JEEP Wrangler

I was invited to go off roading in one of these near Bordon Army tank training facility in Hants. My old boss had one circa 2005 so probably not as capable as a new one. All went well and it was great fun until we bogged down in a water trough and got stuck :)

Luckily a couple of Landrovers were there to pull us out.

I would love a Landy but unfortunately they are out of my price bracket :surrender:

Tackling the front today, which is a bit more involved. A few extra parts ordered as well, the rear heavy duty track bar and some rear brake line brackets which should be here next week. I'm also going to replace the rear brake lines, too. 

 

It's unbelievably easy to work on these cars, I'm so enjoying this! :lol: 

 

I'm now debating a supercharger...

Those bushes look huge or you have tiny hands? Not sure if there is a saying for that? It's only a small kerb surly you don't need to go this far to get into the driveway?

Different playground, same hobby, cars :lol:

Absolutely! I have had my 190mph+ fun :D time for a different sort ;)

 

Always liked the Jeeps, something about being able to take the roof off and hose down the inside to wash it..... just seems simple
