Re: What happens when you leave rubbish on tracks & 4wd area
went up thompsons with tjhe club a while ago. The amount of rubbish on the track was shocking. people go up there for a enjoyable day. how enjoyable will it be with flat tyres from broken beer bottles and seeing rubbish everwhere. IF its not so hard to take it with you , take the empties back

Re: Jeep wrangler tj lift .how big is yours
the problem i find with the wrangler forum is they mainly deal with 4" + lifts and there isnt much info on smaller lifts. Perhaps i have to dig a bit deeper. Sounds like you guys have imported a lot of stuff. Ive searched lift kits on google and am a bit worried about shipping costs and tax etc...
