    GREAT looking Jeeps down under... too bad they have to keep UMBRELLAS in their gunracks, though.

    I might know them.......

    Yep Stu is the Owner, there are some pics of my Jeep on the page, the silver one is his, few more changes to it since then. The black Limited was also his, but he built it and took it to one trade show and then shipped it the next week to the new owner!

    When it comes to Late model jeeps down here, he's pretty much leading the way. He has a couple of KJ's with 4" lift thats hes built, actually doing a couple of KK's with sliders, locker (rear) and lift for the local dealers, as well as building MW3 replicas for a couple of dealers (using all AEV stuff and his own coils - that was fun, gave him a hand to knock 2 builds out in 2 days - tyres, wheels coils, shocks, front bar, winch, rear bar and everything black powdercoated - long days)

    Stu is very professional, well setup and r&d's his gear extensively, uses a lot of AEV gear as well. Currently for the WH he is helping a local suspension mob designing replacement lower control arm to strut poly bushes, and hes also doing kits for the Wk (WK2 to you guys)





    This is my truck. Between us we have fitted the Saguaro front and rear, his custom lift with custom rate coils and shocks due the the weight, skid plates to the fuel tank, 4xguard rails, dual head ARB air with tank and front and rear outlets, custom rear drawers, 4 batteries, custom rack and mounts, incab controls for the winch etc, led lights everywhere.

    The superlift kit arrives in January, and we have a Claytons triangulated rear long arm kit from a WJ just waiting to be used, which will be the basis for our version of a 6" lift. Stu is relocating the fuel tank to between the rear rails (where the spare was) to give room for the rear long arm setup. The triangulated setup should give us around 14" travel with very nice ride quality. Stay tuned for that one.
