Who here has failed motor mounts on a D2?

[gmookher]

Gem might have been interested in the social aspect of failing motor mounts.

well if its not broken yet on my rigg, and I dont know if it exists, is it tech? didnt mean to post something that may actually add vallue...LOL

My point was, Gem, if I have to break it to you, that a person who off-roads his vehicle regularly and on difficult terrain, not having broken engine or transmission mounts is similar to winning a lottery.
Jack called you on that, and you decided to have a poll, in a thinly veiled manner.
If you wanted to get some tech info, you'd have posted it in the tech section.

 

[gmookher]

point well taken, seriously

gotta laugh:rofl: breaking shit on a truck is not a merit badge...

90% of the time that a newb breaks shit is because the driver doesn't follow the advice of the more experienced ones...

motor mounts break because of constant flexing that comes with a shitload of off roading. It's actually one of the things you check on a on/off road truck to see if it's been beat to shit...

I checked mine last weekend. But that's 'cause I'm hardcore.

That's after he eats his cookies and gets some sugar in him.

Maybe someone should design some poly mounts. Then you could rip the bolts right out of that aluminum block.

I am but it's spelled XTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it's been such a common issue with V8 jeeps, that upgraded mounts (that will stay together, albeit with slack) became the only replacement that parts stores carried.
There's no reason why rover mounts can't be made the same way.
Get two bolts, weld two fender washers and two links of chain to them, and pot them in polyurethane.

Long awaited !

I give you the D2 Qt motor mount :applause:

Who wants to be the first in america with a set?

They are $210 for the set.

 

[FIVESPDDISCO]

Set side by side with the D1/RRC mounts, the D2 mount dwarfs the D1/RRC

 

[fordbuilder98]

sweet now just have to get a D2.

 

[benlittle]

I've swapped two motor mounts on my DII. I blame driving with Marc, Lane, Justin...

 

[gmookher]

sounds like a worthwhile upgrade, very cool, PM Sent

 

[cptyarderho]

Nomar has a set on his RRC, the older ones. Seem to be worth it if you go thru them. I like QT stuff myself, I am eyeballin' a rear diffguard.

 

[Nomar]

Yep, I went through 3 stock motor mounts in a little over a year I think, then switched to QTs. They will outlast the truck...

 

[gmookher]

So any pointers/how to for installing these now that they are on their way to me?

Let us all know how the install goes once you get them, I will order some once we get some good feedback on them for the D2

thanks,
