I snag extra's from the JY. I always try to have a good assortment of nuts/bolts on hand.

 

Dang. JY would have been real easy.

Oh well.

 

Sorry 'bout that Gee oh Dee. "Butter Bolt" is a term me and my buds used to use to describe any old ungraded fastener we could find that would thread-up when we had no other choice.

I just went through it when doing my track bar. I broke the bolt at the axle tube and couldn't get my hands on a 10.9 replacement right away so I opted for a SS grade #8 "butter bolt" as a temporary solution (as in 2 days in that application - nothing more). Normally, I'd never consider using a stainless in a suspension app like that but it was a desperate time because I had no alternative transportation for getting into work the next day.

 

Uh...not sure what you are assuming or where the assumptions came from but I am not using crap I had sitting around the garage.

I ordered exactly what was needed from fastenal, I have to wait til wednesday. Not what I wanted as I wanted to be finished tonight, but it is what it is.

The Jeep is not my only form of transport, so the Cherokee is sitting under a large tarp with its motor gingerly suspended above the frame rails.

 

Got the new hardened metric bolts yesterday, got everything back together.

Not too noticable of a difference, but the starter cycling when I go to start it def resonates throughthe rest of the vehicle much more!

 

I think the originals were still ok......

 

**** those don't look that bad. Both of mine no longer had any rubber in the top half.

 

Compared to the crap I was running those look nice!

What mounts are you running now?

 

The sleeve does come out of mine, those look real close to mine.


I went with Iron Man motor mounts. I may have gone woth Brown Dog if I had to do it again, but IDK. They yellow pisses me off.

Yeah, the yellow takes a little getting used to, but having the 2.8L my options were limited. I've been very happy with my Brown Dogs though, yellow and all. I was thinking about getting a set of the Iron Man mounts for the other Jeep to compare them, but I really like Brown Dogs Super Kit for the 4.0L. You probably haven't had enough seat time with them yet, but what are your opinions so far?

Edit: Derp, saw you already posted not much of a difference. My bad.

 

They could always be painted.

 

they wont stay yellow haha. Mine are black already haha. Brown Dog had the best customer service ever. your old mounts looked brand new compared to mine lol. the bushing was in 3 pieces and the metal was in 4 pieces on drivers side.
