Which dealer in Brissie did you get yours from Aussie.

These are the Qld dealers according to the jeep.com.au website Albion: www.chryslerjeep.com.au Tweed: www.tweedautomotive.com.au Bundy: Bundaberg Prestige 07 4151 1923 Holland Park: Leo Muller Chrysler Jeep 07 3243 7766 Redcliffe: www.qldjeep.com.au There are a few other dealers, but we are talking Cairns and a few other out of the way places. Violet Rose :wave: |
Yeah, I know which ones are out there,
I just get the cold shoulder when looking at them. Its seems that unless I have a huge wad of money on me they dont wanna know me. I'm hoping Aussie had a better expereince with someone. M |

VR - the are a few Aussies lurking but you will find more Australian applicable info at www.ausjeepoffroad.com
For JK accessories give Wooders from 'Wooders Garage' a ring - www.wooders.com.au he's in Sydney. I still own a TJ and with around $30K in accessories added I'll be keeping it for a while as I'll never get any of it back. The one draw card the JK has for me is the higher tow capacity, but it still isn't a big enough insentive to upgrade. |

We have ordered our 4DR Renegade manual CRD in black about 3-4 weeks ago and have been told its on the water and only a week or so away:rotflmao1: :rotflmao1: Give them a try... Matt and Leisa |

This is my first Jeep and in fact my first new car and first 4WD, so there is a lot I need to work out but so far I have had fun. I am hoping to get a few Aussie people together with JK's as parts and accessories are so hard to find here and it is great to hear from others in the same part of the world. Violet Rose :Wave: |

Matt and Leisa I have had my Jeep for a shade over one week and I loooooooooooooove it! I was told that expected delivery date for boats on the water is around 11th July. Violet Rose :wave: |
Matt and Leisa - I have seen you logged in on AJOR, where are you guy's, are you on the Mountain (Tamborine) or in the village?
I'm up on the Mountain, Eagle Heights. There are quite a few Jeepers up here. At least 5-6 TJ's (some modified), a YJ and a couple of CJ's as well as the soccer mum's in their XJ's and KJ's. |
I have on order a CRD Unlimited in Red Rock, but it doesnt look like it is going to land here ( WA ) until August.... anywhere working with a local jeep shop to do a 3 inch lift, MT Classic rims, 35 inch tyres and AEV front bumper. Will keep you guys posted as I go

I would be ringing the dealer in a week or so and ask again.... It would be great to pin them down to a date! Violet Rose :wave: |
Hey All,
I finally checked my private msg's - great to see an Aussie thread!! Hey Fat Chilli- I've been meaning to say this on AJOR for a while but I remember meeting you at Fraser Island a couple of years ago - I was the guy taking photos of your Jeep!!! Just got my JK Unlimited Rubicon last week and I LOVE IT!! |

So I did give my dealership a call, they are still saying Aug delivery, but hearing a lot of news about delays, re routing etc elsewhere, so I am not holding my breath. Then have been doing further research on installing the AEV bumper and it looks like it might not be ADR compliant - so rethinking that..... and other info that if I modify the suspension beyond 50mm my insurance isnt valid.....whats the world coming to.

I'm now going for an Unlimited in Jeep Green, Sans Renegade Pack. I'll probably never use the hard top, I will be putting in my own stereo, and I can get a set of side steps later. |
Nice, thats a big change skyline to wrangler.
Are you sure you don't want the hard top? $2000 is pretty cheap, to try and buy it later would cost a lot more. The upgraded stereo & side steps are pretty much worthless. I was suprised about just how quiet the softtop was but I will definately be running the hard top all winter. Are you getting crd or petrol? Dave |
Yeah I'll miss the Skyline.
I live in Brissy, and have been riding a scooter all winter so far. I can manage the cold with a soft top. We are also in drought here so it never rains which means the top will be down all the time. Yeah $2500 is pretty cheap for the hard top, but i'm better off paying the extra and getting the 4 door. I will be getting petrol. |
Hiya Mud
Great news to hear that you have sold the Skyline! I would invest in the hard top, seriously... in the Renegade pack you get - hardtop, side step, sub woofer and 6 stacker DVD - well worth the pack and the side steps really do come in handy! I seriously love my JK... alas, the only off roading so far has been the grass outside my Father's house! Violet Rose :wave: |
Hi all you Oz JK lovers!
Hello all.
Seems there are a few of us out there now! I've had my 4dr JK (Blk) since May 07 and loving it. I couldn't wait for a Rubi 4dr to arrive but still very happy :yup: Getting some accessories from the US that will beef it up a bit once complete will post some pics... Enjoy.. CHOOK72 (rego:RKCRLR) |
Hiya Chook!
Where in Sydney are you? I'm on the upper north shore and the only JK I see is my own or what was in the dealer yesterday and this morning. I did see a cool black 4dr this morning with chrome tube bumper bars, only saw the back in a fleeting glance - looked great! Violet Rose :wave: Lic Plate: COR 53T |

Hello Violet Rose.
Great to hear from you:) . I am based in Sydney and always keep an eye out for a new JK when I am out and about. I got the Renegade Pack with mine as well and look forwrd to taking the hardtop off in summer and cruising up the coast....might bump into you! I will be putting a 4" lift with some 33" Micky T MTZ's on Micky T Classic II 17x9's This will be happening on the 10th August. Bumper is in with Warn winch and will also put some extra lights possibly IPF or Hella..any thoughts on which brand or lights? Have a great weekend Violet Rose and to all you JK freaks:crazyeyes: Regs,, CHOOK72:yup: |
