BTW what is a Yabo? (as in ...bloke, I'm a Yabo and me best friends name is Robo)
When in the States a couple of months ago it was great to pick up magazines and point out to my wife that I knew the people that owned some of them through this great site. Makes it a bit more personal I think and always a little thrill to see them without sounding childish.Joe said:Congratz.... that is so great that alot of folks have had their XJ pictured on magazines.
PapaPump said:Your back seats have headrests. I always wished they would have done that here. Even in 2001 they didn't have headrests. I also noticed that the Bejing Jeeps have headrests. To bad it would be very expensive to ship one across the Pacific, or I would do it. I wonder if Canada or Mexico got headrests.
I would say that the ZJ seat would have custom bases to bolt into the XJ. I dont know if it is the base that bolts to the floor or the one that is part of the seats. I think it would be the former.PapaPump said:WOW you get the ZJ seats stock? I was wondering if they would swap, but I went to the junkyard and the mounting points were totally different. I don't know if I am the only other one besides Jeepzzz that has wanted headrests. It is just really unsafe for fullsize adults to have their necks way above the seatback. It does give more rear visibility though Its too bad European Jeeps came with some better equipment, you think they'd cater to the home market. I guess Americans have lower standards.
Gojeep said:If anyone wuld like a copy of the magazine I can send one over for you. Will cost me about $16 USD to do so including the cost of magazine and the freight. This one is pretty heavy as is 324 pages!
If anyone wants the current issue with my Jeep in it, I would be more than happy to send it at cost. ( $16 altogether ) Just PayPal me at [email protected] but dont take too long about it as need to do it before the next issue comes out.
John90XJ said:Definitely worth the admission price. You can't fully appreciate the coverage they gave Marcus on his rig until you see it in the context of 324 pages of magazine. The magazine is huge and filled with good ideas and well built rigs. This would be like having been spotlighted in Car and Driver's 10 Best Issue, only with 10 pages of coverage. It's quite an achievement to be featured here with the other rigs they chose as the Best of 2004.
I really think Australian 4WD Monthly makes US magazines like Jp, 4Wheeler and 4Wheel and OffRoad look weak.
Thanks again Marcus for sending them over. They were a hit at our meeting last Friday as they got passed around to the entire membership.
BTW, when are we going to see your hatch trim?
Gojeep said:Glad you and others liked them my friend. I hope to do the trim next week along with using clear LEDs to light the number plate. Thanks again for that nice present mate. :laugh3: I ordered the LEDs yesterday and should be able to pick them up tomorrow if the XJ lift I am just about to start goes well today. Second lift in less than a week with the last having a rear airbag setup as well.
Got you that seal yesterday for the tailcone as well as was finially over in that area. I picked you up a magazine that shows all the best 4wd touring places to see in Australia as well which will give you a good heads up when you come over.
I have put all the part numbers for that seal up that I could get on my write up on changing that seal last night in case others can get it directly in the States too.
