Default TJ: 2006 Project Wrangler

Hey guys,

Have previously had a nicely built 2006 TJ and when my Mum passed away inherited her stock as a rock 2006 TJ that was purchased new at the same time as my previous TJ.

Had it in my possession now for quite a few years now and after going through the decision-making process of whether to sell and get a newer Wrangler made the decision to modify and rebuild the TJ, just because.

I'm not aiming for the ultimate rock crawler, just a well rounded, more up to date all-rounder built with quality parts that I can use as my daily.

Have been putting out episodes of the build on YouTube for the last 12 months. Heres the latest.

With the Summer temperature hitting 40deg in Sydney lately, figured it was time for a bit of shade when the Bestop is folded back.

Found a solution to the worn bushings on the front seats.

Bought a pack of Dynamat and installed it to the front footwells and rear floor. Worked a treat and is a lot quieter inside already.

After not having the Air conditioning working for ages, purchased the LHD parts from Rockauto. New condenser and Compressor.

Sourced a recovered Cherokee WJ Steering wheel to replace my tatty OEM one.

I've purchased an Australian Military No. 5 Trailer to convert into an Overlanding setup. Pretty chuffed with what it's like already.
