Thanks for the answers. Looks like you got it all well planned.

I reckon most people here don't really appreciate the amount of work that goes into making something like Ian's rig.

Sure there are a few similarly modded jeeps around OZ, but 100% of the work on his TJ has been done by Ian and a few mates. All done in an open carport in his backyard.

Kiss ass?, maybe. But I'd just like to say well done mate. It's a fricken wild piece of gear that you're gonna give you a boner every time you wheel it.

Big call Jeep Grill Dude.....I reckon most people that read this thread regularly appreciate the work even numpty's such as yours truely....maybe the fact that I cant wield a spanner or welder or quite comprehend how he manages to conceive and fab the thing to me makes it even more cool.....the other thing I cant fathom is HTF all this is being done in Ippy - I thought Ippy was where vehicles went to get stripped....

thanks for the kind words guys... you need to keep me motovated..haha


i have worked this build in my mind over and over... and its changed a bit along the way... but it should be there soon and i an happy so far with how it is coming together..
i will start fabing the rear hoops this weekend and hopfully have the rear coilovers's tacket in place, i wont do the final burns until i put weight on it to see how it all sits.. if it was not so cold up in the carport i would brobley work nights... but ipswich get down around 0 deg this time of year... too fooking cold to be under a jeep!

Hey I just like the new Ideas that come up in these build threads, Just when you think you have seen everything there is to do with a TJ someone does a totally custom job that works 100% better then something you can pick up off the shelf. Keep it up Ian I might be stealing a couple of your Ideas to keep my build going.

btw... i am most excited by the King coilovers can't wait to get them fitted!!!! they are such a solid unit, the pictures dont do them justice..
