of 1 or 2 XJ's that USA4x4 have worked on and would suggest them for sure.

[Dave'n'Wen]

If it's an XJ I'd be using Poly 4x4


If they ever return your email or phone calls! :evil:

Settle down.

I was simply pointing out that USA 4x4 tend to specalise with TJ's and he might be better off going to someone else with an XJ for lifting.

I found Procomp4x4 in Ringwood to be useful and reasonbly priced
(they lifted my XJ)

Anybody know where to go in Brisbane for new/used parts for TJ's.

[djsteve]

USA 4X4 lifted my jeep 4.5", even though it was done shortly before I bought it I would say they have done a great job, Has got fantastic road manners, and is awesome off the road. I definately wouldn't over look these guys, they know their stuff.

[BlackCat]

I can personally vouch for Tony's shop. He knows his stuff and they deliver.

In Brisbane, Hammonds are good people from my experience, too. I can also vouch for the ARB people at Capalaba. Very friendly and efficient, though they don't have the range of Jeep bits that Hammonds do.

[TW.]

please pop in to our shop, turn right off the ferry and follow the beach to mordialloc. let us know when your coming so I canmake sure I'm in.

thanks for those recommendations guys, weve been doing what we do for over 14yrs now and were still here so we must be doing something rite with these vehicles. we get many brand newies straight from dealers to lift and there not meant to do it according to the warranty but there prepared to let us do it because we get it rite, unlike some others!!

over the years we have developed a 3.5"/4" XJ lift that runs 9000's, discos etc, etc and runs a 32 with the rite wheel and some rubbish removal. it usually doesnt require a SYE either but its always a good idea. weve done quite a few of the forums guys XJ's and never had a complaint.

the only problem you will have priesty is were usually 3+ weeks booked, and easter isnt helping, any one planning to pop in and get anything done needs to make contact way before then.

crossy, dude, we have repaired, serviced, lifted, rodded jeeps from MB's to the latest gay jays and everything in between. we advise to ARB, WARN, TERAFLEX, RANCHO, BESTOP, COOPER and MICKEY T and work direct for DCJ. etc.

there is a jeep club (MJOC) that had its very first meet at my place too (with ozjeeper ross and I forming it that day). I assure you between our head mech travis and my self we have over 30 yrs of playing round with these rigs, given you run a 04 what do you base your "sigh" on buddy? :0= maybe a moo might be more in order, espessially the nest time I have to tow you home!

Gay Jays?

I'm with you Crossflow - he's a loose canon that just can't get it into his head that offending owners just isn't the way to do business. KJ's aren't my choice of vehicle, but I don't go hanging crap on them - and I don't even have to depend on plenty of KJ owners coming into my store to do business.

[Ben]

I thought he was referring to TJs with the gay jeep tag... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Plenty of lads around town drive TJs (and there was a nice black one in Queer as Folk) :0=

[polly]

whats 'queer as folk'? :lol:

[Mark Steene]

Speaking of Easter - is USA4x4 open on the Saturday?

I was thinking of dropping in.

[TW.]

dude, it's like a joke mate, like meant to be funny? well unless of course you are gay and drive one then it would cut a bit close to the bone! bone, get it, another joke!!! ha, I crack my self up. ( another joke...)

its like calling WJ's Wobbely Jeeps, thats a joke too that I didnt make up either and had nothing to do with the design feature that gives them that name aswell.

I think some people even call my jeep a Toy Jeep. that doesnt amuse me but I'm not going to cry about that much.

I love jeeps, all jeeps, even ones like yours and I can hang as much "crap" on them as I like, they cant hear me, there inanimate machines, its the owners that start sooking when they break down and aren't under warranty anymore!

as for the loose cannon line, wansn't that from your favorite movie- top gun! its still my favorite ice man! toughen up princess. :mrgreen:

[cherrykee]

Jeezus guys whats with the agro and tit-for-tat slagging, lets all get into the quadrangle and punch on after school....relax already.

I have tried both USA 4x4 and another comparable"Jeep specialist", initially I was surprised
with the cost difference(labour) between the two, USA 4x4 being on the higher side.
But I have to say with the slightly higher cost comes peace of mind, and a job done right the first time.
I have already mentioned the other mob and I wont again, but I can just say Priest
that if you goto USa 4x4 you wont have to PRAY that bits dont fall of thr rig on the trail....boom boom

Oh. I get it now. Your just a misunderstood comedian.

Funny as.

[TW.]

......a fart in an elevator! and not bad at making jeeps go good too!

once again, thanks for the reccomendations guys, and please dont see this as a slagg'n match, all I was doing was having a laugh! after all the motto of life is fun, thats why I have a jeep!

I'm with you Crossflow - he's a loose canon that just can't get it into his head that offending owners just isn't the way to do business.

Hi Chrispy.

I'm not going to get into another one with TW over this. All I did was suggested another supplier and mentioned USA 4x4 specialised on TJ's and CJ's, Coxy got a tad upset about that and flamed me, but that's ok I guess, given the last time around, maybe they thought I was being shitty at USA 4x4 which I genuinly wasn't.

What I should have done is just suggested Poly or JBitz and left USA 4x4 out of it completely, so my fault for stiring the pot even though it wasn't intentional.

I didn't really know Tony that well the last time we had a spat but have met him face to face a couple of times since then and I get where he is coming from although I might not agree with it.

He did me a big favour on a club trip when the wifes TJ started over heating badly, he could have just told me to get lost, could have laughed in my face and let someone else sort it out, but he didn't.

He stuck a snatch strap on the car and towed me about 10k's out of the forest to somewhere that I could attend to the car.

I owe him for that not so much because he gave me a tow, at the end of the day anyone in the club would have done the same, but I owe him for just burying the crap and getting on with life.

I was as much out of order last time around as TW was, but that was then, not going to go down that path again.

I'll just wind me neck in and not take stuff too serious as far as TW goes in the future, he says a lot of stuff that can raise shackles, but I'm not sure he's half as bad a bloke as he wants us to believe.

LOL!! "as bad a bloke as he wants us to believe" - you're probably right.

[djsteve]

settle down boys, What ever happened to a sense of humour and bit of harmless ribbing??

[TW.]

there is always room for harmless ribbing, espessially when your talking with a bunch of crew your fairly familiar with I always thought. and we cant pay out on any other vehicle brands on this forum since there arent any so the Gay-Jays cop it first as far as I'm concerned.

guys, please dont take anything I write too seriously guys, well unless its on a technical issue that is re jps. and rest assuered I will always help any one out on the trail if they need a hand.

and ben, they should have had a yella one in QAF for the right affect, black jeeps are too tough to be gay!
