Time to start documenting all the mods I have started making on the new jeep build, jeep is to be used mainly for towing an offroad forward fold camper trailer but also needs to be able to go most places my brothers comp truck goes (not to compete just to get the same area for support).
Whats it came with:
ARB front and rear airlockers
4.88 Nitro front and rear Pinion and Rings
Chromoly front and rear axles
USA axle tube seals
2.5" exhaust
Rear adjustable track bar
Front adjustable track bar
Modified ARB front Bar
home made rear bar
Chinese winch
Rubicon Express 4.5" Super flex SA kit
ARB Compressor
7" LED light bar
Set of BFGoodrich 35's
Bushwacker 6" flares
Uniden UH400 UHF radio
A lot of dodgy wiring
What has been done so far:
Dual battery tray (side-by-side custom job)
Dual Optima yellow tops D34's
Jaycar 140A voltage sensitive dual battery solenoid
Redarc Towpro electric brake controller
3 row Aluminum Radiator with Trans cooler (LHD converted to RHD)
Dual 12" electric fans
Hyline offroad tube step rocker panels
Crown HD steering system
What is sitting waiting to be done (or paid for and on order):
LUK clutch kit and flywheel

Dual Lightforce 100W 240 Blitz spotties with amber filters
Genright crawler enduro 95ltr fuel tank
Teraflex front swaybar quick disconnects
Steinjager rear HD sway bar kit with quick disconnects
Firestone rear airbags
Dual Air Zenith OB2 compressors (100% duty cycle at 200psi)
Dual 9ltr air tanks
Silicon hoses all round
Rugged Ridge hood lift support kit
Still looking at the following:
- Turbo kit (
yes, yes I know, but I want it for towing on the highway)
- Vented Hood
- Decent winch
- bikini top (ute style)
- Android head unit with fold out screen (eonon)
- Digital air pressure gauges and airbag controller (bling bling)
- ICOM IC-450 UHF radio
- Superchips trail dash tuner (mainly want this for monitoring)
- Rear adjustable HD track bar (can't seem to find one, the one I have is probably fine but would still like to replace it)
- Rear armour panels and flush mount round tail lights
- Jerry can holders for rear bar
Nothing a generous dosage of money hasn't fixed, now I just have to add the equally generous amount of time to get it all fitted......
