 Gang,
I was under the jimny today just doing a spanner check after the weekend making sure nothing was broken or loose(I did have some other damage  ), but anyway i did see that the transfer case mount on the passenger's side has been hitting the floor...it has left a big dent in the floor...but that's not the issue. The issue is how is the t-case mount hitting the floor?
All the bolt's are tight and there is no unusual free play that i can feel.....so how is the whole thing twisting over when under load if the bolt is tight and the rubber mount is still in tact?  It's got me buggered how's it doing it....
Cheers!

mine was doing the same thing so got stronger mounts
rubber will stretch a fair way when under a large amount of strain
