Finally gave it a good shakedown run this weekend just past. Two problems identified.

As the panhard bracket doesnt fit the RHD model, i left the rear panhard as stock. This will not work as with 3.5 inches of lift the spring hits the metal part of the bump stop with only a moderate amount of flex. I have tracked down a JKS adjustable rear panhard bar and am waiting to hear back from them as to if they will suit me. Wooders can get these in.

Second issue is that one of my RE GEN2 disconnects fell out. The instructions said to use a locking compound, and well i guess the automotive spec glue I used was no good. Loctite make a special thread locking compound that i will use next time.

Oh, and bar pins suck. They are noisey and annoying. I will buy some bar pin eliminators from Wooders too...

The right rear tyre also rubs on the inner wheel arch (31x10.5).

JKS got back to me and said their RHD rear pahard is 'in development'
Probably going to have to go custom...
