hey how's that long range tank chris? any chance of some photos? i'd be interested to know how it fits in and if it decreases ground clearance at all. Having to carry 3 jerry cans everywhere is a real pain!!

I improved substantially some years back the rear end jiggle of my ZG by replacing standard shocks with OMEs from Footo Motors in Brisbane. He knows Jeeps.
Got a pretty good result without having to touch the springs.
Also replaced the front disc rotors with aftermarket brand for around $80. can't remember now whether that was each or both.
I hate the air-con not working, having to remove the 50amp fuse under the bonnet every few weeks to keep the electrics working (everything goes wrong when you least want it to, like when the wife has it in the school carpark and the windows and the immobiliser won't work) and not being able to get much in the way of accessories from TJM etc etc.

The good news is your seat can heat your ass again but it's not cheap $350 approx it trade price on the job and cause that leather gets cold you prob want to do it! Try a Jeep wrecker first if your handy with a spanner, cant promiss how long it will last though!

Hey yea i've got OME and I rate them big time! Very happy with them, I've got them on my Laredo with 2 inch coils and they go really well everywhere I take it! I've also got 500kg of extra weight aux tank steel arb bar and skid plates ect ect and for the $$$$ value I think there even better again! I totaly agree with the H.O comment I sold these new for years and the 30kw on paper is bullshit more like 30liter per traffic light haha!

Default Nothing easy

The only cry I have with JEEP is that after market extra s are so limited and the level of crazyness with drive line and suspention is average too! For such fantastic Off road 4x4's the after market world is crap and they are only doing them self damage! When I bought my Jeep I Had a ruff idea of what I wanted! Big lift, big tyres, Big fuel Tanks, snorkel and the usual camping/offroad gear! One might say not an unreasonable ask! Well try again cause it's a JEEP Add 15% onto the price and don't even bother planning a river crossing! Saffari still have not come to the Party but hey your AWD Terrican Can go bonnet deep in a puddle!!!!! GRRRRR Thats my Hate other then that

JEEP- Theres only ONE
