Default West Aussie TJ Buildup

Howdy All...

Im probably a couple of months off completing my TJ - while Wooders finishes organising everything for me.

Thought I would start the thread anyway - I have some parts coming over next week probably and then the remainder should arrive just after Christmas.

This is my TJ currently;

2 ½" OME Lift
1" BL w/ MML
4.56 Ratios Front & Rear
ARB Air Lockers Front & Rear
32" Goodyear MTR's
Nth Degree High Clearance Skid Plate
Other bits and pieces (like snorkels, Radio's, CB and that sort of stuff.)


To Come:

Bestop R-A-T w/- Tinted Windows
5" TNT Customs Long Arm Kit
New Venture NV4500 Transmission
TBT Rear Bar w/- Tyre Carrier
TBT Flexie Tie Rod
35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws


I will post pictures and what not as i go along.


Picked up my 35's today (the full size spare should be here Wednesday next week) and am very impressed. The Mickey Thompsons were actually quite cheap (about the same price as my 32" MTR's). I shall grab some pictures later on when I can locate the camera (it has to be here somewhere).


Cheers.

I got the Mickey Thompsons for $340 a piece. Not too shabby - i expected to pay a stackload more.

I paid $320 for the MTR's i have on there now.

Hey Wallace,

good luck with the build. Cant wait to see plenty of pics.

Does your TNT long arm use its own t/c skid plate or are you sticking with the nth one that you have?

CN's, glad to see you didn't stay away too long. I have thought about selling my TJ before but I think I wouldn't last more than a week without it. Just too much fun to be had.
