Build a jig and start producing!
X2,

How much effort is this set up compared to the other common awd swap technique?

I think this would be easier to do and it would be lighter I think too John. :D

I have my colt I can jig off of.The only effort it turning the bracket sideways to slide the rear mount past the diff.The bolt up.

Yeah that looks just like mine, only you put way more bends in to keep it tighter. It's pretty damn easy to do it this way. It took me about 4-6 hours If i remember correctly. I just wanted to keep my tow hooks. I imagine they will come in handy someday!

I kept my toehooks, just welded the proper dia. piece of thick walled tubing to them.

That is a simple, nice looking piece you have there. Miragetbo, what fabrication technique did you use to help jig that crossmember?

Well I dunno about the simple bit but it does look very well built and I really like the idea of the stock bushed ends on it to reduce vibration. Looks very good... :supz:

I believe those are black prothane mounts.

The rear motor mount is a Prothane.The front motor mount is stock,but filled with window-weld.The mounting points to the chassis are stock.This can only be done if you hack up a whole stock crossmember to get the tips.

It was the crossmember mounts I was speaking of, not the engine mounts.:D

So is there any plan to produce these?

I make them as people need them.I just completed a set last week and sent it out Tuesday.But I sent out a whole mount setup.For the front and the rear.If I make one just like Tim's, I need tips off the factory crossmember and some solid mounts.Tim supplied these .If I do it without the extras,it will have stock mounts and hard brackets to bolt up to the front.Ive also decided to make the front mount bolt on to the crossmember I made.

I have a new setup.This crossmember gains more clearance for the transfer case.Once I figure how to bolt up the rear mount,install should be cake.Right now you have to finess it past the transfer case.As soon as I figure out how to post pics,I'll have the new one up.

Hey, is the one you just completed for me the old or new version? All I am waiting for is my new clutch stuff and your crossmember and I will be hitting my AWD swap hard.
