    Default Mohawk's Detonator Rubicon

    Hellooo SJC,

    My name's Nick (aka Mohawk), and my wife Pam and I are a couple Canadians, relatively new to Australia (landed 14 months ago).

    We look forward to seeing as much of Australia as we can, so last December we bought a Jeep!

    This being the Members' Rigs section, let's get to the topic at hand – Ours is a 2008 yellow SWB Rubicon, with a manual transmission and a few mods:
    - 2" OME lift
    - 33" Bighorn tyres
    - Smittybilt front & rear bars, and rock rails
    - Warn Xeon 10S Winch
    - Aftermarket exhaust system

    I'll post pics when I can take a moment to figure that out. We've also got an air compressor and a bunch of recovery gear.

    It's nearly due for a major servicing, so I'd be happy to hear about any recommended shops in central Sydney. I'll probably take it to a dealership for the first servicing, and less expensive places after that (unless recommended otherwise).

    I've also been considering our next upgrades... A stereo with bluetooth and a UHF radio are key for us (and club outings), a soft top, and eventually a snorkel so that we don't need to worry about water. This is sure to become an expensive habit

    We look forward to meeting everyone, but we're going to be in Cairns during the February meeting. Being novice jeepers, we're looking very forward to joining you on the trails too!

    Cheers,
    Nick

    Hey Nick,
    welcome to SJC .......mate I can recommend Hills 4x4, at Castle Hill. Just ask for Sam he can do all servicing and will fit aftermarket parts no problems at all.
    I hope go see out on the trails

    No need to change anything It'll do 90% of trails like that.

    Hills 4x4 is definitely very good!

    Depending on where central Sydney is for you, I'd also recommend

    A&J Automotive Repair Services in Blacktown.
    Unit 4 / 47 Third Avenue, Blacktown 2148. Phone 8678 9078.
    Email a-jautomotiverepairservices@outlook.com
    They specialise in all Jeeps and Chryslers. Can do diagnoses, services, suspension, pink slips...
    They are also Club Members.

    Thanks for the recommendations! We hail from Pyrmont. I'll check 'em out when we get back to town.

    Cheers!

    Well it's Abooot time we got some more Rubi's!!! LOL.

    Hill's 4x4 give club discount if you run their stickers! And A&J at Blacktown are excellent too. Both are club members.

    Cheers

    Found a 2014 Soft Top NIB for $150 on Gumtree a few weeks back. Finally found the time to fit it today. With some elbow grease and a little fiddling around, it fits like a charm.
