    Fluid syringe (looks perfect for diffs)

    I have the MCM one from Supercheap also. It's awesome for sucking out/replacing fluid from brake and clutch reservoirs and power steering pumps. Not sure about doing diff and box refills with it though as its not that big.

    Has Quadratec gone out of business?

    If it's parts you need, rockauto is your go to, you'll have them in Aus in a week or so. I also use Quadratec a lot, have the odd glitch but generally pretty good.

    Do black magic brakes ship to Australia?

    I'd message Blaine and see what he can do for you. If he can't help, get the weight and dimensions of the parcel and chase up some pricing from a freight forwarder in the USA to send to Aus. Then Blaine is only shipping within the US.

    Air shocks for 05 TJ rear?

    Airbags, I have them on the rear of mine. Only use them to adjust the rear ride height if towing, works a treat. The rest of the time, they are deflated.

    Check engine light, P0344 and P0340

    FWIW I've had ongoing 0344 issues with the Jeep going into limp mode and needing to be turned off and restarted for it to go out of limp mode. Ended up bring the speedo healer causing it. Whether its the actual speedo healer unit or the Speedo Healer patch cable I haven't had time to go into...

    Roof top tents (Not all that good?)

    There are some good really light RTT's out now. I still feel you'd be better of with a really small trailer that you carry everything camping wise in, throw the RTT on the top and you'd have a good setup.

    Bumper and tire carrier suggestions

    Since that video in Feb 2019, I've have no issues arise. That said, I'm only running a 32" wheel and type package on it. The lack of snubbers hasn't appeared to caused any ill effects, believe me I've kept a good eye on it..

    Advice about campers (possible Scamp purchase) and towing capacity after lift

    Thats not what I've found with pop tops. The TJ is limited with a 900kg towing limit (sorry Australian, so think in KG) Jayco's lightest pop top locally has a tare weight of 890kg (the off-road version is 1040kg). Conversely my off-road square drop is 780-820kg fully loaded for a weeks trip...

    Money-to-burn items

    Seat heaters - I use them more than I'd like to admit. Especially if my back goes out, when it does a drive in the TJ with the seat heater on high is better than painkillers.

    Has anyone tried something more heavy duty than the OEM shocks and springs?

    I had a set made to suit my OME lift, best things ever. Day to day they do nothing. When towing or loaded up, adjust to suit.

    Help interpreting legality of bigger tires and lift in Australia

    Thats not entirely correct, in NSW we need a safety inspection every year. You need nothing to sell a vehicle. There's an issue here in Aus where we have a set of nation wide rules for vehicles to be registered, called ADR's (Australian Design Rules) new cars coming into the country have these...

    2005-2006 TJs: OPDA and other problems?

    Thats not correct, this is the NTK catalogue for the 4.0 and if you look at the 2005- they are all the same. Just get the ones suggested in the 02 thread from Rockauto. If you're getting squealing, the bush in the OPDA is on its way out, probably grabbing slightly now and then, thats why you're...

    2005-2006 TJs: OPDA and other problems?

    I disagree with the OPDA internet drama, it's blown out of proportion. Insert the Crown unit and you really shouldn't have too many issues going forward. If it worries you, spend 5mins and pull the thing out and inspect the gears for wear (I'll bet there's none). Export 02 sensors, what the...

    Affordable engagement rings?

    Suggest you go out and have a look at the TJ. Does it have Rough Country suspension and eBay bumpers? If so wander down to the local mall and pickup a ring on sale from a generic jewellers. If you have Currie/Savvy on the TJ, get to a Diamond wholesalers buy a nice stone and have it made into...

    Sun shade / bikini top under soft top?

    I'm running this one under my Twill Bestop Frameless top. It's an awesome setup. https://www.quadratec.com/p/mastertop/shademaker-mesh-bimini-top-97-06-jeep-wrangler-tj

    What is better, a frameless top or the stock hardtop?

    From Quadratec in the US, locally they don't stock the high end materials. I generally look at how much something is going to cost locally and compare the total cost of bringing it in myself, 'most' of the time I'm in front although on some accessories JeepKonnection in Vic or SBR off-road in WA...
