Quick question. Did you go with the SU2572-0HX, Super Kit, Ultra-Flex Rubber kit? Also how did you install yours? was working under the hood and noticed that my mounts have finally failed. They are finally work out

I used the rubber ones, and I didn't buy the hardware kit also so I needed to buy 4 washers for the through bolts on the mounts (the instructions say to tighten till the washers can't spin then back off till they can). I took the air box out and started with the drivers side using a jack on the oil pan, then did the passenger side. Not too bad. I hope this answers your questions. If it doesn't let me know and I'll try to better explain.

oh and if you have trouble getting the through bolts back through I'd suggest putting a screwdriver through and kinda wiggling it around. And while you're at it you should do the trans mount too.

Was planning on replacing that while I was in there. Where did you get yours from?

I just went up to oreillys and got a stock rubber mount. You aren't supposed to mix rubber and poly, and I wasn't 100% which mount to get so I just went in oreillys because I could physically hold it and see it.

Well I haven't done much on my jeep in a while, but I soon will be locked front and rear with no slips. Once it comes in and I get it put in I'll update.

Next week is spring break which means jeep time. Plan is to get the locker in, oil change, bumpstops and maybe more depending on what I find, or need to do by then.

Last week or so I've had this random problem. My jeep will crank and crank and crank but won't start, I'll pump the gas and it'll finally start and when it starts it smells really really rich. Think an inject might be leaking?

Well I'm going to be getting some new tires sometime soon, almost worn out my bfg at kos. I have some questions if anyone follows this. Any recommendations of similar tires? I want a good a/t. It's a daily driver so street performance is important, but I want something that will do pretty good offroad too. Should I just go with ko2 or another brand/tire?

have you had them long enough to tell how they wear? And do you know how loud they are compared to a bfg a/t? Good road manners?

I liked my duractracs but the ko2s look like a great cross of the duratrac and ko1. Only complaint on the duratracs are the 2-ply sidewalls vs the 3-ply ko2
