Ordered. No diy kits so it's the pre-cut pre-welded fully assembled by Jimnybits option which I'll gladly take so don't have to ask anybody to cut an Anti Roll Bar in half then send it to me.
Jimnybits also list off all the additional parts needed which I ain't got so vey helpful.

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Alternate options. I wonder why JimnyBits didn't do cut end links like these few examples.
(If I ever get a complete ARB I'll look at replacing the Jimny bits one and getting some disconnecting end links that fit straight from the supplier or even getting some modified to fit mabe even completely fabed.)

Because they know their market, the shiny stuff like that is not going to sell as well as it might in the Jeep community because there's a perception that Jimny stuff is budget end not high end.

They wouldn't work on the Jimny. The Jimny drop links are very short and, with one removed, the end of the ARB passes very close to the droplink bracket (it may even hit the bracket, depending on how well your ARB is aligned in the chassis bushes.) You need to completely remove the drop link for it to work.

Busta.
And therein probably lies the reason why Jimnybits did it the way they did.

$59 for 2 steel tubes with 2 steel tabs welded to them ain't cheap. Makes those $120 jeep end liinks look like good value.
I need to check how much my complete kit was with the used ARB.

Ah yes value for money Vs sale price, there's a can of worms and no mistake!
