I think there must be a difference between the 97 & update models. the Z9 definitely will not fit on a 2000 model.
What side is your spare on? (this will allow us to know if we are comparing like with like) The update has the spare on the left.
I suspect there are extra bracing on the chassis of the update near the steering box & so less room. The bull bar mounts are different on the update as well.
Does the Z68 have the non return valves etc & are they a diesel or petrol engine filter? ~ There is a difference.
