Roosystems or something along the line of that have a decent looking bull bar, along with bonus bash plate, its cheaper than the rest, beefier and compatible with acc and the parking sensors, however at just over $2k i can get pretty much all the bits i want from offroad animal. Hmmmm.
Their rear bar looks good too, not sure if I'd go for that or the super expensive rear bar from another mob with tyre carrier.

I picked up a set of these, fit well and not overpriced like some.....https://www.customoffroad.com.au/pro...-transmission/

If the build sheet you got online is like the one I got for mine its rubbish, just a list of what you could have, unless they have the Jeep code next to the item its just a general listing not the actual build sheet for that vin even though you provide a vin.. if an item has a 3 digit code like "TBB" (full size spare tyre) then its fair dinkum.

That looks the goods and is a much better price. I'll have to hide some of these new purchases from the Minister of Finance somehow, I've already been raving on about spending more money and she can't seem to understand why, haha
Will def grab a set of drawers for the back and make a lift or pivot to access the spare, however I've never had to access the spare in the WJ, although I built the drawers for it and could have everything out within a minute.
Now to come, a few weekends of staring at WK and pulling bits out to work out where to put things.

Alrighty, the WJ is stripped of all it's extras. It sure looks bare now. Spotlights, light bar, compressor, drawers, roof rack, junk. I can't believe how much stuff I was carrying around on a daily basis.
Not sure if I'll run the Rola rack on the WK2, however there's nothing wrong with it, just need to bolt it to some roof rails when I get around to getting some. I'm sure it'll look alright.

I have a an Ironman 4x4 front bar on mine and very happy with the look. Even though I've only owned it for a couple of weeks, I'm always getting asked what brand it is.

If mine hadn't come with an ECB bar I was going to go the Ironman bar, looks good and not paying a badge tax either.....
I would have a good look at adding a rack, the roof on these things is pretty crap at handling anything, I wanted to throw my Kayaks on top like on my WG but don't think it will work, the load cap is not much and the chance of roof cracks puts me off , stupid rear door in the way as well, some write up on here about roof racks and cracks.
