Already asked about any options for a group buy, otherwise anyone in Sydney want to split shipping fees? I'm looking at you Negdriver, sounds like the same symptom you posted about recently
If I get any bites I'll set up a thread.

Not sure if aware, but if not: this (steering box chassis issue) has been an official recall item. Might be a thought to run your VIN via Jeep to get it to be done by them? The recall was two-part: those that needed a weld and those that need the reinforcement plate (IIRC). Just thought to throw it under the attention.

Stop calling your car a "she". It's a car.

Another reason what I made wont work is the fact they are weld on
so the whole front has to come off to do that correctly...

Came across this video. It kind of gave me several ideas about changing my setup.

Imagine getting the death wobbles at 150mph....

The story gets more and more explosively, hilarious as it goes.

Just makes you want to ditch your LPG tank for something better.:-D

Hey RB, some of that stuff does give you a bit of a hit, Loctite thread cleaner/primer all over the hands when cleaning bolts floats me high enough to harass the sparrows up in the roof of the shed. Seems to go straight through the skin into the blood stream. Wonder would it show in cops drug test.
