Amazing dad joke on the Good Vibrations.

I am staying away from the brown dogs because of those vibes being reported. Wouldn't mind super reliable mounts but my jeep is already pretty noisy. Brappp!

My Browndogs didn't come with torque specs(states "snug"). So German specs.. goo'-n-tight.

I have the Poly mounts and they are "snug". No vibrations, from that anyway.

Poly, yes. Rubber shouldn't be a noticeable increase.

Correct, and they make that clear. Specs are on the site.

I have no issues with mine except an increase in vibes in the seat and steering wheel. Don't notice it over the vibes from when the two 12s hit, so I don't really care.

That looks right. 2 screws on top. Open shroud faces engine.

The bottom of the shroud hits the first slot on the right. The right side tab wants to go into the second. That is why I am stumped.

That's the right number. Providing you got the LHD one. Line the screws up and look below and see where the slots sit. Don't do thebslots first. Observe. IiRC my 01 has only 2 slots on the bottom not 4.

1989 XJ 4.0 170,000 on the clock. I know this subject has been beat to death but i have oil seeping at the head gasket and the block on the passenger side. I am sure my head bolts have never been retorqued would it hurt anything to retorque them or would i be opening a can of worms ? Thanks in advance guys !!

Careful. It's def opening a can of worms. But it can be done at the same with no trouble.

Might as well save some time & replace the gasket, you'll have to eventually anyway.

If I add a 6.5" lift on my 95 XJ should I have to have an adjustable trac bar and tcase drop? I have rusty a leafs and coils, all four shocks, drop pitman arm, front and back extended brake lines and ucas and Lcas that are adjustable. Need anything else?
