looks like 4-6 inch lift on 35s? Nice to see a high lift without crazy tires. Not ready for 37s or 40s myself.

It's a 2.5" AEV Dualsport lift (with Falcon 3.3s) but they tend to measure a little over 3"

I'm not ready for a regear or having a spare jammed in the bed all the time so I stayed with 35s as it's my daily.

I stuck with 35s too. I have the 6MT. For daily driving its fine but about as tall a final gearing as I would want. If I ever break a locker or have to get into the diff I would seriously consider going to 4.56 or 4.88. Not for taller tires but for better gearing. I think the variable valve timing changeover is somewhere around 2300rpm and right now (I have a JTR, 6MT on 35s with standard 4.10 gears) I don't break 2300 in 5th until about 63mph and 6th at about 68mph. Anything below 2300 rpm at highway speeds and my mileage suffers and I have no real acceleration. Towing is a 4th and 5th gear proposition right now. Its fine but... could be better.

That is a very interesting looking front bumper - no tow hooks? Must be banned in Australia?
It’s standard on the sport and overland. Having it replaced with a rubicon bumper. It works well as a park bench though.

It looks like the safety bumpers US regulators required in the 70s. We did such terrible things to pretty cars back then...

Agree. The bumper is so big I’m not sure why they don’t come standard with seatbelts and cup holders.
