What did you do to your TJ today?

Replaced body mounts on my '05 LJ over the weekend. Amazing how much better the ride is now. No more snap and pop every time I turn or hit a small bump in the road. I was able to get all bolts out without any issues. soaked with PB B'laster. That stuff is amazing at penetrating up the threads!

Did you install it on the header properly?
Yeah, the pockets are behind the straps that hold the center of the top to roll cage. I thought maybe I had strapped them wrong, but can only go one way... and have to loosen the speaker pods to work the straps between. With those straps loose, it fits nice and flat though... just can't use the sunrider that way... The front section is nice and tight, with no creases or wrinkles, and most of the back section too... just the pocket on each side.

What’s the purpose of putting in a bigger motor mount?… just for transfer case clearance issues?..or does it offer other benefits….
It does a couple things, mainly changes the angle of the motor, tranny, xfercase from a horizontal plane —- to more of an up angle / albeit not as drastic as the slashes and dashes on my keyboard make it out to be. So, 1. when someone puts in a body lift, the radiator shroud is supposed to be relocated so it doesn't interfere with the engine fan. The MML raises the engine fan enough that you can leave the radiator shroud in its normal spot. AND 2. When someone does a suspension lift or tummy tuck, the angle on the upper driveshaft Ujoint becomes more severe and can cause vibrations going down the road. Lifting the motor a bit and putting the drive train at more of an up angle, reduces the severity of the angle that the driveline ujoint has to deal with thus no more vibration.
