    First Jeep

    Cheers @Chris for moving the post Went to visit the Jeep yesterday at the mechanics. Lots of massive off road machines parked up. Made my Kia Sportage look tiny when next to a Nissan Patrol! Parts are being accumulated as we speak. Have ordered some LED headlights and 31*10.5 tyres so at...

    Help with rim choice

    Brand new from a parts dealer, although they have no website and mainly cover workshops rather than direct to consumer. Communication is mainly over Whatsapp. Sadly one of the better stockists here in Spain

    Help with rim choice

    Cheers all, the rims themselves around around $100 each, i think i'm going to leave them for now and either wait until i find some rims i really like or until i can justify spending a decent amount more on polished aluminium. Water ingress is unlikely as Spain gets very little rain each year...

    Help with rim choice

    Cheers guys. Although the split between the options doesn't help. I wanted more uniformity :p For confirmation and because i had no idea there was a difference between Chromed Steel and Polished Aluminium. For those that were pro shiney because the picture gives the impression of polished alu...

    Help with rim choice

    I've just bought a set of 31's as part of an upgrade after i crashed and figure it makes sense to stick them into the repair budget! The initial plan was to fit to the stock 5 spoke 15*7 rims, but the Jeep parts supplier here has a set of these Chrome ones available at a decent price. Buying...

    First Jeep

    Well, i was pretty damn awful at updating this it seems! Time for an almost 1 years later post and it's been eventful.... We left Spain for 3 months in June 23 to head back to the UK with the intention to sell the house and move back to Spain permenantly. As such i parked the car up at my...

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Well hopefully slowly getting there. I drove past the garage as since leaving it with the recovery guy i've had absolutely no update to say it's been delivered from either the recovery guy/garage! Upon turning on the industrial estate i knew i was in good hands. The grounds are absolutely...

    What size tires will fit a stock Wrangler TJ?

    Yeah, that works great. Wasn't sure if there were any weird offsets etc to consider. The dream would be to get new wheels, but i'm thinking i can save some cash initially. Would like slightly wider flares, but i believe the stock ones are 9cm, so maybe if i got the 12cm versions then it keeps...

    What size tires will fit a stock Wrangler TJ?

    If i was to swap from the stock wheels on 225/75/R15 tyres, and added 265/75/R15 tyres. Does anyone know how much the tyres would stick out of the fender flares? Here in Spain the tyres can't expand beyond the body, so i'm trying to work out which size flares i need to cover the tyres, but...

    Shipping Wrangler Doors to Paris, France

    I'm in the process of getting some bits shipped over from California to me in Spain. I've had a quote from Shiply where you upload the details of the package and people "bid" to provide the service. Not sure how cost prohibitive doors would be as they're going to be very bulky once you protect...

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Well, i spoke to the mechanic who suggested it should be ok to drive as long as it was close and i was careful. I figured i could tackle a few of the repairs myself and then get the garage to check it over afterwards. Good learning for me and saves some cash. On the way home (<5 miles) it...

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Mainly the bolts i need are the 2 screws in the 2 rear cupholders of the centre console. 2 of the screws holding the door pulls on 2 of these 3 of the ones you mention you don't have many of I think that's all i can really remember given i don't have the Jeep with me Yes that's the...

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Thanks trying to not lumber you with too much as i've always wanted the Bedrug stuff but that adds a lot of bulk/weight! I think just Bumper Sway bar Tailgate bar (inc brackets) No drill windscreen channel Hood latches I think that probably covers the main things that the guy here is...

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Have found someone who can ship the sway bar for $120, i imagine therefore that adding a few extras wouldn't increase that cost too much

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    Yeah, that wouldn't be an issue. Effectively i think i could use mine and my wifes ebay accounts so all you're having to do is ship a package to a centralised depot. Ebay might even be able to arrange collection so it's all covered on my side.

    Steering locked up on a roundabout

    @mrblaine If you're open to it. The Ebay route could be the cheapest route for shipping if i base it on the sale below which shows $100 shipping to Spain via the Global Shipping Programme...
