Yep, they're the same seats I have coming in soon.
I wonder why the previous owner hadn't installed them on yours?
I'm keen to avoid the file if I can, but that might change once I'm shit out of luck!
Cheers mate, good to hear from another Jeep with Dobinson's.
Have you done anything to sort out the rubbing on the bump stop?
It looks like the installer of your lift kept the stock lower isolator, which I'm hoping is the underlying culprit of these alignment issues.
You're not wrong, it's about 198 lbs.
Something is definitely misaligned but I can't pinpoint what it is yet. I would have suspected the control arms, but I've already installed the Rancho geometry brackets to fix that.
I've ordered a pair of lower isolators and hoping that will help.
I'm...
That's my thinking too, I'm hoping the fix will be the same.
How much lift did you install when you noticed the bow? I thought a 2 inch would be fairly minor, but maybe it depends on the coil manufacturer?
Good stuff, nice to see another Queenslander. I'm further north but hoping to make a trip down to Fraser and test her out in the dunes.
What are the mods you've got installed so far? I like the half rack, not too many of them on the market here.
This beauty did the trick.
Makita DTW1002Z, very similar power to the Ryobi mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It made quick work of the bolts and managed it all on medium when using B'laster PB. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.
Installing a Dobinson's 2 Inch Lift (reputable Australian company) but have noticed a bend in the front right coil (driver side in a RHD Jeep).
It's my first time fitting a lift, but as far as I know I've done everything by the book. I included Rancho control arm geometry brackets to try...
I did also try the nut end but couldn't find a good angle to gain as much leverage.
Will do. I've never had to use penetration oil before, so I'm a bit sceptical on how much it can help when there isn't a load of rust visible on the bolt. I'll definitely give it a try though!
Excuse me for reviving an old threat... but holy moly the LCA bolts are tight!!
I dug out the biggest cheater bar I could find and STILL couldn't convince them to budge.
I even tried the hydraulic jack method, up until it bent my breaker bar like a banana. The only little bit of movement I...
In case it might be useful, I found this Bronco that had the same idea and took pictures of the mount.
I've reached out in the thread for any updates too.

All the best with your Jeep and I hope it'll be back on...
Did you ever get round to installing the camera under the Jeep?
This is exactly the configuration I'm interested in. I'm a bit surprised I can't find more people doing it this way? I don't have the OEM trailcam, but this angle seems even better for watching wheel placement when there isn't a...
It isn't about reviving the previous owner's contract. The law provides for a statutory floor of rights that are implied into every contract . Without checking the rights owed to you, it would be misaligned to assume a second owner has no rights at all.
A warranty for vehicles is rarely revoked...
There are many jurisdictions where manufacture warranty is transferable to the new owner, as it is tied to the vehicle and not the purchaser. Particularly so when resold through a dealer.
OP may very well have a warranty on this basis, and the time to distinguish the root cause of corrosion...
If it really was only a Tazer and aux delete, that seems ridiculously restrictive of your warranty rights. If that was the case, you wouldn't see any modified Jeeps getting any warranty work whatsoever. There must be causation between the modification and the fault.
Taking everything I say with...
That's a great setup! I only have to haul the generator once in a blue moon, so it wouldn't be worth the investment at the moment. I am keen on the project though, so I might have to come up with a few creative excuses to convince myself it's a necessity...
Good catch! Thanks for pointing that out, John.
I gave that article a read and can see where I went wrong. I hadn't at all considered the additional stress I'd be putting on the anchors by threading the strap directly between them, compared to an ordinary 'V' configuration.
My intentions were...
For anyone wondering, I'm relieved to say they can take the weight. I used a 10-tonne tree strap as a bridle and had no issues. The ramps I used were 2170mm long, and I replaced the two legs on the generator with castors to reduce resistance.
Does anyone know or have experience with how much weight the two black D ring anchor points in the corners of the bed can take?
They are the ones that swivel and are in the two corners towards the cabin.
I plan on strapping a manual come-along winch between them to pull a 150kg (330 pounds)...
