No more deafening squeaks while driving lol.

I'm about to loose my temper with mine, squeak in the front right is ridiculous, gonna strip everything out and re tension & anti seize ect. The sand just drys everything out

I installed the new crossmember today. Nicely powdercoated & black. Won't be long before it is brown like everything else under there!

The bugger of it is, the new bolts I bought are too big to fit! They are ~13mm shank, where the OEM ones are slightly <12mm. Bugger, have to find another bolt shop! In the mean time, I cleaned the originals as well as I could & gave then a coat of cold gal primer before reinstalling.

I sold my Land Rover Discovery last week because i had my 2012 Rubicon Unlimited arrive this week and i picked her up yesterday.
Here's a couple of picks. I love the colour and it looks even better in person.
After only 24hrs of driving i love this thing and am looking forward to sharing my build info and picking up a few pointers from you seasoned Jk owners along the way.
If any of you Sydney siders happen to see me on the roads be sure to give us a wave.

Cheers George.

Specs:

2012 Rubicon Unlimited - Crush

Heya Rhino, I couldn't be happier right now with the JK. I got a Procal just today and I recalibrated the Rubicon to suit the 285/70R17 BFG KM2 i had fitted at delivery and now it's even better. So responsive and nice to drive ! Best first mod you could do if you change the tyres i think.
Now to decide on what to replace the parkbench with and if it's worth throwing the levelling kit in ?

Cheers

George.
