The motor mounts are welded in?!. No.. As for crossmember, thr AX4/AX5 crossmember is different from the AX15. Why do they need another crossmember?

You can still get motor mounts. Also Brown Dog makes a set as well. Your pic looks more like a trans mount bracket that the mount and exhaust hanger bolts to.

Good morning guys. Nice one Walt. Whats with your headlights? Ordered new UCAs and poly bushings for my axle. I don't know why everyone all of a sudden has a hard on for 4BT swapping. I must have gotten 4-5 calls on "How much will it cost?" And "I want that engine." Honestly, a TDi swap is cheaper and easier not to mention it doesnt weigh as much as their Jeep.

Those poly ones are good?
I thought the 4bt were always famous just no one is is experienced to swap it and the $$$$ to acquire the parts....
The tdi conversion is new but same as always the experience to swap it...
