While im bored at home with a broken collar bone i found some fun little stickers on ebay to throw on the car. Just a bit of fun. Will throw 1 on the passenger sunvisor and the other on the rear window.

Ok so here are a few photos of the steering mod that was done. To me it doesnt look like its made the steering box any more likely to be damaged.

Just curious what needed engineering on there, I'm assuming the extra 1/2" over the 2" limit and the relocated steering box/custom arms. Or did you get it engineered for the 3.5" lift and the 33's? Seems like a lot of work for what must look like a pretty stock TJ with the 30's and small lift.

Cheers
Steve

Engineered parts inluded;
Steering box relocation,
Front panard relocation bracket.
Steering arm fabrication to suit changed steering angles and lengths.
Control arm mounts,
New hight increase, Springs gave bit over 3 inch, was engineered for 32s. In the process of getting 3.5 inch springs from wooders as the rear 2.5s have sagged over an inch and half.

The pics attached here dont show it as it sits right now. Im only running the 30 as i have run out of money for anything futher. Borrowed the 32s from a friend for the day. All work was carried out by one engineer and the certificate was done by another. Both refused to engineer it for anything bigger than 32s and 2.5inch lift.

Must admit it looks fairly stock still but when you get up close it looks a hell of a lot bigger than standard.

Yeh when he parks it next to mine you can definitely see the difference, and it sure does drive really well after the work.

But it's still a red one AJ, so I still don't like it
