Nice pic dxj. I'd say that's ranger bobs hill the gully on the right before Lost City, Freds Hill up the Putty road and it's a lot tougher.

Cmon XJers. Lets see some more pics. Not just links but lets post some images. :mrgreen:

[narly]

My pic's coming soon , just waiting for new personal plates & then I will give it a good tub. :D :lol: :P :roll:

[Buddha]

does someone want to let me know how to post pics straight up here.
They,re not hosted anywhere, just in my computer.
Just found my photo in the photo section, how do i now get it to this post?

[Dorzun]

Don't think you can, you'll need to put them onto something like a montypics site and link to them. (just getting my post's up)

[Pipeliner]

Cmon XJers. Lets see some more pics. Not just links but lets post some images. :mrgreen:

Sir Camel, I thought this thread was for CHEROKEE pics, not just XJ's!

I must be doing something wrong as only the link line comes up rather than the pix :(

[Bundy Bear]

You have to go into "Post Reply" below, and put the web address in then highlight your URL address then click on the "Img" button above.

Thats how I did it anyway.

[Grant]

All fixed and Pipeliner I am a 54 yr old XBiker and I love to get my XJ dirty
Like the KJ's too great to drive and driven the right way will negotiate most things that an XJ will

Thanks Sir C, THAT'S what I wanted, but I still can't work out how to post pics that way....!! :cry:
Need book..."Ausjeepoffroad For Dummies"!...hey, JimmyB, another Project?!! :roll:

[sir_camel]

you gotta click img, then post your link, then click img again to finish of the image. If thatr makes sense.

[XJBlackie]

:idea: Aaahh! Click "(img)" button, insert link, then "(img)"again...just like in the instruction line that I couldn't make sense of....doh!! :oops:
THANKS Camel, I'll give it a whirl! :)
But how do I install pics straight from my 'puter? Do I always have to post them to somewhere like Monty first (thought I was pretty smart working THAT one out!)before putting them up on the Chat Room? :?

[KayJay01]

The above piccys were submitted by JimmyB for me as i couldnt get anything working (dumbarse i am ). The top piccy is Mrs Kayjay navigating her way out of the bottom of Claw Gorge at Landcruiser Mountain Park and let me assure you that exit is a lot steeper and rougher than it looks in the pic. The other is all packed up and ready to head home with our palace on wheels behind the KJ. Both pics were taken on the AusJeep/SCJC weekend on 14th/15th June this year.
I actually sent Jimmy 4 pics to put up but others must have got lost????

[sir_camel]

Awesome to see KJ pics Walker. Any more?

[Walker]

OK, Just a couple more. Just had ARB bar and 2"lift fitted + BFG muddies. Unfortunately there is not much choice in wheels around for the KJ so I had to go for what I could find (YUK!)

Have tried posting mine, but it keeps telling me it is too big :-x

Would be :D if it was talking about something else :lol:

This is my baby

ARB bar, 2" lift, only all terrains at moment, but don't you love the lights 8)

[Walker]

This is my baby

ARB bar, 2" lift, only all terrains at moment, but don't you love the lights 8)

Diff locks comingLooks fantastic Miss KJ, those lights are something else.
What size tyre are on it 235/70 or 245/75

[Grant]

Now that is one nice KJ
Lights are bigger than mine
what wattage are they
I run 130 watt Zenon bulbs

[billsta]

they are lights?
thought they were satalites...

[miss kj]

:D

Thanks guys

245/70 BFG all terrains. Can't go any bigger at moment coz off-road they rub on the rear flares and pop the buttons out. Need to increase bump stops for bigger tyres. I know ARB have tech screwed their flares on but thats not for me. :?

Lightforce lights. 240XGTs. 100W xenon globes, but they are the brightest 100watters I've ever seen 8)

Filters that cover the lights give spread and spot and they come in a range of pretty colours...if you're into that sort of thing :roll:

Tough as .... couple of fellas have rolled their vehicles with lights on roof bars - damaged the roof but not the lights...

[Grant]

I know of a KJ owner that has a full set of custom rims and tyres (BFG Muds) that he will be selling when he gets his lifted (going up in rim size) but the ones he got custom made are great looking spoke rims

nice pics, when you go in water like that does water go into the car internally?
Sorry if its a dumb question.? :roll:

[Walker]

nice pics, when you go in water like that does water go into the car internally?
Sorry if its a dumb question.? :roll:On a river like this - No because it is not flowing that fast. Saturday I was in fast flowing rivers which were almost to bottom of windscreen (had a blind on) and I did get a small amount of water in

[gabe]

Cool walker nice to know.. With a stock standard cherokee would i be able to drive thru a river bank like that you went through?

[Walker]

I would not go anywhere offroad with a stock KJ. I am not very happy with jeep at the moment (see my post - Good, bad & ugly). There is not enough clearance and definately not enough underbody protection

[gabe]

Walker you wouldnt even take it on an easy 4wd track stock standard?i dont mean hardcore.

gabes

[Walker]

Easy is a very loose term. Your easy and my easy might be different but no, I personally wouldn't take it out without bash plates. It only takes 1 rock...$$$$

[MARXY]

Hey walker - where abouts was the King River crossing? Is that somewhere near Pinapple. We plan to cross up near Sandy Flat this weekend - rangers have said it is fine.... only door sill high??

[Walker]

That crossing was between pineapple falt and Kings hut.

I'll put in a pic now of the Macalster River we went through last Friday. It was even higher. I put on a tarp after this crossing as the river level was still going up and the filter was wet after going through it.

[Walker]

http://pics.montypics.com/walker/2003-11-11/1068542241_Macalaster_crossing.jpg

[MARXY]

awesome - The rangers at whitfield have said the King has droped considerably, but 2 weeks ago it moved their cruiser sideways! The Macalaster looks beautiful as always. I've camped at Paradise Valley, north of Glenmaggie since I was a toddler - great area of vic around Licola and Dargo

Hi guys, thought i'd finally post a pic

95 XJ limited with lots of extras:

[MARXY]

very nice Pete - we're similar, but I haven't managed the lockers yet and I am yet to take the discos off my ZJ on to my XJ. Winch bar in place, but no winch. It polishes well. I have a gold one, which is a great fourbie clour but can be a little dull as a show piece. Excuse my ignorance..... what's the floating axel?? Is that something else I can spend my money on! :mrgreen:

[polly]

Hi check this out, its the best info I could come up with.
also thread in general discussion, about suburban specials.


http://www.macromotive.com/shopping/goShopping.cfm?tag=3.5.484872.0.2771.0

will certainly cost me a packet but I'm sick of axle problems

[gabe]

Easy is a very loose term. Your easy and my easy might be different but no, I personally wouldn't take it out without bash plates. It only takes 1 rock...$$$$

How about on Fraser Island stock standard?

gabes :?:

[Walker]

Well at least there shouldnt be any rocks there. I have been over Fraser in a subaru so the jeep should be OK.

[polly]

Gabe,
stock KJ should have no problems what so ever on Frazer Island. I've seen heaps of soft roaders over there (subaru, honda CRV, X-Trail etc)

remember tyre pressure is the key to great sand driving. For heavily packed car I'd go for about 23psi and for light take it down to about 17psi.

have fun

[MARXY]

On the fraser issue, just remember the norhtern head (not often travelled by most) is very rocky. The thing on the inland tracks are the massive tree roots that just pop up.

[gabe]

ok cool thanks guys for your inputs. Im a little bit more confident now with the4wd capabilities that I'm thinking of doing..

What about cape york. Would i need to mod that up a little?

Thanks
Gabes

[polly]

Gabe, theres been standard vehicles going to the cape for years mate.
I'm sure a standard KJ would have no problems what so ever mechanically. Ultimately its up to you though, theres plenty of touring mods that would make life a lot easier. from duel batteries to larger fuel tanks and water holders.
Its really horses for courses, and you would be able to get by with no mods at all.

cheers

[Walker]

I noticed nobody has been posting pics.
We want pics!
we want pics!

Especially KJ pics.

I'll start off again. Here are some pics from last outing to Mt sterling

[Jimmyb]

We have fitted F/R Arb Airlockers , 4'' Super ride lift kit from Suburban in Sydney. Also fitted Terraflex Disco's, SYE Kit & D/C Tailshaft, UHF & 31.5 G/Y Wrangler MTR's on alloys for around town & a set of Mopar steelies for the rough stuff.

Being the only Jeep in the club we pride our selves on getting her were the 6&8'' lifted Tojo's & Nizmo's go, the XJ has suprised alot of people and we could not be happier with our choice of vehical...

[Walker]

Looking good! I can't wait for someone to design disco's for the KJ.

[billsta]

dont think there will be "Discos" for the KJ.. simply cant ahve too much angle on those CV's...

[Walker]

Someone in the lliberty club in the US have designed some already. They say they work well and reckon they will be in production by mid next year.

Even better, somone has already come up with a live axel replacement kit for the KJ, just waiting for it to be put into production.

[Jimmyb]

oh yeah forgot to put that in, its dubbo_xj's from here.

With no snorkel available for the KJ we had to improvise. This was named "The Big Blue Nappy" :D

Cheers. Use the roof rack heaps. It is an awsome rack, holds somethin like 500kg and i can lift it by myself!!

A little large though but it used to be on the *ducks* Maverick. Plus we chuck a mattress on top and have the best view at Sat Speedway.

Also for sleeping when camping, we have man eating lizards 'round here and they're sneaky buggers! :D

Welcome aboard Mafesto. What wheels are they? How long you had ya jeep.

[Mafesto]

Hi Sir Camel

I've had the Jeep now for a grand total of 10 days. Very different to driving the Suzuki Swift GTi I can tell you. It came with the rims, they are the American Racing brand, they look great. Taking it for its first official off road trip tomorrow and sunday, cant wait.

...Then i go sick :evil:

Well done buddah - after watching the heroes go up the wider ramp at Cleveland show today I can appreciate you're getting up that skinny telegraph pole. :) 8)

Some of those guys nearly drove off the edge of the ramps and I had no idea what was involved. Luckily the jeep guys had no probs. :wink:

Look'n good vern (sorry a favourite Far Side cartoon of mine)

Next time park it on flat ground so it looks bigger.

How are you finding the 32's??

[Walker]

32's are great. Been out wheelin twice in them and you don't hit anything (which is not normal for a KJ :lol: ). There's is a little bit of rubbing on full flex, but I am not going to fix that till the new rims arrive as they have different bacspacing.

[Dorzun]

Are you getting any rubbing on road at full lock?

My coopers seem to be biting at the springs in tight basement turns etc.

Know I just got to figure out how to wear out a new set of coopers so I too can 32.

[Walker]

Yea, I did get a bit on full lock, but only the rear of the front gaurds.(on the plastic lining. I have adjusted bump stops on the sterring.
I now have to do a 32 point U turn but no rubbing :lol:

There is no way I would have got 32's on without the extra lift I got by doing the cervis lift, it gives almost an extra .75" up front

[Walker]

Nice. What size lift and tyres?

[polly]

3" procomp lift at the mo, but am going to need to go up again.

running 31" simex centipede MT.

[sir_camel]

Whats the details on those rims mate? Price and where from? Look the goods

[polly]

TX1 got em from Northcoast 4x4, cost me $160 each. Have a load rating of 1400kg, where stock is something like 800kg.............. looks good and are damn tough

[Walker]

whats a 3" procomp lift worth? I have a mate who wants to lift his XJ. Also would you get 32's under their?

[sir_camel]

TX1 got em from Northcoast 4x4, cost me $160 each. Have a load rating of 1400kg, where stock is something like 800kg.............. looks good and are damn tough

15x7 or 8? any idea on offset?

[polly]

cost me about $1300 (i think)...twas a while ago............ and No way you fitten 32" tyres with that lift. I scrubbing a bit and need to go up a little as it is with 31's. I'm thinking of longer shackles on the rear and space up the front to match with either longer springs or spacers..

[polly]

Sir camel, I'm not sure of the correct offset but they stick out about 1" more than standard, and mine are 15x7

[sir_camel]

cheers polly

[Bogged]

32's would be a tough fit in the later model xj.. I have 4.5 and 31 mtr's (Thanks Camel) and they rub on the lower arm and rear wheel well. Spacers sort that out, But 32's... thought about it,, but i think it's too tight. You'd have to trim a fair bit!

[Steve F]

Just went to a touch over 3 inches in the back and spot on 3 in the front. Had to do it while my fiancee was out wedding dress shopping for the day as she didn't want it lifted anymore. Luckily she hasnt noticed although when the tail gate is open in the garage it clears the garage door by about 5mm, if it touched she'd notice so I think this is as high as it's going ;)

Still need to lengthen the rear bump stops a little and also the front as a spacer went in. Surprisingly the Standard shocks are not far off the length required so Gojeeps shock extension mod will be next until I get the cash for a new set.

Where you heading down to Crosslands yesterday arvo top take the pics when I saw you?????

[Steve F]

Yep, actually was taking it for a spin to confirm no vibes and thought that I hadn't been down there for a while so may as well. It was also where I took my first non-lifted pics 14months ago so thought it would be interesting to compare, if I can find them :)

Your KJ looks bloody big on the road now Brad dont know how I almost missed it!!

Cheers

[Bogged]

Steve.. how do you find the spare carrier? Does it block the view? Can it handle the load without bending the mounts? How is it mounted? Where from etc...:D

[Steve F]

Hi Bogged,

I'm real happy with the tyre carrier. The only thing you have to be carefull of is that it is open far enough before you open the tailgate. Doesn't block the view out the back, you can see the top of the tyre but doesn't have too much of an affect, I'll get a pic out of the rear window tonight if I remember. Mine will take up to a 31, it's got a 30 on at the moment. You do notice it moving a little but it's certainly solid. There is a plate inside the bumper bar that mounts to the chassis, it also has a support that goes down to the tow bar mount, if you have a towbar it still mounts apparently.

I've done the Flinders and the corrugations out to Cameron Corner with it and also Fraser Island with no problems or signs of fatigue. I even had a work light on a stand mounted on it for the Flinders/Cameron Corner, the stand for the worklight split from the continual vibration but the carrier was fine :)

I got it from Chris at Consoles and Carriers on 0407 319 784 or 03 9704 7673 http://www.consolesandcarriers.com.au A great guy to deal with and he will customize them for specific tyre sizes.

Cheers
Steve

[Dorzun]

I'd be really interested to check out one or two of the side trails down there, a friend who lives locally is a NPWS dude so he may be able to let us in. Also know of a good little articulation checking place in Hornsby Heights.

Crikes, come to think of it. If we still had our house I'd have about 800sqm's of rocks to play on and a pool to sit and drink beers in too watch it from. Wonder if the ownbers will sell it back to me?

I need to see mine from a distance, there's a new renegade in the building at work and each time I drive past or park near it (have not had the chance to park alongside yet) or even see another one. I don't feel mine's all that different.

But there's a brighter side to that. Got talking to Heather about sometrips we could do and she was all for it. I then had to say we did not have a vehicle set up for them so result was I have to spend what is left from my tax (which should be a fair amount) on more mods. What a shame huh.

[Steve F]

Hmmm sounds like a local day should be arranged, or at least a few hours :) I noticed all the tracks down there have been blocked off now, even 12 months ago there were a few open ones but not anymore. Be good to get in thier legally and have an explore though.

Cheers
Steve

hi guys went wheelin on the weekend

love this pic

[Okie Terry]

Sweet ride mate. Nice flex. Looks like a great washout. Is the rest of the trail like that? Anymore pics?

[polly]

Hey Terry check these out

hey terry, your back door is missing?!!!!
better go back and find it or cats might sleep is ya jeep...

[Okie Terry]

hey terry, your back door is missing?!!!!
better go back and find it or cats might sleep is ya jeep...Thanks for seeing that, billsta. I thought it was kinda drafty in there. :mrgreen:

Actually, it serves two purposes: flow-through ventilation and it's easier on the rear axle.

I took it off once and never put it back on, although it does have quick-pull pins.

Only drawback is the fumes. :)-(:

[billsta]

yeah it might get cold, but im more worry about cat pissing in the car..
happened once. it took weeks for the smell to dissapate

I took it off once and never put it back on, although it does have quick-pull pins.

so how much does ya uni body flex??
i always thought the rear door do a bit "holding" the XJ in shape..
is that a factor that you like to ignor?

[Okie Terry]

At the risk of getting into yet another debate on hinged panels providing structural integrity, I don't get any extra flex with it or my doors off.

True, sometimes you can get the XJ flexed up and not be able to close the rear hatch, however the hatch isn't keeping the body from flexing, it is merely flexing along with the unibody.

Yes, any one of these panels will help keep the top from crushing in a rollover, but that is a different dynamic at play.

[Grant]

Love your setup it makes me Jealous

[billsta]

nar i dont start debates...
i know the uni body flexes and i had trouble closing doors sometime...
jsut wanted to know if there is any noticable body flex thats all....

as far as im concern.... when my window cracks, i've gone too far...

[Okie Terry]

as far as im concern.... when my window cracks, i've gone too far...
Too true.

The only window I REALLY need is the windshield, y'know, to keep the bugs outta my teeth.

[Jaffas]

I finally got me a Jeep! [you may recognise this one TW...]
Time to find some tracks to get out on...

[Slartibartfast]

Noobie to this forum. Spent the week end in the Victorian High Plains. Pic is near Talbotville.[/url]

[hammer TJ]

Okie Terry, some great shots the background of the pics look as good as your rig :mrgreen:

[blackbetty]

ok, here's my baby.

[nzxj]

blackbetty,

Very impressed with your pics. I notice you have non-standard flares on the front. Are they TJ flares on backwards or what have you used?

[Okie Terry]

Okie Terry, some great shots the background of the pics look as good as your rig :mrgreen:Gotta love the canyons of Moab, and the La Sal Mountains are a beautiful backdrop.

blackbetty,

nzxj, (?!)

They are the original flares. I think they changed in about 99. The original front bumper bar had end caps that met up with the flares.

Al.

Looking good Polly

Cheers
Steve

[Bogged]

nice!!!

What did you end up using to lift it?

[polly]

rear
3" leaf pack and 2.5 add a leaf

front
4" TJ coils and spaced to 5"...... right side has a couple of extra small spacers, must be the extra battery
longer shocks

all pro-comp

[kyro]

looks great mate

[Buddha]

Polly, are you going to make the leap to 33s?

[polly]

not till i upgrade a fair bit more....

i want Warn front hubs and axles
rear disc brakes
diff guards and rock rails

then i'll think about it..... I've got 4.1 ratios.... and would need 4.56 with the 33's and lots of guard trimming and flares....

lots of stuff just to get the pumkin another inch off the ground

[Jimmyb]

looking real good there pete!!

still rekon you need some wrangler flares :)

[Tonto]

SA finally got mud ... no need to photoshop front number plate for once :)

[Jaffas]

rear
3" leaf pack and 2.5 add a leaf

front
4" TJ coils and spaced to 5"...... right side has a couple of extra small spacers, must be the extra battery

The battery or the driver!!


Looking sweet mate ... how does it drive 5" up? any vibes with the SYE? Although I have no plans to take mine higher at the moment (currently 3" with 31's), I was interested in your thoughts on how yours is going? Also where did you put your second battery?

[andy_n]

looks sweet Pete 8)

[polly]

second battery is under the hood mate......

theres a write up in here somewhere and my battery placement is the same as that.

i would have to say that the ride is a little harsher I think.... may be due to the new angle of the control arms.... I may have to get the RE control arm brackets in the future, to ease the ride.

otherwise I'm real happy, although having said that I havn't had it offroad yet..

[Steve F]

Hey Jaffas,

If you want ot look at a second battery install you're welcome to swing by and see mine sometime. PM if you're interested.

Cheers
Steve

I've finally worked out how to post pictures so here a few of my beast I bought back in April. It's pretty good as is but I'll be adding a roof rack soon for a trip to the Flinder in Oct/Nov. Can't wait.

Heifer Boy

[North Coast Wrangler]

found out today why the ride was harsher..... the truck went in for extractors and exhaust, and while fitting that Ithey found the upper control arm bushes were stuffed...... and after replacing them the ride is heaps better

[Tonto]

Great shots :D

how do you find it on-road at that lift height?

[polly]

The handling is great and no wobbles or bump steer at all, the only problem if you could call it one is that you seem to hit bumps harder... it may be due to the angle of the control arms???

I reckon its great and at this stage I'm real happy with it

cheers

Pete

[Jimmyb]

maybe you need differet control arms wink wink

Thanks JB :lol:

[NZREDXJ]

Just playing around on the ramp getting the new 32" Simex to fit, have done alot of trimming etc to get there but it will be well worth it, what do you think.

[sir_camel]

Looks awesome....wat suspension?

[Buddha]

This is one reason i suggest sliders.

[Buddha]

Up and over.

[overlander]

Yeah, NZREDXj, what size lift and width tyre/rim are you running. I'm about to get tyres...

[skullbones]

Looks awesome dude. More pics. we want more

[overlander]

here's one with the 33 muddies, before the saw comes out.... :)

[overlander]

another one.......grrrrr, bigger than 85kb.. how do i reduce it further without making it tiny....???

[Steve F]

Looks good Martin :) I'm starting to get envious of these 33's guys.

Cheers
Steve

[sir_camel]

we need more pics Martin!!!

[overlander]

u want pics Mark - i'll give u pics...!

no track bar adjustment yet so right front tyre still sticks out further and hits lower rear of guard when lifted less than 2 feet.. :lol: i'm getting the track bar sorted before i cut the guards i guess.
rear guards need some chopping too, at least lower corners before i can see what will happen on the top and inside...

[sir_camel]

Loooks great....especially with those wheels too.

[overlander]

thnx mate, btw whats the lo-down with your diff?

[sir_camel]

all sorted...details in Rocky TJ diff dilema thread.

[Bogged]

Hey kimberley.. what your saying is the Maverick/patrol roof rack fits the XJ?? Any mods to fit this or is it a basic "bolt on"?

[XJ 98]

Ok, been lurking a while and thought I might add a picture on. Problem is though they are all at home and this is the only one I have at work which is of course my screen saver :wink:

Taken at Double Island Point.

[polly]
