Fitted a chime buster, great mod, now I can leave my keys in the ignition & listen to the radio without the chimes driving me crazy

Fitted a Bestop High rock rear bar & relocated the rear number plate to to the spare wheel

Still have to fit my new tie rod & front axle gussets & tube kit & make up a mount to fit my high lift jack to the passenger side rock slider in front of the passengers front door

Default PPM Coils

I found that my front PPM coils bottomed out with the Rancho shocks, but are fine with the PPM shocks. The Mono tube gas pressurised shocks hold the coils up. I am not quite a believer as yet, but just maybe this Tuned coils and shocks has some merrit. The Rancho / PPM preovide a Limo style ride both on and off road, but i just think the Rancho's are to soft on compression for the softer style PPM coils.

I ended up putting back my original performance springs in the rear, FullTraction.
So i have F/T 3.5" Rear, Poly 4" in the front with Rancho 9000 shocks all round, it all works great now

I have PolyP Drag Link and i'll be getting the Tie Rod Next as very well made.

Finished installing second hand ARB bar and PP front links with disconnect kit. Bar came up quite well with a quick polish, close enough to a new one for me! Now just need some lights to fill that void in the middle. Also have some rack mounts on the winch plate from PO, not sure what to do with them yet. If I remove them they will leave 8 ulgy bolt holes and a lot of scratches. Could buy another one, or just leave as is til I get a winch!

Front surprisingly has only dropped 5mm after installing the bar. Checked it again after driving around and still the same.. Now sitting at 70mm above stock on the front and 85mm on the rear.

New wheels finally arrived and on. Went with Pro Comps.

Stock tyre tread just sticks out past the guards, may get away with it , may not.

Just waiting on my ARB front bar and lights now
