Hunty's Jeep JK Extreme

It was a pleasure to help out where I could. My biceps were killing me on Monday after carrying your big camera. Can you can get a light weight camera for me to use on the next outing.. it was hard work. lol

So I finally got around to buying a decent Sand Flag!

I didnt want to spend the cash! - who does?

Take a look at my first brilliant idea! - I got some electrical conduit........
it stood up nice and straight in my driveway - I thought it was stiff enough! to do the job...... and then when I got out of my heap to take a pic I realised how pathetic my sand flag was!!!! - pic of silver Nissan

I was on stockton beach late one arvo trying rescue a disco with my new and improved fishing rod sand flag (the photo doesnt show the orange triangle i had on top) and nearly got taken out by a Quad bike just b4 sunset - it was very close - the quad bike whilst in the air and about to land after jumping off the top of a steep dune hit my drivers side mirror with its back wheel! - ouch! - gratuitous photo of wife and kids b4 they all had growth spurts - all my 4 kids look down on the Mrs now LoL pic of white Nissan.

So I bought the ridgy didge lightning stick from TJM Parramatta hooked it up to my parking lights and now when im on the dunes at night you can see me coming for miles

I highly recommend a lit sand flag - not an extravagance or luxury but a must have safety item

I took the picture just before sunset and turned on my parking lights, well being a total dumb @ss I left the lights on - which for those of you with JK's know the computer will turn them off just before the battery gets too flat to start the Jeep.

The Mrs goes to work at 8am this morning and yells out "your lights are still ON!" - thats 14 hours or so since I turned them on - so I immediately think that my JK computer has failed to shut them down and I will need a Jump start.

Wrong!..... the Jeep started 1st go and sounded like it always does - I guess the extra big battery I put in was well worth it!

cheers Hunty

This is where it all began for me

Round 2 more lift because the 35' All terrain's rubbed a tad
new custom front bar (prezzie from my beautiful Wife)
tyres went through the wash and shrunk to 33' MTZ in preparation for engineering.
Stick on flares to ward away evil sprits lol

Put the hard top into storage don't plan to use it again but am keeping just in case I change my mind or get an inner city apartment with non secure parking.

Changed my bull bars mounting arrangement and gained a few more inches of frontal clearance - set the bar behind the sub frame mounts as opposed to in front of them.

Bought some bar doors from Wooders - they give an excellent view of the trails while wheelin - some of the best money I have ever spent on my heap!

Grabbed a bikini top of ebay $50 keep my cr@p white boy skin from melting! lol

Sway bar disconnects, front shock relocation brackets to stop the shocks rubbing at full flex and reinforced the front axel C's - my heap looks like I had the front axel pressed to gain more negative camber - it seems to have stopped bending now!
Jammed 4 cans of coopers (I can't beleive its not beer lol) fake beer under my heap to prove that it is actually lifted! lol - still looks too low to me.

I trawled the net to find a good place to mount my ARB Compressor and I have seen some really creative uses of space including under the bonnet, in behind the rear tail light, under the floor near the fuel pump and under the drivers or passenger seat, I am quite surprised just how HOT the pump gets - I would say the heat was extreme - I certainly cannot touch the pump after only filling 1x 33' mtz from 12 - 32psi - given this crazy amount of heat the ARB pump generates I rulled out under the bonnet and in behind the rear tail light and perhaps even under the seats! - plus the real-estate inside my 2dr is very expensive and i do not wish to use the under seat area for a compressor plus I would worry about the heat that would build up and maybe cause a fire!

So after much searching I decided to use the space inside my spare tyre!
here's the write up I did.
1. - install 40amp auto circuit breaker close to the battery
2. - remove spare wheel
3. - run cables in behind rear door trim
4. - install 40amp relay in behind 3rd brake light
5. - install on off switch
6. - Mount compressor
7. - Connect all wires and reinstall spare wheel
Enjoy using your compressor with lots of natural airflow!
Cheers Hunty
