Thanks Jim, I do believe that the starter was changed by the previous owner, but not sure exactly when. Were there any warning signs? I believe that some people have had trouble with the starter loom too. And yes, I will have plenty of tools and I've been taking note of what I've used on...

Thanks, its still evolving and it remains to be seen if it proves as useful as I intended. I am currently working out if I can thread the various power, USB and audio cables through the frame to the appropriate points to cut down on the clutter. Thanks, the diff bush job is not too bad if you...

The weather was pretty grim today but I managed to make some progress on my tablet/accessory mount. Aft sketching a few ideas up in the week I have opted for a removable flip-forward mount that leaves the tablet flat on top of the dash providing a flat 'table' and leaving the factory nav screen...

Thanks for the input guys. I have done quite bit of research already on the other Jeep forums on the Hemi and by all accounts there is nothing particularly to worry about, so I was only really concerned with the usual sensors and the like that can cripple a modern engine. If the Jeep was a few...

In preparation for my Pyrenees trip in August I have been gathering some basic spares to take along 'just in case'. . I have been through most of the Jeep (an '05 WK Hemi with 78000 miles on it) over the last few months and happy that it is now in pretty fine fettle in terms general maintenance...

Another update from this weekend. I have now pretty much finished of the chuck box/drawer now that the table is fitted and I have remade the bracing system bracket so that it doubles as a stowage hook for the brace. Brace locates on the second hook when stowed. Brace locked in place...

Interesting build Tom, and nice to hear the thought process behind it. I'm looking forward to how it progresses. I went through a similar process in deciding what setup to go with in my Jeep - draws, plastic tubs, chuck/kitchen box etc. It's not always clear whether you will end up solving a...

Things are starting to come together now with actually organising the trip. It's looking like sometime early August is date, so now looking at getting ferries and overnight stops booked for the run down through France to Spain. Here's a shot of the way-pointed off road route we'll be following...

After a trouble-free and pleasantly smooth and quiet week of running since all the front end work, I turned my attention back to my drawer/kitchen. I had always intended on having some sort of fold out table attached to the drawer, and I thought it would just be a simple hinged bit of ply. In...

Yes indeed. There is the big one right next to the circuit where I normally camp but others around Eiffel Mountains area. As for off roading I'm not sure, I've only really go there for the racing/photography, but went in the Jeeps the last few times as they were better for camping activities...

Nurburgring, Germany last year. Four days of torrential rain, everything soaked. Good job I had my Hemi clothes dryer :)

Yes, it was indeed a nice little adventure. Here's a little video Tom managed to put together from the limited footage we had - not exactly the Camel Trophy was it? :********: That saw is an impressive bit of kit Charles! Actually the small bow saw we had does have a pretty good cut rate, the...

Some pics from the trip to Wales. It wasn't the most epic of trips, and much shorter than planned, but still a great day out. Start of the first trail. A mile or so in we were confronted with a fallen tree. The local mountain bikers said it must have come down over night in the storms as it...

Remembering my old ZG (ZJ) Orvis on a solo trip to the Elan Valley in Wales the day after rebuilding the diff and transfer case.

They were actually very cheap 'car boot organisers' from Aldi. I spotted them by chance and thought they'd match up well with the grey interior. I wasn't expecting much for the money but they turned out to be pretty decent quality with Velcro on the base and sides and some extra mounting studs...

Thanks guys, I'll be sure to do a write up on the Pyrenees trip, and the rest of the preparations. We're not expecting any hardcore offloading as such, so mods have been limited (so far!) to underbody protection, storage/comfort and general prevantative maintenance. Tom's Renegade already has...

continued.... Ali strut to hold vertical Tracmat to act as a cargo guard. Jack and tool bag fit nicely next to the drawer and also provides a nice fixing point. The draw finishes short of the cubby boxes, which can still be accesses by foreign the seat backs and moving the tote bags. I...

Hello All and happy New Year! I’ve been lurking here for months having stumbled across jeepgc’s wonderful Iceland thread whilst searching for expo parts for my own ’05 WH(WK) Hemi. There can’t be many of us UK Hemi owners about! This was all in preparation for a trip to the Pyrenees I have...
