Looks good!
Coincidentally I ran into a guy from here today (TJ mad) @ Katoomba. We were talking Jeeps & mods etc. he mentioned the damper 'flip' which I had never heard of, is this an expensive mod? Have you got a pic of the other bracket? All the best

There are quite a few different versions of the damper flip now varying from new brackets over the track bar mount with tie rod mounts all the way down to a simple replacement track bar bolt. Check out Double Black Off Road for a few variations or Murchisons or even Quadratec.

As long as it relocates the steering damper from below the track bar to above, without fouling on anything Bob's ya uncle.

Finally painted my grill and thought I'd try somthing a bit different.. App won't let me post pics beacuse I already have them in my build thread? Oh well

I adapted a bracket to hold a rotopax container onto the roll cage to carry all my onboard compressor hoses. Later on I'll get an extension handle to add another rotopax container to this one for the first aid kit.

When using my cargo net the containers will bolt onto the Hi Lift jack on the tailgate using the same bracket or I might stack them flat on top of my draws.

Great idea...especially for a first aid kit!

Got pretty bored sitting at home recovering from my chemo and the pile of Jeep parts, which has been sitting in the corner of my lounge, was teasing me.
So I ripped the front axle assembly out and fitted the EVO axle tubes, EVO C gussets and the Synergy HD lower control arm brackets.



While it was all stripped down, I decided to install an E locker. This was not part of my original plan as I am not really keen on lockers in the JK D30 diff, but aah well.
This in turn prompted me to fit Yukon chromemolly axles, which also was not part of my original plans.
These I fitted with full circle circlips due to the additional stresses the locker may produce.
Also I had to trim a smidge off the end of the axles as they loaded up against the diff center.
I reassembled the axle with Synergy ball joints, new bearing hubs (with speed sensors) and new brake pads.
I installed the axle with a Teraflex adjustable track bar and topped the job off with a Tom Woods drive shaft.
Also, I installed the lower control arms in the upper mount point option but I haven't trimmed the lower portion of the bracket off yet until I have properly tested it. Without having adjusted it, my caster is sitting at about 6°. I'll see how it goes for a while before I worry about it, especially as it is steering quite well.



A bit of home made tooling was required for a couple of tasks.
I also installed an A pillar switch pod to ensure that the switch and light was " in my face".
As, due to my condition, I was only comfortable working on more pleasant days and only for about three hours a day, so the job took me more than two weeks, but all went well.

Installed some auxiliary lighting. 336W light bar mounted with a Quadratec light bar bracket and 18W spotties on the A pillar. After I took the pics below I added 1" spacers to the light bar to raise it up a bit more to ensure the lower spread isn't impeded by the bumper too much. Used a Rugged Ridge switch pod and switches from eBay.

I've also got a set of 30W floods to mount on the rear tail lights next. I'm not going to bother with the brackets that are available as they cost about $100, and the light housing is sturdy enough to mount them directly.

The only thing that I'm not overly happy with is the light switches. I'm Now ordering replacement horizontal orientation switches from OTRATTA to replace the cheapie eBay units.

Now, what to hook up to the Zombie Lights switch...
