None... but it pays well.
I noticed the Aussie factory steel rear bumper... Us yanks have a narrower center where your plate is placed. It allows for towing package. Are there any Aussie Wranglers that have factory tow packages? If so, how is the hitch mounted? I like the Aussie rear bumper style over its yank counterpart. PS... you need yank Rubicon front fenders. Helps with severe flooding. Ha!

We get the upgraded breaks and cooling system standard, the hitch receiver is also the
same as the US market, with the hitch there are a few different plate option. Most people just
cut the bumper and mount the plate to the rear tyre. our plates are a different size to yours
and yes the low rubicon fenders suck balls. JKs also had low fenders so I think it’s one of the
RHD markets that have a problem with high fender. Would also be awesome to have a hemi option.

Getting ready to drive to Australia’s most northern point, replaced ball joints, both track bars, and tie rod.
did a bit of a shakedown run and damaged a CV boot, hopefully it holds together on the trip as I don’t have time to replace it.
