Honestly as long as they are tight your good, if one of your motor mount was actually out you would know. your whole jeep would shake and vibrate pretty bad, but if they are rotting you should replace them.

There was no rubber left in my motor mounts when I replaced them. It's not going to fall out.

i have a 89 cherokee it will start easily and it can reeve in park or neutral but when you shift it into drive or reverse it will shut off. Also (its been doing this since i got it) you smell gas when you drive it any ideas?

I'd say it's the same process, but you rivet or seal instead of welding, like he said. Welding will be better and stronger, but I don't think you'd have trouble either way. Watch out for the pinch seams, though, if you aren't rewelding.

I'm not really sure whether or not this belong in this thread but I have a problem with my headlights. Awhile back the low beams stopped working and I found a short in the plug connected to the light switch. I swapped out the plug, rewired everything and changed the fuse but they still won't work. The high beams work fine so I'm really not sure what else I could be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
