!00,000km on the clock now - still absolutely love it!

clock spring.
oil pump - 2 new engines thanx to NO Oil pressure.
power steering pump.
Had a few leaks with the soft top,
Got a degree in JK DW and related suspension mods.
I have wheeled it almost every weekend on some pretty tough tracks!
It is my daily drive and I use it to get to and film in remote ares of OZ.
I tow boats, bikes, cars & caravans with it - great tow vehicle.
I get crap economy now thanx to my dumbass decision to gear it wrong - it came with 3.21's and I changed it to - 4.56's on 33's - I geared it for 35's but seen as i cant get it engineered on 35's - 33's will do fine, I get good crawling speed so 15l/100km I will put up with.
The Jeep is great to drive and very capable off road.
If the engine should falter even a tiny little incy wincy bit - Ill shoot it and replace it with a V8
