oh yeah also, how does that FLIR work? does the camera/flir system just connect to a video input on the nav system? or is that screen setup just for flir and other cool military things?

Just works with the stock nav system, acts like a backup camera. One of my customers said that it was an option when he had his MyGIG installed in his JK. Said it was STUPID money, so he passed :Wow1:

yeah thermal imaging camera systems are VERY expensive. eventually, like night vision, FLIR will come down in price. but i really do not see any time soon. not very many civilian uses for them...on cars at least.

It's a love/hate thing with that guy, alosix.

Thanks Scott.

Its more frustration. Drove 2 days straight to Overland Expo 2009 to see on. Filled out the AEV paperwork, started saving and haven't haven't seen one yet.

I hope one day it will come. They are an awesome Jeep, and I'm in need of a bigger Jeep soon.

Stage 1 & 2

We just got started with the storage solutions. Here we are showing the unfinished Stage 1 drawer and Stage 2 compartment being test fit.

What material exactly is this being built out of?

Factory fire extinguisher - a nice touch (love the cyrillic too)

Just one thing - that's not Cyrillic. It's Arabic!!!!


FANTASTIC - I WANT one too, saw it before in a write up in an Aussie Jeep magazine - "Australian Jeep Action" - and US mag, "JP"......but they didn't show action shots!


Not the Cyrillic Fire Extinguisher! - the JEEP!

Over here in Australia you can buy a JK (2 or 4 door) with the same 2.8 VM Diesel in auto or manual as long as it's NOT a a Rubicon (V6 petrol only) and you can opt for a package that costs (AU$1000 or 1500) and gives you electrically locking front and rear diffs and front sway bar disconnects (electric) and maybe a few other things (can't recall atm).......needless to say, it's been pretty popular!

In the third picture from the left, what's hidden between the box and the passenger seats?

I read somewhere that the J8 is not going to be street legal?
True?
False?
Any Details?

I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't be street legal.

What I am curious about is importation and registration. I hope all the details on what documentation is required and what agencies must be satisfied are shared with the forum. I am always curious about the legal details on importing, registering and insuring exotics.

A topic like this could probably be it's own thread, but should be referenced in this one.

That black cylinder is a 1.6 gallon heat exchange hot water heater. After the installation is complete, it will be fully concealed (and accessible), protected by a metal shroud. It will be heated by engine coolant. The cold water tank will be a 13.2 gallon collapsible unit. Total on board water 14.8 gallons. More pics soon
