I've stopped worrying - about my Heep anyway!

The frame has a relative weakness where the OE bumpstop cylinders insert - the Evo bracket reinforces and increases the mass wedged into the chassis... I also trust my welder's technique - he has built an excellent reputation.

Evo are top notch - I'm considering some other upgrades down the track.

My uptravel is limited - I run quite long shocks & got over the harsh bottoming out. Looking forward to testing the bumps next week at Jambo

Default Smittybilt Rock Crawler Rocker Guards

Just fitted my new Smittybilt rock crawler rocker guards from DBOR. Thanks Bill. Good price and easy to fit. 30 min max.
The best thing about removing the side steps is that the JK is now officially too hard to get in to for the mother in-law.
