I can see RB getting a bobcat in the future.

Thanks

Just did mine. Got stainless extractors from "Precision Auto Parts" in Hornsby. They are on E Bay. $220. Fitted up good. Make sure you use a cat with provision for oxygen sensor in the rear.
I then used a 2.5 inch sports muffler and pipe to the rear. Sounds sweet.
Think about new oxygen sensors while your at it.

I have a ping / clunk through the steering when turning hard, usually when turning out of a tight parking spot. An inspection revealed the steering box moving the rail at the top slightly. It has been getting worse recently.
I am reluctant to give it to Jeep to fix because I know they will dick me around for a while.
Wanting to fix it myself, I tried to order a RHD reinforcing plates from C.ROC in the states. When I entered my zip code it says "cannot post to that address".
Has anyone been able to order one or can I buy one from somewhere else?
I am going to make a steering box brace but I would like to also fix the problem at hand too.

It would be useful if you would put some details of your jeep in your signature line. If its a pre-update it may be covered by a recall.

It's an October "98 update

I've got the same thing to deal with, tried going through the local dealer and they were just being a massive pain about it, wouldn't give me the time of day so bugger it I'll do it myself. The full kit + expected shipping will be about $200 AUD in the end, thank you exchange rate.

Contacted C-Rok last year, took them about a MONTH to get back to me in the end, and they wanted something like $70 for shipping which is crazy but hey what can you do. I put everything on hold, but now that my jeep is running again I've tried contacting them once more to put an order in for a full RHD frame kit. That was 3 weeks ago.

They're just lazy mate... but they're the only people I know of to get a RHD kit from so, what can you do?
