Did this fix eliminate the rattle? I still have that same exhaust/passenger side front control arm frame mount rattle and it’s quite annoying.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Drove down the road to get gas and saw another leak! After heavy rock crawling last month they just keep springing up 
Not to highjack,but when I did it sure did ,I just stuck a crow bar in between the Frame and above the exhaust and jacked up the other end forcing the exhaust pipe down and then heating the cat brace up until it was down far enough.i now have 2 inches below the pass l.c.mount but it also moved my tailpipe back from where it was hitting the rear shock after my Currie rear shock relocation kit.from the pinion angle change,it worked like a charm!!
I had originally planned on drilling a second set of holes but yes, the ribs keep it solid and from rotating, I just had to hone out the factory holes a tad to slip an M10 bolt through.
Yes the exhaust clears the mount by at least 1.5" or so. Smooth and quiet.
Thanks! Looks like I’ll be doing this in the next few days
The only thing I would have done different is heat up the exhaust a bit just to make it a bit more pliable for the shortened mount. I got it to work but it took some persuasion. Also, when you cut the bracket in half, make sure that the piece with the exhaust bushing sits between the original mount and the cat.
I did whatever @Jamison C did. Just not as good.
Not what I did, but what I’m going to do next weekend.
I told you the neck was the best place man.
Did nothing today. It is still in my garage, leaking transmission fluid from the radiator.
Rock crawl in a Mates jeep is the answer! Its a bit like the best boat is a mates boat.Drove down the road to get gas and saw another leak! After heavy rock crawling last month they just keep springing up
Do the TJ auto,s have a transmission cooler connected to the cooling system like aussie ford 6 banger Barra motors?
I’ve had this in my cart for the past week. I think I may have to order mine today. Damn this forum!
There is section on the bottom of the radiator, that is cooling the transmission. Does not really cool well, but does does leak sometimes
Does that work for wives too?Rock crawl in a Mates jeep is the answer! Its a bit like the best boat is a mates boat.
Drop the Jeep off at the tire store this morning to have the Mickey Thompson MTZ’s mounted and balanced, these are the tires that came from @BonesXX that @Hog picked up for @AndyG I got them from AndyG and planned on getting another set of wheels to swap tires for wheeling trips and then street driving. Since the insurance repaired instead of totaling my Nissan, I don't have to swap back and forth!!!!!! Kind of a win win.
They are older, 2012 tires. No cracks no dry rot, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea to run this old of tire, but they are going to be mostly off road with limited on pavement travels.
