LHD, frame side mount at passenger rear, axle mount driver rear.
I may have worded my first statement wrong, the axle is shifted to the driver side.
Driver side gap between frame/wheel is 2", passenger side gap is 1" (+/-).
What did you do to your TJ today?

Hope they did you right. I'm from Amarillo which is on I-40, the first East/West highway.
Added some grab bars. Stay tuned for more.
Replaced Upper & Lower Control Arms (front) with Rubicon Express Adjustible's:
Patched it for $8. We are in Emory, an hour East of Dallas on I-80.

Been considering one of these. Between the better half and my dad both having hip/knee issues I've noticed even without a lift on my TJ they can have trouble getting in (neither uses the grab bar above the glove box).
Cleaned, replaced gear oil and changed Dana 35 differential cover plate to match the front Dana 30
Finished the install on a couple minor things so they looked cleaner, then cleared the junk/garbage out of my back seat. This lead me to lean even more toward removing the back seat once the winter weather ends for the season.
Then since its Saturday took the weekly road trip to visit friends.

Well this has been a couple week adventure, but I got it done tonight.
Replaced freeze plugs, Clutch, FLywheel, Fork, pivot, front trans seal, trans fluid, intake and exhaust gasket, waterpump. tstat, and all of the hoses and coolant.
Finally drove it out of the shop tonight no leaks!

Great job, that's a lot of work! And even better to have no leaks!
This is stupid, I'm not replacing another dang cap everytime I change the oil.
Found a nicely shaped piece of ice that fits around the cap to cool it though.

I just discovered this problem. Went to add oil after I got back from buying a new dipstick and couldn't get the dumb cap off. Had to wait about 2 hours or so, for the motor to cool off. I was thinking, sure hope I don't need to add oil during a trip somewhere. Hate to have to wait a few hours to get back on the road. So I'm guessing they don't make a normal cap that doesn't have the 'click' feature? LOL
I have been thinking about getting some of those. How do you like them? They pretty much out of the way as far as entering and exiting? They just appear to stick out kind of far, but it's hard to tell in pics.
Took the bumper off, removed the bumperettes up front, cleaned and painted it and the two hooks with the same paint as the grill. Also used the plastic heating trick on the sway bar cover and it worked out pretty good I think. Today I will finally install the spark plugs that have been sitting on my work bench for weeks.
I have to get used to using them. I’d always grab the steering wheel when getting in the Jeep and I wanted to get away from that habit. Everyone seems to love them so I thought I’d try them. I replaced the factory screws with a hex head style bolt and will paint them at some point.I have been thinking about getting some of those. How do you like them?
