Currie Enterprises set up is not compatible with RHDs. Just ordeted a Crown HD kit. Hopefully it will be delivered in a week or so. Uses all factory mounts and threads, no modifications. Supposed to be solid tie rod (ZJ style) rather than hollow tube like TJ factory style. I'll post photos to compare when it gets here.

It got delivered late yesterday. Looks heavier material. I'll do the fit in the next week or so:

All done, new drag link, tie rod and steering damper. Fit like a glove, no modifications required.

The unit I got was Crown Automotive HDSTRGCR3 Heavy Duty Steering Kit (Right Hand Drive) from Quadratec.com

After a test drive, went for a WoF. All OK. Incidentally my TJ now qualifies for 1 year WoF! Great.

Plan for the weekend is to clean it up, take some photos and list it for sale.

I am not using it as much it ought to be used. Rather than let it waste away, time to pass it to on to someone else who would use it.

Its been great 12 years, lots of fun.

PS: It might give me more time to start having fun with the JK.

That's a bugger TJ! Would be like parting with your left arm aye. PM me with all the details as I have a mate that has just written off his much loved Suzuki Jimny and he might be persuaded into changing up to a Jeep.

It is a bit sad, but JK needs a bit of customisation :twisted: I would say its a worthy replacement.

I'll send you the details in PM.

TJ has now been sold. Great little toy for 12 years. Lots of fun memories. Time to move my attention to JK.
