Here I was thinking that was a side-effect of driving a YJ

Finished installing my motor mounts and put the transmission mount in. Old one looked ok, just a slight lean to the side. Thought it was gangster I guess. My little Dewalt 20v impact wrench didn't want to take one of the crossmember bolts off, I had to use a wrench... I guess I should just buy the big one with as much torque as a normal air impact wrench. Will come in handy for the lift .

Didn't drive it more than to back up, sweep the driveway, and pull back in. But even doing that I could feel a very positive difference. Used ironman Andy's motor mounts and an O'Reillys transmission mount.

Ironman Fab mounts are good. I run Brown Dogs on mine, but they're pretty similar. Really beefy construction and the bushings are easier to replace than having to change the mounts. Check out the Brown Dog motor mount brackets too... uses more bolts than the factory mounts to spread out the stress on the brackets. If you're hard on the throttle or wheeling it hard, it's possible to snap off bolts in the block using the OEM brackets and aftermarket mounts.

I thought about getting those. Ironman sells those now too. For now I'm just fixing /upgrading parts to get it all running right. Next up is banks torque tube Headers and the 99+ intake (might as well change the intake while I've got it off to fix the cracked exhaust manifold? Lol) and then I've got the valve cover gasket and oil filter adapter. Hoping it's just those two that are leaking...

Ah... didn't know ironman had started making those. That's cool.

If you're going to upgrade to the 99+ intake, make sure you get the head shield that goes on top of the intake or you'll be trying to figure out why you have heat soak. Either get the heat shield or get some spark plug boot insulators and wrap the fuel rail and injectors in them.

Do you mean under the intake? I think I'm just going to get it coated. I'm getting the Headers ceramic coated. If it's not much for the intake I'll just do it.

It was a TSB/recall/whatever. Dealership installed it on my '01 at no charge when I went there for something else
