Hunty's Jeep JK Extreme

[reyzor]

Use the poly kit?

[Hunty]

As you can see from the video - My factory located after market Dampner got in the way - I have tried various relocation brackets - some excellent some not so - I probably should have gone with Poly b4 I welded stainless steel plates to my pan hard / track bar mounts.


Anyway.... I have relocated it top nice and high- it seems to be clear of everything, I spent a couple of hours at Wooders this arvo on the travel ramp putting it through its paces


It seems pretty good to drive I guess time will tell

I'd like to make another promo that features camping with your Jeep - I guess no one will have any decent HD footage so can I ask for you all to pm me or link me to any high quality stills that feature you & your Jeep camping.
I am just about to jump on a plane and will be away a week - pls send me you pix, I will start the promo as soon as you send them to me
cheers Hunty

I had a blast wheeling the Watto's today, I found the most extreme rock climb and got to stamp my number plate into the trail LoL

This is one the best things I have ever done to my JK


Its quite a technical mod, so be sure to have a few mates around who can help you, infact this one is so tricky you may even need to phone a friend.


I got mine from Wooders Garage for a lot less than they sell for on Ebay USA + Postage.


What a huge difference to driver & passenger comfort - I highly recommend this little mod , cheers Hunty

Simple but effective! I've had one in for about 18 months now. Was getting a bad back when I was driving and found it was because I was leaning over to rest my arm on the centre arm rest. Got one of these to raise it up and hey presto.....no more back ache.

Maaaaaate - wish I knew just how good they are when I bought my JK - all these years without the luxury D'oh - I am glad your back travels better now did you install with all the spaces and stuff that came with the kit - I didn't - couldn't figure out why they were needed?
cheers Hunty

It's the little luxuries that count, especially in a JK. I hear the new versions even have electric door mirrors! Whatever will they think of next?

To be honest it was that long ago that I can't remember (clearly not just the back that isn't working properly!). Definitely something that should be included as standard though as it's so much more comfortable. The only down side is it's weight. I'm always cautious when leaving the open the lid open as it feels like the extra weight of the armrest could quite easily rip the fixing screws out of the flimsy plastic that they are screwed in to. Not sure why they needed such a heavy duty metal bracket. Could have been far thinner metal or even plastic as there is no force applied to it. Still, at least you know it isn't going to break.

I pressed the remote lock button the other day an noticed that the drivers side front blinker repeater didn't flash (the blinker on the fender).


I am MAN, I have no need for the owners manual or instructions. LoL


I reached up under the fender pulled and twisted and viola the blinker came out easily - kinda the same as the blinker in the front grill twist and pull.


I had just the previous week changed a brake light globe and discovered that Jeep has made the globe part of the plastic plug requiring a more expensive bulb replacement.


So I now have the plug and globe free from my Jeep I went into Pacific spares at Waitara and asked if they had one - of course they didn't so I was just about to leave and go to Jeep when one of their genius's suggested I unplug the globe from the plastic housing plug - pitty I didn't think of that B4 I unplugged it from my Jeep - so I bought 2 @$2bux each and then What a PITA


Because it took me 30min to reconnect it - I felt like such a retard - how hard could it be to reconnect a simple 2 pin plug - I cleaned it checked it etc dozens of times and finally got it back together.


What have I learnt -
1. twist out the globe carrier
2. leave it connected
3. replace the glass globe
4. twist it back in
it should have taken 2 min tops from go to woe instead it took me over 30min
Globe cost = $2.00

had that same globe go a few months ago, Hunty. Fortunately, I did not know of the removable plug & just pulled the globe out. The brake globes are moulded into the base!? Bugger! (I'd call that time to update to LED tail lights! (But not the US ones...))
