cheers Hunty





last weekend @ Jenolan state forrest - back down on 33's

[Hunty]

I had a blast today with my kids - let my "L" Plater son drive today and I got my heap on 2 wheels (again!) got so stuck that I couldnt even winch myself out forward!, had to use the winch to lower myself back down D'oh.
all I need to do now is buy a new Uni joint and some of those stupid plastic fender clips and voila my heap will look just like it did when I bought it NOT! lol

JK Fender gold plated clips

Hi Guyz
I have been slowly over the past 3 years beating up on my plastic fantastic fenders, almost everytime I go wheelin I rip & crunch & brake those little clips that hold em on.

My drivers side rear fender has been just hanging on with 3 or 4 out of 15 clips now for over a year and on the weekend I let my "L" Plater son do some of the wheelin and between him & I we finally tore it totally off.

I went to buy some of these little clips from my local Chrysler blokes and too my (and the spare parts guyz) utter dismay discovered that the list price on these little plastic clips is $11.78ea - I asked for 20 of them (before he figured out the price) as I wanted to replace all of them on the drivers rear and have a few spares that I could keep in my trail repair kit. Do the math for 20 clips;
$235.60c - There is now way in hell that I will pay that for what amounts to a simple bumper clip.

I walked across the road to Pacific spares (like repco) and asked if they stocked bumper clips - they did and I bought 18 for $4.75 tot saving = $230.85

I simply clipped them into my fender - had to do a bit of Mcgyvering lol - which amounted to placing a small piece of gaffa / 100mph tape to hold them exactly in place as I reinstalled the fender, I realise that so many of you could figure out far better ways to reinstall the fender but I am lazy and needed my heap back on the road ASAP as its my daily drive. it took me less than 2 min to bodge them back on and only $4.75 they feel like they are on solidly and have survived some pretty full on wheelin already - I hope this bodggy is useful Jeepers!

Hey Guyz
Thanx for all the kind words re my JK

Heres a new motorsport sensation - cable tie cam LoL well I secured my Iphone 4 to the high lift jack on the back of my JK in order to record the "New & Improved sound" that my JK makes without the factory muffler from Hell! so heres the video "Cable tie cam" it sounds like Im going fast but im not because its a JK LoL anyway enjoy the soundz
cheers Hunty

ps sorry for the rattling sound my loose High lift jack makes and the last few seconds of what sounds like my JK overrunning - its the padlock swinging that secures the high lift

lol nice video, jeep sounds great noticed it has a nice burble to it on decel..

P.S Did you look up that link for those clips... I found the invoice for when I bought mine I paid 30 australian dollars for 4 boxes of 10. so it worked out even less. maybe we can post up a group buy thing maybe get a heap more for less... Just a suggestion.
