Sorry for the slow replies guys, Generator at work decided it wanted to catch on fire and I been a busy boy pulling it apart. I think it might be an o2 sensor as it only does it when its cold, and for maybe 500 meters drive down the road. Once that stage is over its fine. I think the o2 sensors have ...

I didn't think the 4l engines had egr valves?

Hi peoples. my 97 Wrangler has start to form a problem. not all the time, but enough to worry me it, after starting up will idle rough, followed by starting to drive it having to push the foot further and further down to get it to move. Followed by a pop under the bonnet, then its all fine for the ...

Hi Guys, I have a 97 TJ wrangler with im pretty sure standard rims on it, I was wondering if anyone knows what the standard offset is, as i want to order some new rims so my tires stop rubbing on things. I cant find anything relating to this via searches, so if this thread has already been made ...

I'm trying to get into the cozy club wheelers. But its proving harder than expected. The require me to go out with them twice before I can join, but they hardly ever seem to go out. At least judging from their emails that I'm part of.

Thanks for the reply Mr wopass, but i was sort of looking for something a smidge more offroady than a gravel road.

Hi everyone, I was wondering since Thompsons is poked currently, if anyone knew of some nice easy tracks like thompsons around Hamilton that could be done on a 2 inch lifted Jeep wrangler with 32" tires. I was hoping to take my mate out tomorrow or Friday and since I'll be a solo vehicle I dont ...

Does anyone know whats happening?

Its Thompsons open yet, or still closed?

It stops the recovery gear from rolling around, and was somewhere sturdy to put the highlift... Not a bad idea. I put my jack here. Just cut some 50x50(i think) stainless box section, drilled a couple holes in the bottom and drilled a hole in the top poked a stainless bolt through and welded it in ...

Was just hoping some people might have some cool simple things they have done that might give other people some ideas or such.

Also made this winch plate, because I couldnt find a made one that would fit what I had. Just had to design it and send a drawing in to J P Marshals in Hamilton with measurements, hole diameters and such, and they laser cut some 6mm plate for me, then i just had to mill some spaces, weld them on ...

After snapping my door handle, and ordering a replacement one only for that to snap not even half pull because of poor design, i decided to make my own slightly more robust ones, just have to make the shaft now and shell be good to go, one for each side. Total cost so far: Free http://i233 ...

From just small paint jobs to home made bumpers. What are things you have personally made for your Jeep?

How rough are the tracks? Do you know?

Is there actual tracks in there or is it just drive around making your own type thing?

I seen a few clubs going that way when I been at the gun range out there.

Decent truck being a mighty Wrangler with 2inch lift, 32" muds, swaybar disconnects, dented bullbar? If so, keep me informed via pm if you remember, because ill most likely forget. First time I went up there was a stock TJ with All Terrains. Mind you that was a few years ago though. It doesn't have ...

I never done maratoto before, I thought it was a car beating track.
But I'd be keen to tag along for an xmass trip if you guys would let me.

I would have said top of thompsons with that nice view of katikati/ocean. Assuming its open for xmass/new years after that slip. As for your parts, id never order off a jeep dealer, their prices are ridiculously jacked. The most I use them for is getting the part numbers as a reference to go by then ...

Yeah I know they dont handle too well on road without one. Im just gunna get the wof and leave it in the garage untill my parts get here. That way I dont have to put the rego back on hold if the parts are to far away. And definatly wasnt going to take it to VTNZ, but since they are the strictest ...

Thanks mr pete. Might have to get dad to ring a few wof places and see. Since I work on a dam in the middle of nowhere currently, it becomes a bit hard to contact people.

Is it illegal to have no front sway bar? I broke mine last time I was at woodhill, My jeeps rego is coming off hold soon and my replacement parts have not yet arrived, so I was wondering if i could just remove it to get it back road legal until they get here. I tried ringing LTSA but they had no ...

I have 2 inch polly spaces, And when I get the money I will be changing them for a spring and shock lift kit. I just dont like the look of these poly spaces.... something just doesnt feel right, like its a job half done or something, thats just me though.

I'd be interested if I sold my wrangler first.

But I have not yet started trying to sell it. So unless you were keen on a straight swap for the truck and trailer for my Jeep, I'll have to wait.

I just got one of these, took all of 30 minz to install while I was stopping on and off txting and facebooking, just picked the power up from behind the ciggy lighter with some splicing crimp thingies. http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/radio-equipment/commercial/auction-751359697.htm

Sweet, Ill pm you.

Just orderd me a new winch cable and uhf radio to try be a little more prepared

Honestly mate if there's 2 of yas just go there and do it. It's only as hard as you make it and the boys on patrol are on call I got no problem with driving to my ability, specially with someone to pull me backwards if needed. But it's more the getting lost exploring side I'm worried about. Also ...
