Nice!!!

Do those spotlights have any sort of bracing to stop them juddering around?

[RJL Services]

will check later when I collect it the plan is an A-bar & side steps see what other bits and pieces i can do to it and i did buy some led headlights that were for a jeep to convert my Terrano ones so will most likely get fitted to the jeep now

Not so good "on the road" though at least our WJ isn't !
Think Fred Flintstones Conveyance it's is quite prehistoric if you like that sort of ride.

[RJL Services]

ride was a bit harsh then i found tyres were over inflated now at correct pressures worst one i drove for ride being crap was the 80s and early 90s toyota hilux pickup to long a drive made your back hurt from bobbing about on a crappy bench seat

My WJ ride is made much worse with it having been fitted with an ADCO rear ARB it's ok on smooth roads and on poor roads at higher speeds.

Mine is the 1" diameter rear bar - 700% stiffer hence crap ride on road at low speeds on B roads. Previous owner put it on for towing.

[RJL Services]

yeah mine it terrible on potholed roads and we have a lot here great on a good road

shopping trip later to see if pressures make it better and hopefully reset tpms light
