After installing the Driver mount I will tell you on the renix engine it is not a direct bolt on you will have to modify the driver bracket. you will need a 5 inch cut off disk or grinding disk on a cut off wheel, to remove the access metal that keeps the Iron man mounts from sliding in. It is quite a task but I promise you once it is done it is time and money well spent!

Get rid of those nankang tires NOW. I bought a set for my some's XJ, they last about 15k miles.
Replace all of the motor mount bracket bolts (the ones in the engine block) with new grade 8 bolts. The stock hardware is prone to snapping off, adding hard poly mounts practically guarantees it will happen.

Sorry not going to just get rid of the tires after just dropping 750 bucks on them, but mileage isn't a huge concern of mine. I have had the mj for 6 months now and put 1000 miles on it. The truck is a toy. Plus with in a year I will have the new lift on and be in the market for a set of 35s. Prob going to go with some toyos or mtrs. As far as the bolts go I tried to replace them. Spent all day finding them around town in grade 8s to come home and find the size was a tad off. So I was impatient and put the old ones back on. I didNt know that the bolts were a weak point. I guess down the road I will be replacing them. Oh well, you live and learn......
