Yeah, but its just a cheap spare I picked up from a local tire shop. I run something much less aggressive.Those are some gnarly ass tires!

I had no trouble it was the two on the other side who forgot to lift and walk same time as me! Lesson learned get a jeep person or car enthusiast to help next time.Fish - I thought you Aussies were tough! Three of you had trouble lifting the hard top?
I actually thought they would be a bit lighter and they are well off balance with the weight of the glass, I think I was being a bit too cautious knowing the glass replacement in Oz would be almost impossible and as usual if you take too much care you usually stuff something up.
Not sure I will be putting it back on, going to try and buy some fabric UV protector today else the padding will be purple in a few days, I wont get my extended safari top for about a month and the padding covers would have disintegrated by then.
I dont think a hard top is necessary in Perth given it doesn't get cold its only rain and dust to contend with, I have got a cheap trail cover to use until I decide what soft top I want, I still have the original top bows and window surrounds have the sun rider quick release pulls so I have a few options to ponder.
Lowered radiator shroud, it had about .25” clearance from when I did the MML and the 1.25 BL and for some reason just lately if I get flexed a little the fan would hit it. Lowered it .75” and it now has a bit more clearance so hopefully that’s resolved.
Also modified my rear cargo area storage/shelf. The dogs ride on the top normally but under hard braking have launched into the front seating area so the “headache rack” should solve that. Also had a gap in the side struts that hold the shelf and they’ve fallen in between those so I filled those in. Next I’ll put some 9mm underlayment down and Hydroturf the entire thing so it’s nice and padded as well as grippy.

Holy shit! What a well-built....hood...I Googled kerbing and house cross overs and this was the result. I'm sure it's much more interesting than what you were trying to say.
p.s. WTH is a 2 tonne jack? I want one now.

Gets a bit sad as you get old! Half an hour with T Cut on NYE helped the hardtop mishap scratch big time! I am sure if I put a bit of elbow grease into tomorrow maybe it will disappear completely? Happy New Year to you Guys from afar

Got rid of my painted flares (they were chipping) and replaced them with some OMIX.

Took another ride in the snow, tested the new tires out. They did really well. Cooper SST Pro’s MT 35’s. I like them.
What do you want pics of?
Once in, all you can see is the brushed stainless shaft and the B&M black knob (which I am not entirely sold on yet. It's a little small for my mitts).
The install was uneventful. Not really worth photographing
Edit...
