Got some 12mm marine ply and made a removable shelf for the JK this morning, with the seats out was able to get quite a bit stored in the back. Worked out really well, made it so the last part flips up so you put stuff behind the seats and get to it.

Last part to do now is paint it black, carpet the top and add tie down points and add a fridge slider later. The whole thing can be removed by tinting it sideways 45deg and pulling it out.

Threw on the first part of the Evo skid system i have had sitting on the floor of my office for weeks...

Bit of a pain to install & a some arse clentching when taking out the last bolts of the oil pan. As others have done i left the oil in and felt like the slightest touch would bring it down on my head

Ever since new the JK has got well very little TLC in the car care department. The best it ever got was mostly commercial car wash hose down, and scrubbing brush. Once every 6 months it would get a home wash with a sponge and chamois drying. My mentality its a bit like taking your gum boots to to get a shoe shine.

However, with my wheeling buddy trading in his defender for a BMW, I figured wheeling would become fairly infrequent affair. With that in mind I decided to give the JK some proper love. It was also a good excuse to use the hundred of dollars of car care product sitting around in garage and to buy a RO polisher from carcareproducts.com.au.

From the before photos you can clearly see the bush pin striping, some were quite deep and through the clear coat. I could never expect a concours finish given the harsh treatment the panels have had, but from the photos you can clearly see the improvement.

As its the first time I've use and RO polisher, I took it pretty gently with a clay 2 polishes and a wax.

0) Clay
1) medium cut
2) low cut
3) Carnuba wax.

Spent about 3 hours on the car, only managed to get about 1/3 of it done. I didn't have all the equipment (the proper masking tape) or time to mask off everything et etc. This was just a test bed to see how it was work taking and here are the results.

Now just have to see how long the wax and polish will last and stay looking like this. It park outside so gets its fair share of the elements. I'll finish off the rest of the car in the next few weeks and cust it back with a few more passes. My aim is to reduce the visibility of the scratches, as i think removing them completely would be impossible.

I'm pretty happy with the results for a first go, but with a bit more practice I reckon I could make it even better.
