Default cooling Vents

Fitted some vents
Getting tired of cooking batteries, work well when crawling and lets a lot of heat out.

Default LCA's

Have you got them on yet, or on order. I found they made a huge difference with only a 60mm lift. The steering is now not flightly at all, Its kinda heavy, but that is compared to what it was, and far less bumps coming up through the car. before i felt like every bump the DW was going to return, but all gone now. I have the JKS ones, but they all do the same job. I am not sure what my castor is (thinking about getting another wheel alignment - but would rather spend the $100 bucks on more goodies), my guess is 5.5 -6.5 deg, I made them approx 10-12mm longer than OE, just short of 23" as advised by many on the US forum for a 2.5" lift.

Anyone running them and any comments on them?

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds very positive!
Too much shimmy under there for my liking and hoping these do the trick on a 100mm lifted rig!
Mine are on order and hope to arrive today....right Bill??

Your shimmy may be something else like Tie rods or steering stabiliser. The slight wobble I had in my steering went away when Jeep replaced my TRE, Tie Rod, and i replaced my Panhard. There is no wno movement when I wobble the steering wheel back and forth, before there was, that is what I call shimmy anyway. The LCA got rid of the flightyness and bumps?
