Yep I should drive one one day...
All Ive done with any of them in the last 3 11/2 years is wash, transport, store and buy extras for the damn things.
Dont even drive the things and all 3 are still costing me $$$$$$$$$!

Nice TJ BTW Richo.

Yeah thanks, Wayne did all the hard work, I'm just finishing it off.
Have a CCDA spec cage and 3.0 2 speed Atlas lined up too. At this stage it has nowhere to carry the spare, but the CCDA cage has a tyre mount on the rear stays; either that, or if I retain the standard cage will look at getting a rear bar with tyre carrier.

The Atlas will go in sooner or later to replace the hack and tap standard transfer.

Also a led lightbar is on the cards too for night wheeling, the HID's etc are good but need a better spread of light.

Otherwise, just bit and peices to be fixed as posted earlier. And wheel the snot out of it.

TJ looks great!
Curious as to what you did when you removed the air-con compressor. Did you replace it with a pulley and bracket from a non air-con TJ?

Air con clutch was siezed when I got it, had shorted serp belt on it already and air con was bypassed. I reckon it would be from a non air model.
