Saw a black one with nudge bar as I was leavin. We came through flea creek the up webbs ridge. Mine was the update with the yellow TJ. Didn't see anyone at flea creek though.

Ah ha. We might have been packed up and gone by then. Started heading out back up Gentle Annie at 1300 hrs on the knocker. Would have noticed an XJ and a TJ travelling together (my little boy would have definately and very excitedly noticed).

I'm usually tucked right up in that 'southern-most' camp site as well. Very hard to spot from the road.

Re-applied my slip-yoke eliminator kit to try and stop a transfer case leak, the gasket goo I used last time had totally disappeared, think this lot should persist a little longer. Started installing my JJ-Super-Loom after a few tweaks to run my roof mounted lights, things are very tight on the front end of a XJ.
Also ordered a new cat-back exhaust, new front springs and a set of control arm bushes.

I wouild be a little concerned if you have metal flake in the diff oil, Windex. I just dumped mine 40k after a rebuild and clean as.

Took the xj for a quick wheel on a lunch break, in that section of scrub
That runs off newie link rd, she dominated the climbs and the mud holes no
Worries, just about back I climbed a couple of rocks and then she cut out,
No lights, no ignition, no radio, dead .... Grr
Walked round the front (popped the hood) the positive had bounced of the
Battery, a pair of 18" sidchromes fixed that XD

U got some vids of this? Id like to hear what the system sounds like.

Waiting for an excuse to throw a bigger exhaust on mine. Done hitech headers to the cat already. Would like a beefier note and see if a bigger exhaust opens her up more.

I bought 2nd hand headers and ordered the S pipe direct from hitech. Think it was 120ish.

I'd be keen on seeing this to, my cat sounds like a baby's rattle. Have to switch off when I stop at drive throughs.

I replaced the ring and pinion gear sets, this apparently is normal for the first initial meshing of the gears as they arent cut to mesh perfectly from day one. Think that is why often new cars get their diff oil dropped pretty early.

And how much was freight, if you don't mind me asking?

Well I ordered a few more things with the lot, but it works out around $500AUD to my door with new cat and the upgraded muffler.

The have videos of the system on their website.
