Well, money is an issue but breakage can be dangerous, especially on highway
speeds. What do you think about hack'n tap Rubicon Express kit? I know its
a temporary solution, but when the time comes for beefing up my transfer
case, I might trade up to an Atlas unit. I like the taller mounts because I
have a body lift and also taller mounts have taken my oil pan away from
harm's way.

Something I didn't realise earlier was the difference in designs for a RHD
Wrangler. Apparently an Australia company is now making components for
Rubicon Express for RHD versions of their trackbars. I might import them
from Australia (cheaper freight due to being closer to us).

Thanks for all you help.
