Sounds good Mr Wooders, I am working till 12 & will head up then.
I am looking at spacing my Air con condensor a few inches forward away from my radiator & or taking out my thermo fan & putting two Thermo fans infront of the condensor. Hmmmm
See you then guys
Eddy
I need to fix my dodad and whatsamacalitt see you there
I've got heaps to do, if the jeep is mobile I'll bring it up and work there :)
Cheers
Steve
Mr Wooders,
Any news on the rock sliders???
I'd like to install my Rubber Mats,,,Will they be in yet?
It's only one day, you might get the front in or maybe the rear but I doubt both. I've done it before if you need some assistance, I could work on the left while you do the right, the rights a bit harder as you have to get it around the peddles but other than that they are pretty much the same side to side ;)
Cheers
Steve
you guys are mad attempting to do such a complicated job like that, i can just see the disaster now, you'll get the side mixed up then ...................

And I thought Hunno was optimistic that we could convert wolfies old black XJ into a camper.
If we get bored we can also start on the Car Trailer build ;)
Thanks about the advice for my mats. I feel so relieved that I'll have professionals around , should we get there early just in case? what time will the shop be open?
So can you put me down to get ball joints replaced on toolbox day?
or is it too long/big job for this type of day?
chipper
Not if it is signed off by a suitably qualified engineer
Don't tell any one but I fitted the mats today under the secrecy of darkness and sourced them from a strange fellow type bootlegger that runs out of the Hornsby area, but keep it quiet. shhhhh!
ps he was very supportive with his instructions,
I'm telling!
Steve it wasn't this man was itAttachment 2086?
I would love to come along - put me down for 'stopping the oil leaks in the 360'.
What am I thinking, this is probably a bit too much to ask.
Technically speaking under current NSW RTA POS rules you need an engineers cert to change the radio station.
Would it be possible (time wise, etc) to put in a terraflex leveling kit or ~2" budget boost kit? ($180 and $320 kits @ dbor respectively)
mani, you are a scholar amongst gentlemen......
I just had a look at the kits u mentioned.... I think u will also need longer shocks there.... Can some one more qualified chime in because I think the stock shocks will become the limiting straps for the suspension............
U r better off asking Wooders for price on a decent 2" kit including atleast shocks, springs, extended bump stops, brake line relocation, control arm relocation brackets and disconnecting front sway bar links........ and probably put it on lay by........
Something like this

Probaby will be a bit cheaper for club members.......
Cheers

Mani, I'm blown away from your offer! Thank you :) I haven't got a kit as yet, only ideas lol - am looking fiercely though as the Toolbox day is the day after my bday so thought it would be amusing to say that the JK got high for my bday :P i'm effectively incarcerated Mon - Fri 8am - 6pm which makes researching this sort of stuff time constrained to say the least :/ and the budget is a massive consideration for me ATM, hence looking at the spacer lifts as opposed to the more comprehensive lifts - the limit is looking to be around 500 which is ordinary, but all I can really swing right now
Dand
It would be a great opportunity to come along and see what others have done on tool day (some good some not so good) before you spend any coin. With out a shadow of a doubt, if you go cheap it will not only cost you but annoy the hell out of you while you wheel on and off road. If it's worth doing it, It's worth doing right the first time. I'm happy to advise what I did that works for me. Others will do so as well.
If you budget is tight ( as many of us will agree) then it may be worth waiting and save just that little bit more.
Steve
No worries mate....I like finding something to do in my free days. Keeps me busy and I dont give headaches to my wife by fiddling inside the house. I was just thinking wether the stock shocks have that extra 2 inch of down travel to keep up with the changed height of the vehicle.........
Also some links here if u r interested in a second hand kit still in good order.....

I have built my Jeep with a lot of second hand components and if properly done can save you a few dollars.... I have second hand front bull bar, second hand rock rails, second hand bumper bra, second hand sway bar disconnects, second hand fuel tank skid plate, second hand evap canister etc....... If u talk with the seller and find out decent condition parts it wouldnt be hard to source a reasonable quality kit which will serve as a makeshift arrangement till u find the one that suits your needs.......
Cheers and happy Jeeping....
Mani
Ah I hate being impatient haha... I suppose that at least this will let me get out of debt a little bit more before I smash the living bejesus out of the credit card again haha
Mani - Thank you for the heads up! Have you done all of the work on your Jeep yourself? Looks bloody awesome :D
Yup mate.... Initial lift was installed by TJM as I had a friend working there.... After that everything has been done in my front yard with the exception of front uni joints and ball joints...... Actually a few jeeps have had their suspension etc done in my front yard......

This looks like the most complete budget boost I can find and with AEV there are no doubt about quality...... See if u can source it here......
Hi, I may pop in to see what all the fuss is about. I don't think anything needs fixing (yet) but I'm sure I'll learn something.
Dan, regardless of what way you go, yes it would ba\e an ideal task at the Tool Box Day, although I can also understand if you want to get it fitted sooner (in which case still rock up ;)).
OK so the Job List I have so far:
Chipper: Ball Joints
DanD: Lift kit (Maybe?)
DK: Change Fuel Pump
RedRubi: RockSliders (Maybe?)
ROK360: 360 Leaks (Maybe?)
sfedek: AC Mounts mods
Wolfe/Hunno: XJ Camper
Anyone else???
We should have room for at least 4 cars to be worked on concurrently.
Heck we could roll the fire hose out for anyone that wants Wolfe in a mankini to wash their ride.
ooooooh yeh Im in
