Papa's got a brand new toy...

Post by ThysdJ »

After a long time looking, searching and scouring the landscape, I finally found what I was looking for. :thumbup: :thumbup:

The original SFA, the one that were used to copy the Land Rover and the Land Cruiser from.. The one that is still around since World War II. A Jeep Wrangler 4.0 Sport hailing all the way from 1997 with 150000 km's on the clock. It doesnt have a soft-top, bummer, but the hard top removes in seconds allowing topless fun in the dirt.

My Jeep got the "Matt Black" treatment sometime during its life, by somebody who didnt really know how to use a spray-gun, who left the paint job quite rough, but I am busy rectifying that with 1000 grit water paper and lots of patience. Years of neglect also took its toll, and there are 100's of little itty-bitty thingies that need to be fixed but I am almost halfway thru that as well. Now only the hazards and the hi-level brake light remains to be fixed, and the aircon needs a re-gas.

The biggest problem to be solved is a supposedly fault "chip", that causes the engine to run very rich and rough at times. That is a job for Carlo at Modjects to tackle in the new year, and I am ever hopeful that we'll sort that out pronto. Even in its current state with lots of unused fuel billowing out of the exhaust this baby runs like a dream. And speaking of exhausts, I think it needs a new better Powerflow unit if possible. Just so it can breathe easier...

Most of the expensive mods are already done, 4" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 33" tyres, snorkel, bonnet bra, off-road bumpers front and rear and even a DVD player with reverse camera. Coil springs all round makes for a nice comfy ride, and enables awesome axle articulation! I removed the rear bench seat turning it into a 2-seater convertible, with space for a fridhe and compressor behind the front seats.. I must say, it's been a while since I have been this excited about a new project.. Assemetterrefek it was last when I bought Kaspaas in 2005.....

We are going to enjoy the outdoors with this little machine.. I used to own a CJ7 in the 90's and that was an awesome machine too. Ever since I sold that CJ7 in 2000 I always said I would get a newer one.. now the time has come. :clap: :clap:

Now I also have the perfect platform for the Chevy V8 that is lying around at AEW gathering dust. But first I have to get some milage out of the 4.0 straight 6... Maybe next year or the year after, I am not really in a hurry for that to happen.. I need to get to know this one first, before we start chopping and changing..

Shaun, I listened at the die-hard Hilux ouens here in CT and they all tell me how much they also want one. Amazing!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Baie gelyk Thys.
Ek sal nie maklik 'n ander masjien as 'n Wrangler koop om te gaan gebruik op trails nie, hulle is werklik uitsonderlik daarvoor.

Shaun, jy is nogal reg. Mens raak nogal Lonely in a Jeep. Daar is nie veel plek daar binne behalwe vir die bestuurder, sy tandeborsel, 1 onderbroek en 'n tandestokkie nie.

Nee wat, as jy +-6 duim lig en AT's opsit, dan is dit alles net vir die show.

Wys jy is/wil/kan ernstig wees, dan gaan jy vir ten minste muds saam met al daai mods!

Kom ons kyk so daarna... vir die prys wat ek vir die Jeepie betaal het, gee ek nie regtig om watse tyres daar op is nie, winkeltrollie tyres sou ook gedoen het.... Die AT's het nog so 10000 km's se loop op, dan sal ek dit met "appropriate" tyres vervang. AT's werk baie goed in alle terreine, en ek dink eerder daar is baie ouens wat muds opsit, net vir show en looks, en dan die goed gebruik net om in die dorp rond te ry.

Die ouens wat my nou al lank ken sal weet ek sit nooit enigiets op my voertuie net vir die "mooilyk" faktor nie. Dit moet in die eerste plek bruikbaar en nodig wees, anders mors dit net spasie, vat dit gewig op en mors dit petrol.

Nou dat ons dit uitgesort het, slaap gerus, die MTR's is op pad... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Anyway.. die hele Jeep se growwe paintjob is nou glad geskuur... Dit het my meer as 'n dag besig gehou... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

All terains werk beter in sand, op teer(veral nat teer), en is sagter op die oor, maar muds is sekerlik op die kaarte vir upgrade, nog n V8 en n ander paar mods dan kan hy vir Luxter probeer aanvat :D:

n jeep is seker nog steeds die "ultimate" vir mods en die mees "desirable" toy, jy kan die mooiste "trick bits" van die rak af koop.

Nee wat my ou bra, ek wil julle nie so in die skande kom steek nie.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Did quite a bit on this outjie today. Removed those awful "knock-off" KC spotlights on the front that made the place look untidy, en fitted 2 real-deal gen-you-hine KC spotlights in their place. Also changed the wiring so that the KC's work together with the brights, with a toggle switch to switch them off completely. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Sorted out the hazards as well, it was a blown fuse. Now all the little niggles are sorted. Another nice-to-have will be the quick-disconnects for the front torsion bar.. I am working on a plan.. and the Jeep Wrangler Forum is full of good ideas.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Next week we need to sort out the electronics... and then.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I promise I'll take some pics tomorrow.. :shock: :shock:

Okay here goes..

I got the soft top from a guy on Gumtree. Everyhimg needed to fit it was there, except the 2 most important brackets that attach the roof-bows to the roll bar. Without those brackets it would be like pitching a tent without poles. Anyway, I got stuck in and made the 2 brackets based on pictures I got from the internet. They work.. but only just, and some modifications are required to get the roof to fit 100% correctly. But for now, it works and I am happy. It becomes a bit of a tug of war to get the side windows zipped in but with practice it gets easier. I need to lower the top brackets by about 10mm to make it easier. Alternatively I need to find the stock brackets, which would make life a LOT easier.. :twisted: :twisted:

When I got the Jeep there were 4 "knock-off" KC's on the front bumper. 1 with a broken lens and one with serious water damage. The other 2 were loose and pointed in any direction they wanted to depending on their mood. The spotlights also worked on a seperate switch and the wiring wasnt sufficient to operate 4 spotlights on the same wire.

So I ditched the lot, and fitted 2 proper KC's on proper wiring connected to the brights.

I adjusted the soft top brackets on the weekend. It fits much beter now, and there's a lot less flapping at speed. :thumbup: :thumbup:

She's going for a dyno session tomorrow to see if they can sort out her bronchitis. My neighbour came over on Saturday with all his machines and it seems all the sensors and stuff is working fine, but the fuel map is a bietjie deermekaar.. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

If she is sorted, we'll take her to our new training track at Wiesenhof on the weekend to see what she can do.. :twisted: :twisted:

Right... The news from the doctor is this.. One stoofed Lambda sensor means the fuel/air mixture reading for the ECU was screwy, thus the ECU started overfuelling at an alarming rate, causing lots of black smoke and lots of stuttering. Also a hole in the exhaust was diagnosed.

Tomorrow this will be fixed, the beast will be dyno'ed and hopefully I can take it out on the weekend. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am releived that the problem was a fairly small one to overcome... (profusely touching and knocking on wood) :yahoo: :yahoo:
