I also recently installed Teraflex longer rear links and axle-side track bar bracket.
Made a huge difference in handling especially stability around corners and hitting bumps, entering driveways at an angle, etc.

Only problem is I also installed a new Fox steering stabiliser with Fox relocation bolt, just the bolt isn't torqued enough on the track bar and got some nasty shimmies/wobbles when hitting a bump at speed.
Only annoying thing it the way these bolts are designed (similar to DBOR relocation bolt, only $15 instead of $60) make tightening a bit more annoying.

Made a simple yet very solid tablet mount, I was using velcro to attach my tablet to the daystar dash top but in the heat it would come off and was getting a bit loose and scrappy. I went and grabbed a few bucks of J profile aluminium (gutter profile in bunnings), cut three sections, used double sided tape (for now) to attach to the dash and called it done. If it holds up I'll take it off, paint it black and epoxy it to the dash top.







Cheers
Steve
