DoogyRev Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Since some of you asked for a few more pics, managed to get a break in the rain . . . . No had a chance to go for a jolly yet, but seems sturdy, well built. The big mud tyres so far have decent traction in the wet. Next weekend will be the snow test since the mountains are open for boarding :drive: Looking forward to the summer with roof and doors off. Other than cruise control and zircon, not other mod cons, which suits me . . . less to go wrong This also brings us up to a 25.3 ltr Family 2 Quote
Humpy Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Nice Jim, should keep you out of mischief Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Nice Jim, should keep you in plenty of mischief Fixed that for you Quote
GMballistic Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Really do like it but have to be honest, ....that front grill looks like a giant cheese grater. Need's bull bars I think to hide it and to stop the grizzly bears, moose and wolves from damaging your headlights of course whilst your off roading. Quote

I know what you mean, at least it was not the full fake chrome package The winch should hide most of the grille when I get one, and perhaps a lift kit and new wheels Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 The chrome surrounds also come out, so may also plasti-dip them Quote
GMballistic Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Ooooh. Now a winch will be cool. Make sure you get a good one. You may find this forum useful; http://m.jeepscanada.com/showthread.php?t=13999&page=3 Quote
Stutopia Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Don't forget a big spot lamp and a gun rack, also a CB radio. You know the steering wheel is on the wrong side yeah? I know it's not built for speed and cornering, but is there any 'sport' there (except the badge)? Quote
bronzee Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Looks good and very practical Jim. Only one problem with it.............................................................................................................................. the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, thank you for pointing that out Its a good job the clutch and accelerator are the same way round Its actually pretty nippy considering the weight, and only tested the wet cornering so far, since its not stopped raining . . big tyres + lots of tread = Quote

You could loose a small animal in that tread. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 You could loose a small animal in that tread. Snow test this weekend . . . as long as all the snowboards and gear fit in Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 You could loose a small animal in that tread. Snow test this weekend . . . as long as all the snowboards and gear fit in I am sure it will, play safely Sent from the golf club... Quote
stanski Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Very nice mate my next 4x4 will be the 4 door version of that. In black of course. Enjoy it 1 Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Stan From everything I have read, don't bother with the Rubicon version . . over priced for the extras it has. cheaper to add the fancy wheels/lift kit and winch your self Quote
R35LEE Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Awesome Jeep, I have 3 in the family being a CJ5, CJ7 Golden eagle and a TJ Quote
stanski Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 No intention of getting one new far too expensive but they do look good. 370 first then when I am too old to get in and pit of it will get one of these! Haha Quote
