Thanks mate! Yea working on the drive train and making the jeep more reliable should always be priority. The snorkel was one of those fun modifications/ not completely necessary mods.

@@dtpprojects (I meant the Dana 30 and 35 ) ;-) I agree but the problem where I live is that axles are very hard to come by especially used Dana 44's It's like striking gold. I'm now considering a Currie 44 in the front and the Currie 60 high pionion in the rear. But that will dennt my savings pretty hard. So still orienting. What axles do you run?

@ in Australia, we are very lucky that all TJs came with a 44 rear and 35 front Dana. Getting a Currie is crazy expensive to get here.

Thank you! Cheers mate

When the new 200kg rear springs and the 14 year old front springs I did, now with both the front and rear being new, no forward rake. Keep in mind I have a rear bar and full tank of petrol.

@@dtpprojects i am getting forward rake around 5-6cm I’ve got aftermarket front and rear bumper 35” spare with soft top carry people with me 2933 and 2942 right now but thinking to swap with 2941 , rear spring giving me 3” lift atm

Sounds frustrating mate. Keen to hear how you go with the change of springs. Keep me updated.

I changed the door hinge torx bolts to hex head bolts prior to painting (as these are the only bolts I’ll probably ever be removing). The torx bits are horrible to deal with normal paint. The raptor would make it worse. But you can always scrape it out and use an impact on the torx heads.

Thanks man, I was surprised how quick it was to change them out

I do like my car, not gonna ruin it

Hey, Appreciate it mate, there’s definitely more coming!

@@ShawnHellaMay The jeep was black before the raptor. The roof is plastic/fibre glass anyway. No difference I’ve noticed.

@@dtpprojects I've only done bed liner on bumpers

Nice

😂

Thanks mate!

@@dannyoconner9680 Yeah a rail will definitely keep things neat. I now carry a scan tool on each trip. And now with a jeep TJ my tool kit has definitely changed

Hey, so I also noticed when i installed it that the rectangle nuts didn’t fit square in the track and they sit on an angle instead. I think you might be right the rectangle nuts need to be shorter in length. I think its a mistake by Maxtraxs

Thanks mate! Appreciate it!

Couldn’t recommend the raptor more

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Appreciate the comment!

Yea the instructions from arb is 25 pages, with horrible photos. It’s solid work to install these bars

2007

Yea heaps of sizes available online

Very expensive, $2759 new from ARB. I dIYd the install. And I was super lucky to pick this up second hand for $850 and it was new

@@theotherguy2582 yea really happy with them! Super solid. I might order different legs though. Rhino rack do a more shorter leg now, nil issues with water. I only have wind noise when the maxtraxs and shovel are on. I actually recently ripped off my shovel mount and sheared off 4x maxtraxs pins when I went into a low roof car park. And there was no issue with roof or bars

I used 7 bottles for the body, including the bull bar

Thanks mate!

These are the ones I bought from Amazon, the fit is pretty poor. But they do look better than the big bulky ones! www.amazon.com.au/Front-Bumper-Compatible-Wrangler-1997-2006/dp/B09L6X8GGJ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=32YNFDCG1XNRN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Mc3cl7FW-T2oPQwW5Nw8tg2dbz2xMix7GUbgC4B7a6Gq9Qnqr3mwQDUScmd0ELcR-OQu3KWfVEFiUm4Ar0Vu4QrBbRPUJorcSfWtH5P-yKkAPB_g5ss6IeOi5TcdLIazQzRuSuMghtIZzIee10ed_E2MgUOOwizXPKogqFjYq-7TpRo1uitbWnFDjezzXKHcrklYEp7OjebllqmEvv68sxWw8MlS8sejEGKahJ_k_flnaZO2nM8q2_K9F1Bu9H5txSY-jLIt8O9nSmwm6j2CXZpVQhvZUid-zQilynUxWw4.foVEXlIvREY3jwyTbUvuNvXUP0G1yY3Cm42BFlf1E-o&dib_tag=se&keywords=jeep%2Btj%2Bend%2Bcaps&qid=1721650911&sprefix=jeep%2Btj%2Bend%2Bca%2Caps%2C534&sr=8-2&th=1

@@kyranstaunton5616 Hey mate, from 18 psi to 32 psi it takes about 1-1.5 minutes per tyre, my tyres are 30”

@@dtpprojects thanks very much for your super fast reply. I'll likely follow your lead on a few of these vids.

@@kyranstaunton5616 no problem mate!

Good catch! someone informed me too about this, and I had to take it apart to flip it! Cheers for watching!

Thanks mate! yeah I'm really happy with how it turned out

@@dtpprojects HAHA, Jeeps looking good.

Thanks mate! Always trying to keep it simple. Less to go wrong

Hey, yea the Forester was sold about 2 years ago now. Bought the Jeep about 4 months ago (second time having a TJ) much more robust than the forester was. Finding the Mitsubishi better ?

@@dtpprojects oh yeah much better heaps more capable and much better ground clearance

No problem!

Cheers mate!

Thanks mate!!!

Watched that a while back. That was so crusty, could barely tell there was an opening in the middle.

Sanded them down in place and sprayed them too. Wasn’t worth taking off

FMJ Industries, I DM the owner on instagram, he’s on Facebook too though.

@@dtpprojects thank you, sir!

No problem mate! Appreciate the comment

Thanks mate

Thanks mate! The black is Raptor liner black and roof is woodland grey with tintable raptor liner.

Thanks George!! Definitely enjoying working on the jeep!
