: YJ 2.5L motor mount questions TexasBlake 03-25-2002, 09:28 AM I bent the aluminum bracket on my passenger side motor mount that goes between the distributer and the alternator. I started looking for replacement motor mounts like the Bombproof etc, but I dont know if they come with this bracket. Does anyone know of any aftermarket motor mounts that come with the bracket as well as the motor mounts, or a good place to find one. Thanks Blake bignslow 03-25-2002, 09:52 AM the bracket is a dealer only, and is cheap. the motor mounts you can get anywhere.. bomb proof style. the 6 cyl are the same for the 2.5. none of them come with the bracket for the 2.5.

Jake TexasBlake 03-25-2002, 10:13 AM I've already called most of the jeep junkyards near texas that were listed in a previous post about building a jeep junkyard list. THey told me it would be hard to find a used one because they break easyly. Does anyone have any list of high dollar jeep custom shops that do V-8 conversions and stuff, i was thinking they may have one from a conversion they had done. If they bothered keeping it. Also, do the Bombproofs have any guarantee or warranty?

Dude, I don't mean to talk outta school here, but can't you just talk to a local welder and have him fab something outta angle iron for you--or better yet, just weld it up yourself... Just think of the sense of accomplishment! Besides, if these things are so prone to breakage, if you put in another stock one, it'll probably just snap again anyhow... Trying to help, Jake bigdude 03-25-2002, 10:49 AM I got a little lost when you mentioned the distributor and alternator but I think I got ya. If you are speaking of the aluminum piece sandwiched between the frame extension and actual motor mount, here's what I did. Mine broke so I pulled it out. The I ordered the 1" lift motor mounts from MORE. I then drilled the frame extension to accept the mount (two holes, real simple). I installed the 1" lift motor mount on the passenger side and kept the drivers side with a stock 4.0 mount (even though I have a 2.5L). Everything lined up decent and level, no problems to date and this is months ago. It'll cost you a set of MORE 1" lift mounts and a stock 4.0 mount for the drivers side, but it works and will last. :beer: :beer: :beer: thenodnarb 03-25-2002, 05:35 PM if its the actual bracket, heres what I did... check out the post in the following link. if pics dont load and the link dont work, then some guy posted the correct link farther down in the post. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38784 bignslow 03-25-2002, 05:51 PM the bracket is like 15$.. and its beefer than the old one.. jeepik 03-25-2002, 06:38 PM Originally posted by bignslow the bracket is like 15$.. and its beefer than the old one.. yup that's what i was going to say..the factory bracket is really thin, go to the dealer the replcament ones they sell now are super beefy and wont break TexasBlake 03-25-2002, 08:35 PM $15 where!
