I use the applicator when we get off the beach to help clean down ...

sooo...

at the end of the page...

there is no such thing as a 4 door troopy.

The 75/78s that you see getting around with an extra door (and it's usually only one, on the passenger side,) are not factory (as much as some of the jobs I have seen certainly look good enough to be).

you either have pulled the transfer lever over too far, or not far enough.

I have the same problem from time to time.

I find that if I just gently guide the lever over it works fine, If I'm any more aggressive, I'll have problems...

remembering of course that an Xj is pretty damm capable straight out of the box..

Story i've heard is that an XJ on 31s has more clearance than a GQ on 33s (don't know how true that is, but considering how well tucked and shorter wheelbase, i can see that it could be possible)

there was a bit of a blitz in QLD recently on the mounting points for the safety harnesses, not just on the seats themselves.

So make sure you have approved, engineered mounting points, as well as a good seat.
