    DIY tailgate reinforcement solution

    Hello all, I currently have a swing-out tire carrier on the Jeep which I'm not a huge fan of. What I would prefer is a single action option to gain access to the rear compartment that wouldn't sag the tailgate off it's hinges. I have seen kits for this purpose but due to our currency massively...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Lift got installed with a couple of 'exceptions' 1. This was expected, t case dropped about an inch to temporarily get rid of the vibration. It is now barely noticeable even when paying attention 2. OEM front track bar kept. The whiteline track bar didn't fit and machining the OEM was deemed to...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    At long last, all the parts arrived. There was a mix-up with the shocks and Quadratec shipping me 3 fronts and 1 rear shock, they quickly turned around and sent me my missing rear at no additional cost. And I now have a spare Front on hand! rob Windle was super helpful with this. Onto...

    What gears do I want?

    True, Reminded me how my previous JK2D felt. As if the Jeep forgot it had oversized tyres :)

    What gears do I want?

    After months of waiting on freight and waiting for an appointment at the dealer, I finally got the installation done this week. The drivability of the jeep has improved significantly and it gets to the power band more easily. Also, I didn't notice over-revving at speed at higher gears either...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    After waiting over a month for the Bilsteins and RK coils to come in from backorder, I decided to change the order and get the parts shipped out immediately. This meant I had to opt for Rubicon Express 3.5 inch coils and Fox 2.0 IFPs. Now I'm waiting for the shipment consolidators to sea freight...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Glad it was useful :) the only reason I found Nolathane was after talking to Ryan from the Whiteline phone line. That site doesn't even display the items for me for some reason since I'm outside of the UK. Now I'm waiting on the rest of my shopping list from Quadratec. The Rock Krawler coils...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Both track bars arrived in the same package in under a week of placing the order to the reshipping office I'm using in London. It's waiting for a container which will bring them to me via sea freight so I haven't had the opportunity to inspect them myself. I paid £135 for the front at Whiteline...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    That was what I gathered from the double black representative. When I asked them I wanted to ship to UK, their first question was whether there was a Whiteline dealer in UK.

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Glad I was able to help. It didn't appear on web searches. I found it over the phone with a UK representative for white line. The double black offroad site out of AUS has both listed but I couldn't get a quote when I asked for shipping. Probably the best option for someone out of AUS and NZ

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    I went ahead with the Core 4x4 Tier 1 short arms with rubber bushings. For anyone in the UK who may be looking for RHD track bars, hopefully this will help. Apparently, it's the same track bar that's offered in many of the Australian websites discussed above. I managed to find a distributor...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    While I try to figure out if the whiteline trackbars will work, I went ahead and placed an order with Quadratec for the majority of my parts. A few changes from the initial plan. A phone call to Rock Krawler and I found out that their 3.5 inch coils will give a lift closer to 4 inches since I...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Thanks @Hammer24 and @UKTJ for your comments. Jeepkonection seems to be out of stock but I found another site that will ship to the UK and have the parts in stock. https://doubleblackoffroad.com/products/tj-rhd-front-adjustable-trackbar?variant=37724854091974...

    Piecing together a 4 inch lift for a right hand drive TJ

    Anyone here from NZ, Aus or UK had any luck finding RHD track bars? I saw several inconclusive threads here. I was wondering if anyone successfully found them anywhere? Rocky Road apparently builds them but they are so difficult to communicate with and get my order in their system. I read some...

    Any suggestions on replacement ball joints and wheel hubs?

    The spicer ball joints mentioned here are the OEM ball joints right? Are they good for 35s? I was considering getting the Alloy USA HD ball joints. Are the Spicers the better option? https://www.quadratec.com/products/56100_0010.htm
