Got the windows tinted. 35% VLT using 3M film by a shop. Hardtop already had the factory tint, so this is in addition to that. Fronts can only be 35% VLT in New Zealand.


Also, changed the antennae with this one from ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/191309985215)

Added the rest of the EVO Pro-Tek skid system today....the trans and exhaust/crossmember skid.
Not too difficult, but some of the nuts you have to remove are bloody tight.

Fitted up the swaybar disconnects and rear swaybar drop bracket, holy crap, who'd have thunk the rear swaybar angle could effect bump steer so badly...??? The missus took it for a burn to the shops and immediately asked what I had done as it apparently drove like a car instead of an angry pig...

I know what you mean. I had to take the transfer case plate off to fit my new exhaust, I nearly did a pooper valve and had sore arms for a few days.

That Trans plate is a bastard to fit, the nuts are so hard to get to. i did mine in the garage with no jack stands which probably didn't help.
I also made the mistake of taking the Cross member plate off to knock out a dent.Big mistake once on its not a good idea to take it off as it gets out of shape quite quickly & is almost impossible to get back on

I've the electric discos on my Rubi, can I fit JKS discos also for a true disconnect?

May have to do the same on mine, 2.5" lift with the rear sway bar drop bracket. How much lift have you got?

Thanks

I'll swap you my quick discos for your Rubicon sway bar if you don't like the electric disco
