X2,How much effort is this set up compared to the other common awd swap technique? |

I think this would be easier to do and it would be lighter I think too John. |

I have my colt I can jig off of.The only effort it turning the bracket sideways to slide the rear mount past the diff.The bolt up. |

Yeah that looks just like mine, only you put way more bends in to keep it tighter. It's pretty damn easy to do it this way. It took me about 4-6 hours If i remember correctly. I just wanted to keep my tow hooks. I imagine they will come in handy someday! |

I kept my toehooks, just welded the proper dia. piece of thick walled tubing to them. |

Quote: That is a simple, nice looking piece you have there. Miragetbo, what fabrication technique did you use to help jig that crossmember?
Well I dunno about the simple bit but it does look very well built and I really like the idea of the stock bushed ends on it to reduce vibration. Looks very good... |

I believe those are black prothane mounts. |

The rear motor mount is a Prothane.The front motor mount is stock,but filled with window-weld.The mounting points to the chassis are stock.This can only be done if you hack up a whole stock crossmember to get the tips. |

It was the crossmember mounts I was speaking of, not the engine mounts.

So is there any plan to produce these? |

I make them as people need them.I just completed a set last week and sent it out Tuesday.But I sent out a whole mount setup.For the front and the rear.If I make one just like Tim's, I need tips off the factory crossmember and some solid mounts.Tim supplied these .If I do it without the extras,it will have stock mounts and hard brackets to bolt up to the front.Ive also decided to make the front mount bolt on to the crossmember I made. |

I have a new setup.This crossmember gains more clearance for the transfer case.Once I figure how to bolt up the rear mount,install should be cake.Right now you have to finess it past the transfer case.As soon as I figure out how to post pics,I'll have the new one up. |

Hey, is the one you just completed for me the old or new version? All I am waiting for is my new clutch stuff and your crossmember and I will be hitting my AWD swap hard. |
