Thanks for checking in and glad to hear that car is getting driven, it is a nice car.  Can you provide pictures of the mirror you added?  Thanks!

Not to step on his toes, but here's a build thread that he has on the car. The mirrors are on page 4

Stuff I have done in no particular order: the 4.0 is now fuel injected using factory 91-95 parts, has a np229 from a '89 Grand Wagoneer, Dana 35 from a '01 Cherokee, 3.54 gears, a Honda clutch reservoir, Installed a XJ trailer hitch, full length XJ add-a-leaf, replaced the tachometer with an aftermarket one, added a high mount brake light under the rear glass, modified 3rd gen Dodge Challenger side view mirrors and mounted them (drivers side only right now).


My first thought when I saw this comment was, "whoa, another MJ guy". Then I put two and two together

Got the transmission mount changed over the weekend and it has made a huge difference in the vibration and noise I have been trying to figure out for the last 6 years.

Also pulled and resealed the transfer case. The front seal was leaking and fluid was leaking past the splines of the output yokes.
