Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all - while I am not new to wheelin', (currently own Jeep Wrangler (vice pres MJOC) and series 1 discovery as family car) I haven't owned a Suzi since I was 18 and bought a new LJ80. - Since then, I have owned Patrols, Hi Luxes, Jeep and Land Rovers, but the Suzi still has great memories.
My son has just bought a Drover, front and rear Lock Rights (and don't they make the steering heavy!!) Warn winch, roll bar, fibreglass roof, 30" BFG's and spare G13a which I will reco before dropping in. Paid $3700.
What he would like to do is keep the fibeglass section over the driver and passenger, but replace the rear section with a windjammer and tray cover. Are these available in Oz?
I have just replaced oil and filter, and front and rear diff oils with hypoid as recommended - is there any other basic maintenance I should do, not knowing the history of the Suzi? Where is the best place to run diff breathers (just to the firewall?)
Anyway, looking forward to being a part of this forum - I am a regular poster on ausjeepoffroad.com, and feel that these types of forums are invaluable
Thanks guys and girls!!

Where are you and your son located ?? (helps to give relevant information from local members)

Welcome aboard I am sure you will find a wealth of information along witty (and not so witty) replies to most of your questions

Welcome PK.

What do you mean by wind shield?

You can buy a glass rear off a maruti ute to make the drover a ute. If you want to close the the ute top off with something solid check out our member "ca18escort" members thread. Their you will find a great link to building your own lid.

Thanks guys - we're in Melb.
And what's with the Jeep??!!!! Best 4WD I've owned, although the cost of parts is amazing!!

What is a maruti ute? Any pics?
A windjammer is common on Wranglers - basically a "soft " rear wall of a ute, complete with window which goes down behind front seats to create a ute

You can get fibreglass backs but they cost Someone was thinkin of makin them on their own time wayyy cheaper.

Also Zukin4life was gonna talk to his old man about soft top maruti backs Wonder how that went

not my old man the boss at work its the company promo car it has a soft wall at the back it was origanally a soft top but they just left it and put a soft wall from the top to the floor looks good havnt been to work in a wile i will be at work in 2 weeks so will take photos wen i can i think sum one called it a wind stopper or sum crap like that

wind jammer probably dude

Think you're having a grammar relapse

yer i think so too yr10 exams are over so i dont really bother any more to lazy there is no need to any more unless it makes it easier to read

I know someone who is selling a Windjammer in Sydney and if you want we can buy it between the two of us so I can keep the bikini for myself.

Is a kind of green sea color.
