Horses for courses... and with that said nice choice! I had the diesel 300C for a week and despite my ineptitude at parking the thing I started thinking crazy like "maybe 300C for my daily.." anyway I really enjoyed it from a day to day perspective so I can only imagine how good the SRT8 is!

---

This week on the JK front, not much...
- After weeks or months I finally got the "custom" mounting brackets for the rear bar re-drilled and spent 2+hrs stuffing around trying to mount/ file the holes/try mount... anyway holes are still a couple of mm out so i will buy a decent file on the weekend and get the damn thing fitted once and for all!.
Also noticed the way the Mopar rear bar is welded looks rough as guts..
- Had a call from the freight forwards requiring details for the invoice line items to clear my delivery with customs, woohoo not long now
- Ordered more little bits set to arrive early next week


Cheers,
B.

The new rims look great Mal.Very good choice,even if they are still shiny shiny I really like the black limited edition Mickey Thompson alloys that have just been released in the states.If they ever get over here I think I would have to seriously think about a set The LoD rear bar finishes your JK off nicely too.You must be stoked

Default New draw system for my Jk Part 2

Still have a while to go before finishing but now built complete frame and will now only make one large draw with divider.
Reason are: Quicker, Cheaper and will gain more storage from one draw.
Still have draw to go and then cladding.
Then I need to add all the goodies such as compressor, water storage and re-install Sub Woofer.

Again Will keep uploading updates as I go.
If anyone has any bright ideas I will try and amalgamate them in.
Will leave credit on site.
