Mine was black. Just thought it might be good to get some a little lift, some underbody protection & maybe waterproof the electrics. All that water & altho' it's probably not deep enough to come into the car, if it did, then there was quite some electrical stuff under the seats ! Also water getting under the bonnet & doing it's worst ! I'm still verging towards the WJ :smiley:

Boogieman: Asuming this was aimed at me, then no. I've got a bog-standard WJ with some mud remoulds on and a K&J air filter. That's it. Looking for some diff guards though.
boogieman:
Hi HO ............ yep I was aiming at you - sorry I'm a mess at the mo & I'm wallowing around like an idiot ! So do you off-road or greenlane yours ? Just wondering if I could lift the diffs up a bit. I took my bog standard WJ to Weston Coyney & it was scraping the underside so guards would be good I think.
I've just spotted a very nice looking 4.7 V8 very near to me & I'm tempted ! 69,000mls with service history - might go & look tomorrow ! :smiley:

Do the 4.7 V8s have limited slip diffs ?

Only been green laning so far, but that's fine for me. I've been around Surrey a bit, and down to Salisbury Plain a few times. Might be a big 'ole fields in the middle of Wiltshire, but there's always plenty of mud and/or ruts around for causing havok - you've gotta love the Army for that. ;)
If my research is correct, then Quadra-Drive II has limited slip diffs. However, this is only available on post-2K WJ's and WK's (2005 onwards). If I had my money back and had the choice between my current one and a Quadra-Drive, I'd go for the QD - that alone would be worth the higher car tax for me.
