Part # J4615SSV - What does this kit consist of?
Thanks for the heads up on our website. Parts of our website really aren't our website. It's a POS called Shopatron (could be Point of Sell... or Piece of $hit). I'm about to do away with them, I don't think they offer very good service. Anyway the images are updated.

Ill only comment from my experience with KC windshield lights/brackets. Absolutely loved them, easy install, cost effective, and great visibility.
I have both the windshield and bumper lights.
Windshield bracket:

Windshield lights (KC HiLItes SlimLite 130W Super White Long Range)
http://www.quadratec.com/products/97048_20.htm
Bumper lights (KC HiLites SlimLite 100W Super White Fog)
http://www.quadratec.com/products/97048_22.htm
I spliced the bumper lights straight into the factory wiring from the original fog lights so Im using the original switch (turn signal handle) to turn them on/off.
The windshield lights were tied in under the dash with a new rocker panel installed on the dash.

So instead of both the front and rear trackbars, the 2DR kit now only comes with the front track bar, and a bracket for the rear axle (to be used with the stock rear track bar)? I had interference issues with my aftermarket differential cover when utilizing the stock track bar.
We have accounted for the fact that most people wanting these kits will also want diff covers. Depending on the trail master vehicle, we will either have Solid brand or ARB on our diffs.
Quadratec did update their website.

Interesting configuration for the rear sway bar links - possibly to allow for a little more droop. Different, that's for sure.
Brake lines look like replicas of my Crown Steel braid, Kevlar, teflon ones.

More Info re Trail Master
Found this in an older thread - interesting data. Wonder if that Serveapurpose guy would be willing to come visit us over the holidays to show off his rig (his Project JK album has a bunch of micro-thumb photos that are worthless in terms of seeing detail - could be my browser though).
Still trying to understand exactly what's in the 2DR kit, although I think I'm getting close.
I hate to admit it, but bigbluejk is correct about the quality issues. trail master was owned by Lund, and then Smitty Built and truthfully profits were probably more important than product. We bought trail master in 2005 and invested more than $3 million to rework many of the late model kits. (Performance Automotive Group consists of: OR-Fab, trail master, and Performance Accessories). The money we invested in reworking the kits was well spent, most people that own trail master kits love them.
We make all the kits in Chino Valley Arizona. Our shop is very modern, and we've done everything we could to be as vertically integrated as possible. About the only thing we don't make ourselves are bolts and nuts. Hence the price competitiveness.
If you were at the Mega-Meet this past weekend you might have seen a couple of our JKs. The "OR-Fab" JK has the 5" kit, and I think most would tell you that it performed very well.
Aussieguy, I see you live in LA. Serveapurpose lives in Irvine, and he has a two door JK with the 5" flex joint kit. If you're interested PM him and he'll probably take time to meet with you.

It also looks like the SSV shocks acted as a skidplate at one time or another
Re: the trackbar bracket...interesting option. My Skyjacker bolts over the existing weak-a$$ OEM mounting location and extends to the passenger-side, utilizing three of the diff cover bolts as a support/structural anchor. This one opts to go the opposite direction.
