Hey Hunty,

are those reflections in the bodywork comped in? - they look a bit intense!
Reflection intensity generally falls off as the angle to the viewer tends to 90 degrees.
I just use an incidence shader.. haha

Cheers

Hi Mate
I took the picture on my nokia n96 on a whim - got board sitting in my Jeep waiting for the missus so i whipped out my 17'MacBook Pro and had some fun in Photoshop - Ive had heaps of comments on other jeep sites so I just decided to take some glamour shots with my 14meg Nikon - all i gotta decide is where
so Dave what software do you use / preffer!!!
now I gotta get back into ps and play some more

Uncharacteristically I drove through blinding rain to get to Alice Springs
the road now has a 130kph speed limit - last time I drove up from SA it was go as fast as you want! - so i drove @ 130kph for a while until I checked my l/100 ouch 25! so I slowed back down - i guess i cant do 130 with the roof top tent unless I tow a fuel tanker behind me! Edit - there were extreme head wind - 60+kph

just as I was leaving CP this morning I got real lucky and snapped the pic below - if you look closely you will see I was able to time the shot to get a really big rig in the background!

Hey
I got a good deal on the light bar - I planned on using it to build a platform I could film from -and then i got to thinking that it would look better with lights on it - bigmistake lol - long story short - i found 3 sets of 100w driving lights on special at repco for $27 pair - I wired them up and went out for a test drive - WOW what a difference it makes to have the lights up so high - I highly recommend it - it has to be seen to be appreciated - cheers hunty

The Mrs & I are off next week on a 8000km trek - will spend some time in central OZ and so decided to toss the rear seat and make some drawers.

A carpenter I am not! so I will not bore you with a dumbass how to. (especially as I have no idea anyway! LoL - lots of wood, screws and liquid nails!)

I will however point out a couple of "Jeep Thangs"

1. - the rear floor is not flat or level
2. - the rear seat mounts in the floor are not (in mine anyway) centered
3. - the tub, dont what else to call it (in mine anyway) is not square!

I got out a huge hammer to flatten the little metal tabs that the removable fiber/plastic storage cover slots into.

I have made a little access hole in order to utilise the small lower storage are.

Still to come (and I havent figured out the best way to do it yet) is some kind of Piano hinge on the front end - behind the driver and passenger seat to allow me to access the 2 large extra storage areas in front of the wheel arches.

Yes I made my drawers BIG! - i wanted to use all the available space in the back of my huge 2dr JK LoL - i didnt even use sliders because I wanted to maximise the space available for the drawers! - to ensure they slide I used 17mm 6 ply with the hard shinny finish and coated them with silicone!

I relocated the sub to behind the drivers seat - it fits in there comfortably and gives better bass in the front!

Covered it all in marine grey carpet and it looks like a bought 1!
cheers Hunty
