Looks good Steve.
I like the bottom drain plug(inc. magnet?) and the high level filler plug with dip stick.
Makes for quick and easy oil changes.

Drain plug and filler dipstick both have magnets on them, I was quite surprised, it's quit an accurate copy of the ARB diff cover although it isn't powder coated like the ARB one

Finally fitted the diff cover. Fits well and no leaks

But where's the bottle opener

[Steve F]

Fitted a tailgate strut, sick of holding the thing open.

Used three roofing screws at the body end as the self tappers weren't getting though the metal, double skinned I think.



And closed



Took a little tweaking to make sure the strut was not stopping the tailgate before it hit the stops.

I just fitted one 3 weeks ago! Watch out opening it when the arse end is downhill and you forget you've fitted it!

Catches you off guard!! LOL

Raised the light bar up to the top of the front bar and took the Narva 175 lights (with HID conversion) off of the XJ and put them on to the JK Also took the rear LED work light off the XJ and will mount up as a reversing light on the JK once I get the roof rack (off to see Wooders tomorrow)

Remembered why I was never a big fan of the HIDS (warm up time) so took them off and put on some LED spots in there place

5" spots from ebay, 45w and 10 degree spread as I wanted something that would push most of the light forward to compliment the flood light bar. Not looking to light up KM ahead just something to get a but more distance. Quality seems good with an aluminium housing and a stainless components with a decent waterproof grommet for the cables. The mounting system also makes it very easy to get them level.



One of each, they sit further back and are more protected.





On a "pain to look at directly" threshhold they are up there.



Now to wire them up over the weekend
