TangMo, a '97 TJ Project

[shefy]

And just when you think that nothing else could possibly go wrong..........
pick the Jeep up from Wooders Saturday night, 200m out from the gate and smoke pouring out...... the A/C pully clutch has burnt out and the bearrings seized, head home with the aircon blasting.......
If it doesn't rain, it pours
Thank you Dave so much for all your help.

Shefy - what are you doing??
Time to upgrade to a Toyota!

Heretic......

After what I've been through the past 18 months, no way am I giving up now Steve.....

I would expect nothing less!

Front and rear air lockers are done as well as regearing to 4.56.
The transfer link has been replaced with a cable shifter (Novak) and the speedo fix has been done.
All that's left now is the panel damage from Wheeny Creek, doesn't look too good for the door though hopefuly it can be repaired.

After completing the off road features and having a run I'm back onto the touring side of the TJ.
Have decided to replace the two jerry cans on the tyre carrier arm with a three box set up to increase storage space.
The result was great, but the whole set up proved a bit too heavy.

So it's back to the workshop to replace the panels with carbon fibre sheets.

Still waiting on the Genrite rock sliders and the new billet mechanical door stop to replace the door straps, all the Wheeny Creek damage to the door and rocker panel has been fixed and a new five piece bonnet louver set is installed.

Who did the bonnet louver set for you ?

[shefy]

I got the louver set from wooders (Genrite), the smash repair shop in Narrabeen did it while it was in for the panel damage repair on the door.
They have cutting tools (oscillating) that allowed doing it without taking the bonnet off, no grinding sparks atc.
