After not having great light in the back I decided to add some LED lights to the rear of the roll bar. 2 lights installed and a world of difference, lights up the rear boot area heaps and cost about $10 and 5 minutes to do.



Need to find a better pic as well.....

Well just an update for 2011.

Fitted the upper adj Rubi Express control arms front and rear and the fixed lowers as well. All geometry back in order and smooth as. Also investigated the use of the EFS TJ panhard bushes in the SOLID axle version and they work a treat. See Carrolls Suspension in Wacol to get them as they slot right in. Same bushes I have in the rear EFS panhard.

speaking of adjustable arm stuff, I fitted POLY PERFORMANCE adjustable upper arms on the front of my JK a bit on 2 weeks ago now.

Love them. Adjustable on the vehicle is fantastic. Front end even feels a bit tighter as a result (i like that). Wound them right back and the castor change has been very noticeable in the way it tracks at high speed and also when braking. Downside is I don't think the upper arms are short enough to adjust the castor on a large lift (say over 3"), I think the lowers would be required as well? Not a big issue, the PPM lowers are fantastic as well and I have them sitting in the shed...!

They really need new bolts though as the standard Jeep bolts do not fit very well (too small). If you don't torque them right up there'd be alot of potential play they shouldn't have and that could contribute to suspension noise and/or shimmy/death wobble. This affects the standard arms too I might add.

Have now driven on the new bushes on the front for about 3000 km's and the difference is massive. Reccomend getting the better bushes asap if you have the SOLID adj panhard.

Hey on that note, quadratec sells some kicker replacment speakers for our jks, but ive got the infinity setup. Is it better than the infinity or more of an upgrade for those with the stock speakers
I have just installed the Kicker speaker up grade + super tweeters. With the kicker amp it made a world of difference over my Infinity. PM me for more details as I'm selling some of my JK audio gear.

would be interested to see how they go after greater use. I have used so many nolathane bushes of varying strengths and have always flogged out way too soon, even ones that are suppose to be so strong they want destroy themselves, yet to see it not happen.
They look snazzy but time will tell i guess
