Default seat frame repair

I had to do a weld repair on my driver's side front seat frame which had cracked right through. I guess 2.5 years abuse from my 160kgs took its toll! It has been about 10 years since I have cranked up a stick welder so I am pretty happy with the result considering the welder I used, which belonged to my mate's father, looked older than me!

Default new rear brakes

I fitted new rear brake pads and rotors to my WG, one of the pads had become slightly out of position in the caliper and had started acting like a lathe on the rotor so it's nice to brake "silently" again now.

Default 2002 wj

FAWKES engineering shackle tabs.
Sway bar disconnects.
2" BB lift under 1" heavy duty springs.
4" Shocks. Rough country, 2" O.D.
2" Wheels spacers.

Result:
Shackle tabs are great value and awesome quality.
Wheel spacers stopped all scrubbing on the lower control arms but made the steering feel lighter.
My hub centre to guard height is now 560mm front and rear. It feels taller through round-a-bouts and other tight turns but this is to be expected.
The rough country shocks are a little soft but the springs are quite stiff. The ride is very comfortable if not a little soft in suburbia.
No crabbing or death wobbles at any speed.
15mm miss alignment in the front diff, will need a track bar. Does not effect the drive though.
No knocking any where but bump stop extensions are next before the disco's will be used in anger.

I'm happy with the out come for the cost.
It's a camping wagon and not a rock crawler so if after a winter I am happy with the height @ approx 3" the BB lift will be replaced with 3" springs.

Next on the list:
Track bar.
Bump stops.
Trans case drop. (I have this, requires fitting.)
A arm spacer. (I have this, requires fitting.)
Rear auto locker.
