    No worries mate....I like finding something to do in my free days. Keeps me busy and I dont give headaches to my wife by fiddling inside the house. I was just thinking wether the stock shocks have that extra 2 inch of down travel to keep up with the changed height of the vehicle.........

    Also some links here if u r interested in a second hand kit still in good order.....

    I have built my Jeep with a lot of second hand components and if properly done can save you a few dollars.... I have second hand front bull bar, second hand rock rails, second hand bumper bra, second hand sway bar disconnects, second hand fuel tank skid plate, second hand evap canister etc....... If u talk with the seller and find out decent condition parts it wouldnt be hard to source a reasonable quality kit which will serve as a makeshift arrangement till u find the one that suits your needs.......

    Cheers and happy Jeeping....

    Ah I hate being impatient haha... I suppose that at least this will let me get out of debt a little bit more before I smash the living bejesus out of the credit card again haha

    Mani - Thank you for the heads up! Have you done all of the work on your Jeep yourself? Looks bloody awesome

    Yup mate.... Initial lift was installed by TJM as I had a friend working there.... After that everything has been done in my front yard with the exception of front uni joints and ball joints...... Actually a few jeeps have had their suspension etc done in my front yard......

    This looks like the most complete budget boost I can find and with AEV there are no doubt about quality...... See if u can source it here......

    Hi, I may pop in to see what all the fuss is about. I don't think anything needs fixing (yet) but I'm sure I'll learn something.

    Dan, regardless of what way you go, yes it would ba\e an ideal task at the Tool Box Day, although I can also understand if you want to get it fitted sooner (in which case still rock up ).

    OK so the Job List I have so far:

    Chipper: Ball Joints
    DanD: Lift kit (Maybe?)
    DK: Change Fuel Pump
    RedRubi: RockSliders (Maybe?)
    ROK360: 360 Leaks (Maybe?)
    sfedek: AC Mounts mods
    Wolfe/Hunno: XJ Camper

    Anyone else
    We should have room for at least 4 cars to be worked on concurrently.
    Heck we could roll the fire hose out for anyone that wants Wolfe in a mankini to wash their ride.
