Well on the weekend I finally go to drive on some rocks, only problem was I had stock gearing turning 34" swampers and a carb that didn't want to play. But it was fun, I want more.

I love em. I am still running SPUA with fender trimming and they fit beautifully I can air them down to about 2 or 3 psi without too much drama they are fine on the highway and are great in the mud

Don't have any more shots of the white LJ but I do have some shots of a LWB LJ with extended cab, Sidekick engine, auto, dual transfer cases on beadlock rims withh 33" MTRS

If you're interested in getting an LJ I would start looking in Canada first. They were imported there and they will already be setup for left hand drive whereas the Aussie ones are right hand drive and I reckon transport costs would be less.

What are people using for longer brake lines because in the first photo my brakel ine looks like a guitar string. Is there anything that is a straight swap in or do i need to get something made up?

That's because when Americans come through we hide them. The LJs and the hyperspace launch pads...yeah, that's the ticket.

RE: Grimbo on the rocks vs Moab pics- don't fret Grim, i thought yer pics were neat lookin':)


there's TONS of longer brake lines that are direct bolt on replacements. i believe mid '80's Honda Accord are pretty easy to source, among others.
do you have a "NAPA" equivalent down under?
i just estimated the length of lines i needed, and poked through a parts book until i found the right ones. since they're metric fittings, it was easier than dirt to just bolt them right up.
(speaking of which)- why don't you just lurk around under some Toyotas and find ones that are the length you need and order up a set from a local "Generic" parts dealership to fit that model, and VOILA.:smokin:
