Yeah it took a couple of YouTube videos for me to get it right. Was easy after the first one

Little bit of an update.....
Have colour coded all my lights... Just something to do



Changed my diff ratios to 4.56. Really good noticeable difference. Definitely more punchy and the gearing is much better!! Definitely worth the money!



My JK was featured in Overland 4x4 mag. Very happy with the result!!



Ordered door stays/check straps from Star Fab Engineering in the states so my doors will stay open all the time! Fitting them on Wednesday, can't wait!


Did a bit of a photoshoot when I went to Portarlington. Bit of a poser i know







Also changed my rear muffler! Sounds much better!

Just saying, what a nice guy. Sorry just saying. Must be your addition to "if he even wheels" . You must be a top bloke at BJC.


GQTRBO,

Very very nice build mate and good on you for looking after it. I'll be stealing a few ideas for my build when the Targa JK arrives. Wilboar Fastback and Angled Knuckes Skewer, 35s.

Some awesome photos here for anyone interested.

The article states a rubicon has a bigger rear diff. Is this true?

The clowns writing for those mags have no idea. Rubicon has a D44 front diff instead of D30 in the Sport. Rears are the same in both, but Rubicon has 4.1 ratio

Yeah that's what I thought but I wasn't 100%. My dad has a subscription to overlander. Every issue I can pick at least a few things that are completely and utterly wrong. Let alone all the other stuff that is subjective and usually very wrong too.

Either way it's nice to see a jk instead of a bloody land rover discovery.
