How heavy is your rig? Springs? People seem to like firm shocks when their rigs get heavier, I’m curious what you’re running.
I haven't weighed it but the canopy design came in at about 60/70kg and I believe the RTT is quite light at 40-50kg so 'worst case' 150kg over stock. There is the slightest reduction in rear ride height with the set up, but the general wobbliness of the JTR as standard was too much.

Ride is now good on tarmac and off road. Just delivered are some airbags I'll use at low psi just to regain the 1/2" or so I lost on the rear and that I can increase the psi on when I'm fully loaded for the journey back to the UK.

The Jeep is running a 1.5 spacer front and .75 rear.

The cap I had made locally, all aluminium with power and light. All in it was about $1600 but labour here (Qatar) is cheaper. Quality wise it's very good and the guys who built it do a lot of overland and dune bashing rigs.

Replaced the side view mirror after killing it on a trail snow wheeling…

Yikes, those mirrors went through it, but thanks for the video. It looks like a simple replacement, and it looks good as new now.

Finally able to get some time to have warranty work done. Seat seam separation behind drivers right shoulder.

While waiting I got more pissed than I’ve been in a while. Sorry for the vent incoming…

Saw this JL on the floor. Not a fan of the color…not my style…no big deal.

It has a Mopar lift and 35’s. I stroked when I saw the skinny sticker and louder than I thought said I’m calling bs on this s**t.

So add some labor on a Mopar lift and you’re at $2,500 to 2,600. Upcharge for 35’s 200 per tire. So we’re at $3,300 to $3,400. Look and see, then the stones to charge a market adjustment.

Don’t forget though, it includes a full tank of gas! :like:
would only be worth it if they threw in a dozen eggs. Those are like gold apparently.

I think the wheels came on the jeep so...23k for mopar lift and tires. ...and no, the factory tires weren't in the back...LOL. It's a Sahara 4xe...soft top at that. Anyway, the wheels have the blue jeep symble on the rim where Rubicon's have a red one...
