Finally got the ARB bar a tyre carrier on. Can't say I'm impressed. I dunno what I'll end up paying for it but for what I got and the 3 month plus wait it will be too much.
I used the TJ yesterday for the first time with it on. I was recovered backwards into a tree - not at speed, just a steady pull. I know that's not what the bar is designed for but it deformed enough to let the tailgate get slightly bent (and now it won't open) and the catch which wasn't great to start with is a pain in the backside now; stiff to open and hard to close. Not nearly as strong as I had expected.
The bar itself was damaged when it was unpacked; the end was bent in on the driver's side. It straightened out OK, but that's the bit that's meant to provide corner protection so it's pretty average that it bent in the first place.
Overall I wish I hadn't bothered as there are any number of things I'd rather have had for what it will end up costing.

Looks like the front diff might have a bit of racing camber though?

Bought this JK Rubicon, factory front and rear lockers, dis connect sway bars, roll cage, 73:1 lo 1st ratio (does about 5kmh 1st gear on redline), dana 44 front and rear. From what I've seen so far shes a fckn weapon. Only had it around red rocks and odlins road
It has a 2" lift and 35s, tyres rub at full articulation with the sway bars disconnected so may have to get a 1" body lift out of the states.
Funnily enough I was on the hunt for a 7.3 turbo diesel Ford F250, which I planned to mild lift/35s/winch/lockers etc, missed out on a bargain in October and didn't know how long one it would be til one popped up again at a price I could afford. So settled for the Wrangler, and ended up parking next to one on the ferry.
