Fitted my Arb covers, and flexed it on a fork.



Still needs a few more tweaks to max out the travel but it’s not too bad for what it is now.

Tested out all the new gear, found some issues but nothing too major.

Well over last two weeks I’ve been redoing the rear end... so installed rear bar, jigged my Hilift jack mount a little to mount on the swing out of bar... redid my rear camp lights, installed led strip for the rear tail gate area, and
replaced license plate light lol

Replaced the tensioner pulley on the side of the road today, I had a new one in the back of the Jeep as I suspected it was dodgy but hadn’t got around to it yet.


Here is what was left of the one that failed, there were some other bits of plastic shards that I collected too.


For anyone that has to do this the bolt holding the pulley on is a torx drive.
Shouldn’t be an issue for anyone who owns a jk though I guess.

Got shut down due to Covid.

Busy couple of weeks.

Daughters Kj Cherokee; Replace rear trailing arms, Boomerang [diff loactor], rear shocks, front disc pads & outer tie rod ends.

My Ranger ;Front drive shafts , upper & lower ball joints.

And finally my Wifes Jk Wrangler had its radiator replaced with a full aluminium unit. An easier job than I initally thought.

Only thing left to do is source a lift kit. Then fit it.

I used our regional public holiday to sit inside my Jeep in the rain with the dash taken apart .



I installed my Alpine Halo9 head unit and while I had the dash taken apart, replaced the 12v cigarette lighter with a Narva dual-USB socket. I had 12V power with a USB socket behind the dash that I used to power my VMS, which I reused to power a wireless charging pad duct taped to the bottom of the single din pocket below the head unit.

I also had to replace the video cable for the reverse camera because it came out from being tucked under the carpet and got pinched in the back seat's hinge.

I installed my new OBD2 HUD (the little screen above the instrument cluster), 2 Gopro handle bar mounts with selfie-stick phone holders and another mount with a Gopro sticky mount foot stuck to the UHF handset holder.

I finally installed my Rugged Ridge A-pillar switch pod for a switch to power a front camera and camping lights but those are projects for another day.

I also learnt how to take most of the dash apart after I dropped a bolt and washer down the dash the first time I put the Vector dash bar back on, which turned a 2 hour job into a 6 hour job .
