sure there isnt a problem with your engine flexing too much?

[Wermz84]

Just courious, but where and how do they keep breaking?   Would that welded chain mod help?

[Hottrod81]

I think that I might have the same problem.  Do you have a link to the chain mod?

[DTB]

check here.....

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459180 motor mount tech...its not hard....just weld a small section of chain from the bracket onto the frame

Yeah Ive done the chain trick and Ive still broken 6 motor mounts in the last year.

Something isn't right. How well is your tcase mounted?

Only thing not right is dual cases and fully getting it....

Both cases have a mount on them too.

[MR_DIY]

try bolting your motor mounts this time then.  there is a "how to" in the pirate FAQ.
If I broke 6 mounts in a year I'd invest in the LC Engineering ones though and take a good look at my driveline etc...

the chain doesnt have to be welded,  i use grade 8 bolts, and if you are still breaking mounts  the chain  aint tight enough

[burnyota]

solid motor mounts from LC-$325....i think not.

i just got mine in from hendrix motorsports, and they seem fine

[Hyena]

3 links of chain and weld them so they are tight.  no way will it break again.  thats what mine are.  the first time i flopped my truck i broke a mount.  i did the chain thing and i have flopped it 5 more times with no broken mounts.  and my t-case mount has been broken for some time now but they chain actually helps that part too.  i have a new t-case crossmember i need to put in so that will take care of the broken t-case mount too.

RUGER got some rockstomper motor mounts ($75 for set) fairly easy to install and solid.    he's runnging 2.28 duals, with a factory crossmember mounted to the crawl box.  The new mounts work great

I would chain them myself (I did)

haha ya i didnt know they were that much either when i posted that! The LC site was down at the time lol 

[KYOTA]

drill them out and run a half inch bolt thru them

[Wermz84]

This is all good stuff.  I just couldn't remember where the FAQ was for the chain link mod.   


Those LC mounts didn't use to be that much
