I've got Zone ones. They've been on there for 3 or 4 years without any issues.

I'm glad that they worked for you. I replaced my 30+ year old stockers with Anchor Engine mounts and their transmission mount. They were so soft that on bumpy roads the transmission would pop out of gear from the shifter hitting the tunnel. Luckily MOPAR mounts were still available at the time, I swapped them out to OEM and fixed the problem. Before the OEM mounts, I tried M.O.R.E. mounts that use a Clevite rubber control arm bushing. They practically rattled my teeth out.

I went through 2 Interstates in just as many years. I think the vibration off-road I was killing them. We've got a few years ton the replacement O'Reilly AGM and it's still working well.

I've got an Amazon one although it's probably not needed after swapping to the newer valve cover with a drastically improved oil separator system. Even after Cruiser 54's mods, it would use a half quart of oil every 1000 miles and the air intake tube would be oily inside. No noticable oil use now and a very small amount in the catch can.

No, they have been in there and most of my other old vehicles for years with no issues. They all have been changed to electronic flashers, but I usually run those regardless.

I used these adapters with my factory cables. Barnes also sells some cheaper, but I haven't used them. https://www.theflopshopoffroad.com/products/ford-8-8-swap-e-brake-cable-adapters https://barnes4wd.com/products/parking-brake-cable-adapter?srsltid=AfmBOoqzjiDekT2DmC0vnHk8EUWQNp2NOMBCiznUMtLt65Mkup9Tmzig

Next up, a new Spartan Helical limited slip in the front, a Ford Performance LSD with carbon clutches for the 8.8 and 4.56 gears to replace the 3.73's. I've just spent 2 days setting up the new front gears in the XJ, so I'm not super excited to jump into this. 😬 The Spartan "lunchbox locker" that's currently in the MJ was terrifying on icy roads at higher speeds. There wasn't enough friction for the locker to disengage, so when you turned it just slid.

I hit mine with the paint buffer and put in some "Plasma LED's". I've put them in most of my old cars to try and be more visible. I did not have a good experience with the Sylvania parts store bulbs when I tried them. LED bulb in the top, standard in the bottom.

The "frame" was getting a few cracks in the steering box mounting area. That was the reason that I'd installed the brace a few years ago and it seems to have done its job of keeping it from getting worse. It was time for a proper repair though the best solution that I found was the T&M Metal Fab inner brace that wraps around and has a built in spacer. I had to remove the radiator to weld it in, after the cracks had been welded. It also comes with a passenger side brace, but that will have to wait until the engine is out, someday. I also bought a frame plate kit for the full front, but got lazy and only used the outer steering box piece for now. Sometime when I have to pull the frontend apart I'll do the rest. https://www.t-mfab.com/store-3/?model_number=4761900

I bought this one for my XJ. All in all, it fit pretty good, the very edge where it meets the grill header panel seemed a little off. I've by pretty disappointed with most Crown parts, they usually seem like low quality parts at a premium price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B076CHYMKC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It sounds like you've got it covered, but Amazon has them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7BFMD92?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

I saw a post in a Facebook forum once where someone was claiming that this style would work. I don't remember if it was ever proven though.

You're probably tired of seeing mine. 😂 This was on our 2900 mile Nevada adventure last September.

Thanks!

The Mojave Road is one of my all time favorites. We've done it twice in the MJ, but there are some cool side trips that we missed and also the East Mojave route that we haven't done. Not particularly difficult, but an epic variety of scenery and cabins and homesteads if you do your research. We haven't made it to Utah yet, in the Jeep at least. Lippencott pass and Titus Canyon in Death Valley were pretty neat too. High Rock Canyon NV is another favorite. We don't usually do particularly difficult trails and we're normally thousands of miles from home and by ourselves. Even though the MJ is no showpiece, it's been in the family for well over 30 years and I don't plan on that ending any time soon.
