Motor mounts are about 90% of idle vibes

Yep, sounds are definitely unique, for example I can tell the difference between an AK47 and AR 10. Both .30 caliber but AK sound is so unique.

Like I said, read the entire post, I am not deleting my catalytic converters attached to 02 sensors in any way. I am thinking about removing the "THIRD" catalytic converter which is not attached to any 02 sensor. Therefore, my vehicle would still pass NEVADA STATE, emissions. No we do not have...

This guy must be in law enforcement. He is more concerned about laws than anything mentioned about Jeeps! Next!

Thank you for your reply, as for the Federal Law, in the bigger picture of all of the Federal/ State/ and Local fraud, waste and abuse, my catalytic converter is the least of all the worries for the federal government. They need to worry about their own departmental issues before coming after a...

I don't think many of you are reading the entire post. I am specifically talking about removing the "third" catalytic converter which is located closer to the transfer case. This catalytic converter does not communicate with 02 sensors the way the other two converters do. Anyways, thanks for all...

My recommendation from personal experience would be Rough Country Bumpers

Has anyone removed the third downstream catalytic converter from their 2003-2006 TJ? If so, are there any benefits or side effects from the removal?

My wife's mini-van is more comfortable with a lot more gadgets but I still prefer driving my rugged TJ with manual 5 speed and wind noise. If I wanted gadgetry and comfort, I'd buy a car. Nice looking truck though. Enjoy!

Sorry, but it has the ugly jeep vibes! Jeeps need to stay with jeep vibes and leave this type of hard tops to the land rover crowd. Not hating on land rovers but we drive Jeeps.

Chris, since we are on the topic of durability, How long, in your opinion, will a 5 speed NV3550 transmission last? With proper maintenance

For the life of me I have not figured out why auto manufactures can't just make a simple retro type vehicle with current emission standards less all the other junk. Like make a retro Jeep wrangler with a basic modern in line 6 cylinder mated to a simple auto or 5speed and go ahead with the...

Ill pass! All the technology on these new Jeeps is exactly why we keep driving our old TJs. No thanks!

Chris is absolutely correct, I have had both AX-15 and NV3550 currently on my current jeep TJ, the AX was on my YJ. Chris, folks are liking the "idea" of a 6 speed tranny without the specific knowledge on reliability.

Chris I have do you know if Rancho makes a TJ shock for 6" lift. I have not found any yet. By the way, as always, thank you for your thoughtful reply.
