JK drivers post your pics

Thanks everyone, let me just say that the non-Jeepers were suitably amazed, as we know we all get "the comments" from the mainstream 4WD community, and to go along quietly, say nothing and just drive... made them notice and all went very quiet, very quickly.

Eg Nissan GQ ute, 4.2L turbo (very worked), with GU worked diffs F&R lockers, 4" lift plus 2" body lift, exhaust, on 35s pretty much went everywhere. No-one other the Rubi could follow him...! Got him looking underneath and asking all sorts of questions afterwards. I said its stock mate except for the lift! He nearly sh*t....

How'd u get the wheels delivered? Their ebay link said they don't do international. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for shipping taxes etc

all good mate. I used USAtoAUS.com

Had the seller deliver to their US address (free as its within the 48 states)

Then USAtoAUS charged me the GST as they declare the whole container and don't care whether you are shipping $10 worth or $50,000 worth... and each wheel worked out to be around $30-40 shipped if I remember correctly.

As mentioned other times, I wasn't in a hurry (that is the only downside) and didn't care if it took 2 mths.

Suprisingly there are a lot out there that know something about our product. I like it when you've just driven up something easily that they have been struggling on and as you go past hear them talking amongst themselves, "he's got lockers blah blah blah...." and then when you get out tell them you haven't had to turn them on yet.

LOL. I had the same up a nice long steep rutted hill at Landcruiser. We waited down the bottom for them to eventually scramble their way up the hill then just drove up it with a little wheel spin at a spot where I had a wheel off the ground. The Electronic Brake Lock kicked in and up I continued with no probs at all. Heard the comments half way up the hill (as they had all come down to watch the Jeeps get stuck) and were yelling out comments like "cheaters - we did it without lockers". They didn't seem impressed when I told them it was a stock Sport that doesn't have lockers
