888dee Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hi from NE Scottyland 2020 2.0 JL Sahara… owned it from new, got it as soon as possible after lock down one chopping in a BMW M240 for it. definitely not a mall crawler here, adding little bits and bobs as I go… Was surprising capable on the Duellers but happened across a set of GoodYear Wranglers in the standard size, Got very frustrated damaging the back bumper through dragging it’s butt so took a saw to it (yes really), made a new mount and relocated the number plate, fitted a receiver hitch and made some bars to drag along instead. Yes I have suffered the water pump bolts coming loose…. Smittybilt bumper and Rhino winch, various other bits and bobs. Should’ve bought one years ago oh and sorry, gratuitous Alfa pic because, well, I can 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome from the north west Hitch is a Tyger brand imported from the US via amazon Main objectives at the time were to create a hard point to protect the bumper and an additional recovery point… minor pangs of regret as obv not EU approved for towing, although an EU spec receiver hitch and electrics is well over £500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
