anyways after having a wee look under it decided to redo the suspension a bit....
things were binding up and things were just tired under there..

new bump stops to go in , coils need sorting, new arms being made up, slightly longer than the old..






lots of little shit needs fixing under there...

spent a few hours on Thursday night on grinder but 99% of work is being done at ricks... http://www.4wdaccessories.co.nz/

still have axle seals ,rm seal in engine , tc seal to replace,,shit i can do
also have to look at some sort of bar work next and piss the hard top off,

will update new pics when i go in on Thursday,, love that grinder shit

Nice jeep

Nice truck, saw it on trade me and was going to have a look but someone beat me to it. probably not you though as it turned up on trade me again a few weeks later? Anyhow I had already bought mine by then so didn't have a look. Heard it was built by Sav at Nelson or at least he had something to do with it? He knows his Jeeps and is apparently quite a good guy with heaps of Jeep experience. Considered his red one in Nelson earlier last year but I wanted something road legal and tidy to use as a every day driver. Good luck with the tidy up and I look forward to seeing your Jeep sometime.
Cheers.

yep tis another one outta savs jeep stable....all mods are certed which is another reason i got it...just tired and well used under there...has been through another set of hands since sav sold it........came from auckland when i got it...has got some nice gear in / on it......

Jeez am I reading this correct? You are in Christchurch and I am in Whangarei. You bought your Jeep from Auckland and I got mine in Queenstown? We should have swapped notes and saved some travel each aye?

I guess being a hairdresser is the only way you get to run your fingers through hair eh lol lol lol lol lol

Keep the hardtop man, find somewhere to stash it, you'll regret selling it. They both have their time and place, and you'll kick yourself.

Looks awesome! Nice job so far
Just a question about the front bumper, is that a mini-stinger/pre-runner bar? Is something that comes out that far forward, would you get any issues when it comes to WOF time?

I had the same thoughts about ya bar leaning forward so much ...the WOF dude might not like it ...but does look good tho
