Re: Spanking Wrangler sahara 4 door 2012. :)

specs of the arab models will likely be different to the US or Aussie models so can't really compare trim models and what you're meant to get with them. Although JK wranglers here do not come with a service key minus the transponder - just 2 original keys with the transponder in them. if it is meant ...

Re: does anyone know this JK... misso wants to buy it

yer a dude by the username on ajor of silver_jk i think owned it. he wheeled it moderately hard but I think got over it and traded on something else.

Wouldn't be surprised if it has issues somewhere. I mean being a Jeep it will have issues make no mistakes about it but to what extent is the question.

Re: More flex out of level panhards? True or false?

many kits for the JK wrangler lift the roll center from the axle end (relocate axle end mounts upwards). Generally they lift the front 3" as they are able to flip the drag link on the steering knuckle and this sits it approximately 3" above its standard location, so keeps them nice and level - also ...

When it is doing this does the stereo turn off when you turn it all the way around to START?

i agree with scott. Prado, Pajero and Pathfinder will all do what you want offroad and be miles better than a Patrol or Landcruiser on road.

Re: Fox bolt in smoothies vs King bolt ins

Fox shocks for quality and performance. King shocks for support and because they are what all the 'new' cool kids have. Both can be revalved. If you can rebuild one shock you can rebuild them all. Fox shocks have cheaper replacement parts compared to some other brands. My vote is get the Fox shocks ...
