Just go oem replacements. My stock ones have lasted darn near 20 years and I have only replaced one. No need to spend 100 bucks on motor mounts when the stock ones hold up just fine. Now if you plan on jumping your jeep or something then ya go for those haha. Sweet build by the way!!!

Thanks. I already installed these. Everyone on here seemed to have bad luck with OE replacement mounts wearing our real quick. And I like uprgrade when I need to replace stuff.

Ya that's why I got them so I don't have to worry about them. A lot of people complained about vibrations with the poly ones but I dont really feal any that's enough to bother me.

Also installed a spectra cowl intake. I didn't want to worry about sucking water into my engine and am not a big fan of snorkles so I went this route. The blue hose is temporary until I get around to cutting the stainless braided hose that came with the kit because its way to long.

The only thing I don't like about the intake is that its supposed to be a vehicle specific kit and it doesn't come with a hole for the emissions hose. You have to drill your own hole for it and install a rubber grommet and plastc elbow that's supposed to come with the kit. Well those pieces was missing in mine so I called spectra and they said they have been having a problem with the kits getting shipped out without them so they sent me the missing parts.

Will do. I've had it for a little while now and def like it. It's loud but nothing bad. I have a 10 series flowmaster, and dynomax tail pipe so I'm loud anyway.

Nice build though! Is this your trail rig or do you DD that beast?
