Re: Project Bodge
Looks like you've spent a few quid there.
Think I'm also going to have to "see what all the fuss is about" at some point.
Need to get my moneys worth out of my ironmans first tho.
Looking good.

Re: Project Bodge
Was that kit imported for you, or is there someone in this country selling rocky road bits?ferris wrote:Here's the kit i bought to fit the YJ's, it's the JPeater kit from rockyroad. It looks like a pretty good kit, the only real problems i'v found with it so far is it's designed for a samurai, so i'v had to modify a couple of the brackets to fit. Also all the bolts they sent me are in imperial sizes . Now i just need to finnish painting it all, source some suitable shocks, and bang it all on the SJ.
Re: Project Bodge
I ordered it direct from rockyroad. I found their service to be quite good, despite the many bad reviews. Althogh the postage was quite expencive and then there was the import tax on top.

Re: Project Bodge
Had a good go at getting the yj's on today. Got the back ones done, and got half way through getting one of the front ones on berfore i got board and gave up. Should be able to get them finnished tomorrow if all go's well.
Also discovered my petrol tank has a hole in it and is leaking. Glad i spoted it before i got the grider out.
