Thanks, is this something that could be covered under the original warranty
as I do have a couple of months before it expires. Warranty is the reason
why I am going back to the dealer for a service and look over. As soon as
we move to a place where I have more space, I intend to work on the TJ
myself as much as possible.

Have a nice day, its raining cats and dogs outside rightnow and we have a
club run in a nearby native bush area planned for tomorrow, should be a fun
day.

Have fun, at least it's Summer down under. ;-)

Thanks again. I hope they don't try to wiggle out of it on some pretext.

Ahh, summer in Auckland.... Hot (26C) and Humid (100% humidity) with no
wind. Makes nice mud patches and slippery slopes for fun in a TJ!

Appreciate your suggestions.
