I just installed a set of Metalcloak Duroflex aluminum control arms on the tj. WOW! It is unbelievable how smooth and quiet the Jeep is now. It was obvious just pulling it out of the shop on the gravel, and on the road it is a whole different animal! The adjustability will make setting caster and pinion angle a snap. Wish I had done this sooner!
Replaced my dented up bumper on my 05 with a 2008-2012 bumper. Turned out pretty good, sticks out just a tad far though. One day Ill drop the mounts and drill new holes. Other than that it lined up just fine.
I need to do body mounts BAD. I am thinking about going with poly, I can't swing the $400+ OEM rubber mounts right now. I just hate that I have heard about fitment issues and squeaks. The stiff ride from poly mounts doesn't bother me... its a driving brick, not a Cadillac. Anyone put poly mounts in their trucks?

Yeah they are trashed. Tried to get a picture but by the time I get to my truck every day its dark.
Its two rubber mounts that sandwich the metal mount on the frame. The lower rubber mount has completely disintegrated and fell off 3 of the 6 cab mounts. (I haven't even looked at the radiator support mounts so not sure if they are shot). Its about to fall of of 2 others. The big rubber puck above the body mount is crumbling away on almost every one. Its like something started eating away at the rubber. I have awful squeeks and the cab moves around way too much. Going over bumps its like the truck is bottoming out every time.
Joe (or anyone else) have you guys heard what the differences are between the kevlar and regular poly mounts from energy suspension? If the kevlar gets rid of that poly squeek I'll jump all over those. The stiffness doesn't bother me, it rides like a brick anyway.
