What have you done to your JK this week? 2.5M Views

I put in a clean air filter and while I had it out, replaced the leaking radiator.

Or was that the other way around?

Got rid of the couch and replaced it with an ARB bar (not impressed with fitment) and mopar tow kit.

Not strictly JK, but its for the JK.....been restoring an old box trailer I was given so I can use it for camping trips.
Its got JK wheels and tyres I picked up cheap off Ebay, same size as the ones on my JK.
LED lighting.....still got a few things to finish off. Got the rubber flares on to cover the tyres the other day.

Damn it LeighP I just finished doing up my box trailer was going to paint it in the dozer colour but talked myself out of it. After seeing the great job you have done and how good it looks now I am jealous and thinking is worth the pain of starting all over again. Well done.

Thanks very much. I went up to Bunnings to get some Epoxy paint and the guy there says they can tint it any colour I like included in the price....so I grab a couple of tint cards, wander outside and pick the one closest to the dozer on the JK.....lucky I've always liked orange. Two solid coats top and bottom.

What did you use to convert the hubs to fit the jk rims?

[LeighP]

Trailer had some crappy 4 stud 13" wheels on it, so that was never going to fly. I picked up a set of new 5 stud 4.5" (Ford) pattern hubs, then used some G2 adapter/spacers designed to allow TJ's to use JK wheels....ie, 4.5" PCD to 5" PCD. The spacers took up the extra offset of the JK wheels perfectly, and also spaced the wheel away from the hub bearings which would otherwise stop you from using JK wheels (or make you machine out the JK wheels and thereby making them useless on the Jeep).
I wouldn't use spacers on anything with a lot of weight in it, but this is a small box trailer that'll only be carrying a bit of camping gear.....can't see it'll be a problem.
