cheers dude, I cannot claim to of done the work, apparently everything was all done by Chris at Surrey off Road so should be pretty spunky. As you see it is really how I bought it, I'm not too phased by what people say though cos I modded my TJ into a beast over a few years so have an idea that it might look good but perform not quite as good!!!!!!. Be interesting to see how this WJ does actually perform off road, fun days are planned for September.....who knows, should be a grin though hee hee  :wink:  :twisted:

Would be interesting at Clyro Court....

2" Budget Boost Spacers are a quick option, I've bought about 6 or 7 sets from Quadratec, I used to import loads of Jeep stuff for a few years, piece of cake. Ring USA up and order, stuff turns up a few days later, I used a credit card all the time usually ringing the credit card company up first to say how much I was spending and with who so never had any fraud problems.

I used to find Quadratec were pretty good, imported all sorts of goodies from grab handles to wheels/exhausts/rock rails/skids bumpers etc

Only problem was that if something wasn't just right then it wasn't worth the hassle of sending it back and getting it replaced.

The WJ performed superb at Woodlands, was pretty impressed actually, only bombed out on one black run due to the ARB bumper acting like a shovel on an exit from a hole....cool :)

I wonder why ARB don't put some sort of grille over the front of the bumper, just below the winch. I got so much crud and stones in there at the weekend after ploughing through all sorts of stuff that the rad fins are actually slightly damaged.

Rather than protect the rad the crap piled up as it had no where to fall out, time for a modification.

46stm, great looking Jeep and nice to see it getting (ab)used !!

Did adding the BB spacers on top of the lifted springs at the front knock your axle off centre too much. If so how did you fix it?
Been looking at adjustable track bars but they're all for LHD and the only other option i know of is to redrill the trackbar mounting bracket holes.
