It’s like plastic surgery. Takes a few days to get used to the new face, but it’s growing on me.

Sounds typical. I had the same with the dogs and Savvy MUA. Hard to remember what things were like with just the dogs. At least I’ve got a virtually stock setup outside I can drive for comparison with how things are now..

The little guy! That was Dec 2016.

Now if I can just get my cooler in and my engine skid on I can wheel it!
You're gonna cry like a little baby first time you scratch those beauties up, lol!

Could have saved about $15k if I just left it alone, but where would the fun be in that?!

I’ve got a healthy amount of Hevea 1.5” thick Butcher Block. If anyone wants to send me specs I can cut and route a cutting board for you or your wife for very minimal charge + shipping.
The long strip is 96”x8.5”x1.5”. The larger square piece is 23”x21”x1.5”. Disregard the little block! As long as it’s within those constraints I can make you something. I can add some mineral oil if you like, but that’s also normal maintenance.
I can route the top edges or leave square. If you would like it customized for your sink area we can work out dimensions. No need for this nice hardwood to just sit in my garage waiting for a project 10 years from now..

@PNW_LJ Tested the two TJ’s for vibes at idle in R, N, and D while pushing the brake pedal. The stock rig almost has no discernible vibes at R, N, or D. I can see the Chrysler engineers piling on more and more rubber on the stock MM till they got rid of all vibes.
The Savvy MUA/MORE rig has slight vibes in N and slightly more vibes in R or D.
Both setups are significantly better than what I had with the BDogs.
I think the Savvy MUA transmission mount contributes vibes at idle, but they are very livable IMO.

I have some mint AEV pintlers in storage for when I make the jump to 33s and this statement is accurate lol.
Very interesting, makes sense for the Savvy UA to add vibes. Still, I think we gotta compare our rigs in person, since this is all so relative.
Vibes are kinda like tinnitus. You don’t notice it, until you think about it.
Speaking of which, this comment chain has brought back my attention to the vibes these past 2 days. Thanks Jeremy!

It was crazy how vibration free the stock rig was. Even from the old days it’s been remarked that the Savvy MUA adds vibes. Nothing like the UCF Lo-Pro mount, but vibes nonetheless.
Very happy not to have the Brown Dogs though. That was ridiculous vibes.
Can’t wait to meet up. I’d love to drive your LJ.

Blame the rocks. Imagine how much you'd save if you were addicted to fire roads.
