Yip that was me.

Sup Josh, Im also having similar troubles finding parts for RHD. Do post up what you end up doing here....! I'm also based in Akl, also one of the very few that drive around with no doors...

bit late to the game here too. yet to get all the way down to Pouto. I'm keen for a next trip if one is happening. Will try be a little more active here!

I'm actually pretty keen to wrap mine in a Matt White. Kind of as a protective coating while wheeling. It really wouldn't be too hard, they are all flat surfaces! The only tricky parts being hinges. Much cheaper than a respray.

New shoes are amazing. Yet to put them to solid work but super happy. Defo need to lift, or at least get more wheel clearance now though.

While on a bit of an Easter roadtrip to the far far north on NZ..

Thanks. Aiming for the classic look, maybe with a baja type twist as I spend so much time up the beaches. Rims are from magwarehouse and cost my little finger. Tyres were a deal with beaurepairs, 3 and 1 free.

So, I caved in and got a tried and tested wheel tyre combo. 265/70r16 Duratracs on 16x8 mickeythompson classics. With stock ride height looks a lil tight but works fine so far.

I'm actually not sure. You'd think a decent tyre guy would refuse to mount these monsters what the rule. Either way, I knew these were crap when I bought the jeep. Will replace with some 31s ATs and I've a set of 33 muds to fall back on when I get a lift.

These came wit h the jeep when bought. Had a slight vibration coming on. Thought it might be mud or thrown a weight. But then on one trip up the mway it just decided to shred itself. Stayed inflated thanks to the steel belting. Now I'm tyre shopping. Fun times.

One thing I do know... don't run old tyres...

Yeah my dilemma is the distances I drive before wheeling... makes for plenty of highway time. And I do more driving on sand than mud so ATs are the likely go.

This threads great as I'm on the market for some ATs. And yes, ko2 and duratecs are far too pricey here. Interested to know what other tyre options people are running..?

Thanks. Actually my girlfriend took this shot. But it's kinda easy when surrounded by the natural beauty of NZ. This read really does have the best photos of jeeps and landscapes! Such epic wheeling to do over in the states! Sent from my HTC_0P6B using Tapatalk

All good. Yeah stock Sahara 4.0 auto with Dana 44 and Dana 30 combo. Needs New rubber and rims. Getting the softtop and a roof rack for the boards made. Then the deep hole of mods really starts. I'll start a build thread up soon. Sent from my HTC_0P6B using Tapatalk

No no, bought it locally. It was a new import from Japan. Decent condition had not been offloaded. That will change... Cannot wait for the top to arrive! Sent from my HTC_0P6B using Tapatalk

Nar as in a snap decision a week before xmas... Not much in Haast... but I toured the SI in my outback and itching to do it in the tj now! I have done a couple of trips sans roof n doors. Have a bowless softtop on the way atm so will be doing plenty more topless trips in the future! Sent from...

Thanks man. I'm on the Shore. So not tooo far away. Got the TJ in haste just days before Christmas. One shakedown trip to the beach later and we were packed to the roof for a new year trip round the Coromandel. You manage to get out in the jeep much over summer? Sent from my HTC_0P6B using...

This is the best jeep thread ever. The is top of the Coromandel peninsula in NZ. Everytime I'm up here were in the clouds looking down at the sunny bays below Sent from my HTC_0P6B using Tapatalk
