JK: Hunty's Jeep

This is where it all began for me

My Love for all things Jeep - 2000TJ

Then there was the "JK" complete with non matching antennae and factory issue park bench
Snapped this photo whilst covering the fires in Vic

Round 1 Wheels, tyres 35's and 3' Lift

[hunty]

Round 2 more lift because the 35' All terrain's rubbed a tad
new custom front bar (prezzie from my beautiful Wife)
tyres went through the wash and shrunk to 33' MTZ in preparation for engineering.
Stick on flares to ward away evil sprits lol

Put the hard top into storage don't plan to use it again but am keeping just in case I change my mind or get an inner city apartment with non secure parking.

Changed my bull bars mounting arrangement and gained a few more inches of frontal clearance - set the bar behind the sub frame mounts as opposed to in front of them.

Bought some bar doors from Wooders - they give an excellent view of the trails while wheelin - some of the best money I have ever spent on my heap!

Grabbed a bikini top of ebay $50 keep my cr@p white boy skin from melting! lol

[hunty]

Sway bar disconnects, front shock relocation brackets to stop the shocks rubbing at full flex and reinforced the front axel C's - my heap looks like I had the front axel pressed to gain more negative camber - it seems to have stopped bending now!
Jammed 4 cans of coopers (I can't beleive its not beer lol) fake beer under my heap to prove that it is actually lifted! lol - still looks too low to me.

I trawled the net to find a good place to mount my ARB Compressor and I have seen some really creative uses of space including under the bonnet, in behind the rear tail light, under the floor near the fuel pump and under the drivers or passenger seat, I am quite surprised just how HOT the pump gets - I would say the heat was extreme - I certainly cannot touch the pump after only filling 1x 33' mtz from 12 - 32psi - given this crazy amount of heat the ARB pump generates I rulled out under the bonnet and in behind the rear tail light and perhaps even under the seats! - plus the real-estate inside my 2dr is very expensive and i do not wish to use the under seat area for a compressor plus I would worry about the heat that would build up and maybe cause a fire!

So after much searching I decided to use the space inside my spare tyre!
here's the write up I did.
1. - install 40amp auto circuit breaker close to the battery
2. - remove spare wheel
3. - run cables in behind rear door trim
4. - install 40amp relay in behind 3rd brake light
5. - install on off switch
6. - Mount compressor
7. - Connect all wires and reinstall spare wheel
Enjoy using your compressor with lots of natural airflow!
Cheers Hunty
