Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well havn't seen any pictures yet but after recover from my 2nd only ever overseas tripn to Rarotonga
I have got motivated and removed the rear bumper and have fabricated some brackets up to hold the custom rear bar and swing away spare carrier,
but the design is still evolving :confused::confused::confused:
so will get some pic's after fixing the ride on mower ... that's another story :bang::bang::bang:
the redesign moves on at a snail pace but moving forward
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well stage 1 of the bar is on, waiting for pipes to be bent and make it a little more road legal..........:rolleyes:
was away last weekend in her and there was a strange grumbly noise under the bonnet at start up, turn the sounds up and it went away:indifferent0020:
I need to get the A/C going so off came the compressor and it could be the culprit waiting to see if my A/C man can fix it or get me a good price on a new one, or I may make up a bracket with a pulley, (have found XJ/ZJ made bracket but the don't fit the 1997?)and have window A/C, Window's down A/c On, up is Off :D:D
as for the air horns, they could be an item I am about to loose the have packed up again, sitting in the Garage :sad0147::sad0147:
and am contemplating build a flat roof rack for the shovel and hi lift as too tight to buy one at the moment, looking at another section then building again and selling our current place
till next time
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Warren, I don't know how much it would end up being, but compressors are fairly cheap here. Shipping might be a problem. Meanwhile, AC is what we call 4/80 AC here. Four windows down and 80 miles per hour :D
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
be a bearing on pulley for ac then re gas ............
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
nah bearing and clutch stuffed, my A/c man it talking $300.00 to fix a used one it $150.00 guess it's the 2nd hand route
pic's won't load they are too big, will post once I work out how to resize them
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well a bit beeing going on in my life since I posted here, rear bar 3/4 done and had a wof (road legal) with the front andd rear bar.

No workshop no Garage my tools miles away how am I going to stay sane ......... I know use the thing.

Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Good to hear from you Warren. Sounds good. You said section? In the US that means one square mile or 640 acres. That mean the same there?
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
haha nope 1/2 of what I currently have, it's 1000 sq meters, most new section mayne 600 sq but need a house of at least 250 sq mtrs,
less lawns is the best positive from this move
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Nothing like comparing how the kings english gets translated across the pond :D
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
well all moved ..... living in our 20 ft caravan on a 8 x 12 ish metre site in a caravan park.......
has taken a week to get internet sortand all mods will have to done by someone else as my tools further away.
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Hey Warren, you between houses or are you going to be living the life of a nomad?
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Steve just living in what you guys call a trailer park, hooked into water, drainage and power, as we are currently set up this van isn't that nomadish.
we have our other caravan set upon the new section with a garden shed full of "stuff" and my trailer but we have started the layout of the new house,going to have to find a concrete placer in north canterbury ............. me thinks.the jeep is currently a moveable shed but the quantity is slowly being reduced
Re: Oops I bought ....... a ZJ
Ah, movable shed. Here if you have a shed with wheels on it, you don't have to pay property taxes on it :D Hope you get it all sorted out soon
