Thats great, cheers for that. I take it from the responses that other than the usual maintenance etc, that there were no major issues. That also agrees with what I found on the web which was little or no major issues. Intention would be to keep this one simple. Workload offroad would be reasonably l...

Hi team, Well I started with a Pajero, which we sold and bought a Wrangler, that is now for sale! Anyone interested: http://www.te.co.nz/te-motors/Cars/4WD-Vehicles/Jeep/Wrangler-Sport/adId-6106172.htm Now I want to go to a Mitsubishi Challenger. I like the size and the creature comforts. We are sor...

RJ

looking good!!! might have to claim it back later on, LOL

RJ

The back left hand corner looks better now its cleaned up. Bit of work and it will look like new.

RJ

Hi team, In my wisdom and right before Xmas I thought I would rebuild the rear brake drum setup on the TJ for Xmas. I removed all the bits and bobs and have located replacements for the broken parts etc, no problem. While I was cleaning everything out I noticed about 5mm play in the drivers side rea...

Always thought that second XJ - 1999 Sport looked good!

Hey Chops We started from a stock 96 wrangler. So far have put 2" Budget boost (coil spacers), got these off trademe, and a 1.25" body lift. Am currently running 31" Coopers on stock rims with a front quick disco. Am going to 15x8 rims with a -ve25mm offset and 33's. Hopefully there w...

Managed to attend both days. Truck is under repair from the last Jeep Club trip but caught a lift with xj on Saturday and popped out on Sunday to watch some of the fun day with the wife in her tonka toy. To those who organised this event, hats off. It was just great. The Sunday was even better and I...

RJ

new rear window put in today, plus new steering damper....and still waiting for parts ,this week some time i hope..and as usual on my shitter fix something and something else shits itself...drivers side window wont work now, no biggie just a pain .... All you can say is "its a jeep thing".

RJ

what is wrong for simex rod they are perfect for were you will be going with the jeep club just look at what all the other members in our club are running Not much I wouldn't imagine. Will see! I am still trying to track down some resonably priced rims, if you should hear of any. One hurdle at a ti...

RJ

Cool. I've contatced him to see if he has (or can get quickly) what I need in the hope that he has more than is listed on there. Hi Fen, I have been using Greg, via xj, for a while now. Great service and fast. Most stuff I have ordered has been delivered in a couple of days. I have checked out his ...

RJ

Note the 350 Chev in commie sitting in the driveway. Think his wife is away soon, might get a swap! LOL

RJ

Hi Fen I got mine at Dave Hadley Tyres in Lower Hutt. I got the impression they had 15x8 on the shelf the same as they had my 15x7 in the right fitment. Have emailed these guys to see if they can help. Also about 2-3 weeks ago the guy selling the ones in the link below had some with the right PCD an...

RJ

What's the right price for steelies? I got a set on the XJ last week for $90 each which I figured might not be cheap as chips but they were on the shelf and not outrageous. Mine are 15x7 and they only had silver, but I think the pricing was the same for 15x8 also and they'll easily paint black. The...

RJ

Definitely getting there, but do we ever reach "there" Well isn't that the question! I am really starting to think not, but hey its a jeep thing, so its ok! I guess like any motor sport you just keep replacing stuff or making it better, its just what you do. I was saying to Mark only yest...

RJ

Ok, have fitted the hard top, couple of minor issues to resolve, the first being how and where to store the soft top the second fitting a CB. Fitted an adjustable rear trac bar. Removed washers offsetting drivers side rear wheel. Body lift in and sorted. Reco'd radiator fitted and no leaks. Got some...

RJ

Hi Wayne, No panice with link. I see they are on TM etc. I tend to shop around for months and over research everything, xj will confirm this, then make a decision. Just pop a note in here once you have thrown your truck in the mud etc and let us know how you get on. Our TJ is currently sitting on th...

Hi Yeti,

I have been toying with the idea of KL71's in a 33" for our wrangler, thats if i can find some 15x8's. let us know how they go! fair to say they have had some great reviews.

Cheers

Mark, Aka "XJ" here fellas Dont have a harddrive at the mo, so using RJ's 'puter while mine is out for three weeks (good on ya dick smith!). Well Im supposed to be in RJ's garage helping him on his Jeep, but am having 'net withdrawls Fen: Try chamberlains in chch for your rear springs. I g...

RJ

Hi all, Managed to locate a hard top for our 1997 TJ and have fitted it. It is a little rough, but just needs some TLC. Anyway I would like to wire the window wiper and washer. Has anyone done this without using the factory wiring kit. Do you need to use the kit? Or alternatively has anyone got a ki...

RJ

Hi CanterburyZJ,

As xj's comments, I'm much the same. Looks like a great event though, hope you all have a good one. Quick query have any of your club members got any 15x8 steelies to fit a TJ that they might like to sell. If so flick me a PM

Cheers
Rod

Yea, it's not really ideal for me in Auckland. 99% of the time its being used on the road and I'd rather be driving a nice car. If I lived back in Queenstown however a trucked worked nicely down those ways. Selling it al...

Hi Mike,

Have indeed! Went to Pureora and been up Thomos a couple of times. Still ironing out a few issues but we are getting there. Hows it going down there? Seen any of the local 4WD spots yet?

Hi team, Long day with the Northern Zone Assoc meeting at Huntly, then straight back to xj's and pop in the 1.25" body lift from Rych. BL went in fine. All seemed to be ok, except have noticed a small hole in the radiator, will sort that out tomorrow. Other than that drives ok, changes in and o...

RJ

Interesting couple of weeks: Rear Track bar has bend in it, so waiting for enough budget from the minister of war and finance to get an adjustable in from Aus. No point in putting the other back in, will just wait. Managed to score a winch plate on TM for bugger all money. Appeared to be home made b...

Hi Well I decided I'm gunna pull that body lift out. Caused far too many troubles. Real stiff shifting between 4wd and low, sometimes pops outa 4wd or rides really rough, it clanks etc etc... Seems to be too much strain on the transfer case linkage even with the adapter, everything's all stretched. ...

RJ

Hi Rych, Just to let you know. I spent and hour under the beast last night trying to discover the rattle, knock etc. The only things I found were: 1. There is a metal tube that runs across the bottom of the firewall on the passenger side. It is about 5-6mm in diameter. Very small but was knocking ag...

RJ

Well I got the new bushes fitted but the truck is still making a terrible knocking sound and a squeek when it goes over bumps or it jolts. I have a feeling it could be something to do with the transfer case linkage but I'm not completely sure. My mechanic couldn't seem to figure it out but I'm taki...
