hey scott, are your motormounts the same height as the stock motor mounts?? could you just run 1 of your motor mounts on 1 side of the motor( driver's side i think) and use a stock mount on the other side.that way you wouldnt have soo much vibration. or at least that seems it would work[email protected] said:Idea is to fight crawler torque. If the chain is tight enough to keep the motor mount intact, but not tight enough to be tight tight all the time, it works pretty well from what I've heard. Benefits of burly motor mounts without the vibration transfer.
Yep, it'll work, but like Zags said, if you only have a strong mount on the left, and you have to back up, you could rip the right side mount doing so.Toyotafourwheeln said:hey scott, are your motormounts the same height as the stock motor mounts?? could you just run 1 of your motor mounts on 1 side of the motor( driver's side i think) and use a stock mount on the other side.that way you wouldnt have soo much vibration. or at least that seems it would work
This is why I refer people to Rockstomper. He answered the question instead of pimping his product (unlike the occasional 6x6 vendor). Even though his product was a perfect fit for the application, and an excellent one for it at that.[email protected] said:Idea is to fight crawler torque.

hey raptorman.... who makes that crossmember... i have seen it a thousand times but i cant for the life of me remember who makes it....raptorman57 said:Would a crossmember like this help with the torque of a crawler box? I would think it would cuz instead of the x-case mounted in the middle it's mounted on both sides of the frame and can't twist as easy. I'm thinking of going with this style on my truck for that reason plus the gain of ground clearence.

also... how much is it???
I'm making my own. I've got the crossmember made already,just waiting for my dual adapter so I can put it all together and weld the brackets on the framerails. I'm in the middle of building my skidplate right now. I'm gonna build something simular to this.83toy85k5 said:

Here's my writeup:Blue 84 said:Ok OK what size chain to use? I can't tell if it is 1/4" or 5/16" I would guess either one would do so......go with the 5/16"?
Uh, but the motor doesnt change rotation direction. Wont it still try to move opposite of crankhsaft rotation?zags said:You generate just as much torque in reverse as you do going forward.
You're not fighting motor torque any more. Quit thinking about it like it's a ford escort.Alabamatoy said:Uh, but the motor doesnt change rotation direction. Wont it still try to move opposite of crankhsaft rotation?
