Scotty, move over. Finally, someone like Martin comes along and talks to me without shouting and I'm a two-year-old. Great video, informative and a solution all in one. Thanks, Martin Two thumbs up and I'm subscribed.
Doing this project right now and loving this video. Works on the mounts for a 4.0 too, see martinbuilts other video, he does a slight modification of the mount bushing, but it's great!
Thank you Brian, yeah after it's all said and done I was thinking I should have used one of those totally spaced it. An air hammer probably would have drove it out of there a lot quicker.
I keep seeing all your cool things. This is one I really need to do. As you can imagine I have a tremendous amount of engine torque gong on. I have a limiting rod I have to finish as well.
hi martin, i mounted those inserts last year and had a very bad experience, after less than 1 year they were already in bad shape.since i don't know what happened to wear out those so quickly I made 2 new metal bushing with tighter fit with the lathe to give them another shot. not happy also with prothane as company since they are almost impossible to contact. hopefully now they will really last forever, it knot i will go back to OEM design
@@martinbuilt 🤔😂😂😂 good way to look at it. I’ve had mustangs with solid (metal) mounts and big cams so I totally understand vibrations. But realistically as smooth as the 4.7 runs, how much vibration came after this install? I figure you did the trans mount as well?
@@martinbuilt would you happen to have oem motor mounts. If so can you post bolt hole dimensions(center to center. Staying away from the Anchor brand from Advance Auto. Going with Napa's balkamp brand.
@@madmacc040 yeah the ones that I used to put the prothane inserts in were Factory motor mounts love to give you the measurements but I already installed them in my Jeep
Great video! I wish I knew this before replacing both my motor mounts. Does this work the same on the 545rfe mount 4WD? Is it the same size? Still need to change that one out. Thanks!
D.W. here. Martin, Questions :1st- In the title, you say this fix/mod is for the 93-98 ZJ and WJ. Then you mention that its for the V8 engine mounts so, could you clarify please. Will this motor mount mod work on 1st gen. ZJ'S with Inline 6-4.0L engine's? Specifically, a 95 ZJ GCL 4wd? Also, someone in comments asked if it will work for the 42re transmission mount? Can I get an AMEN? Looks as though I'll need to do all three myself and this looks like a good bit of effort for a long term result so Im gonna give this a go. I'm new to building/restoring Jeep ZJs and have been following your channel to learn. Thanks for the great content and cheerful demeanor. Your attitude and presentation goes a long way to keeping me cheerful while tackling these challenging diy repairs. Especially when, being in my mid fifties, contorting into unnatural body positions to get toloosen and tighten bolts and using muscles I forgot I had, causing "motorhead aches" I never experienced in my 20s thru 40s. Oh well, we gotta still, "git er done". Keeping an attitude of gratitude. Thanks again for all you do Martin!
after looking at the 4.0 mounts for the ZJ it looks like the Prothane mounts should work for motor and trans with a 4.0 I am in my late 50's and I know what you mean. Thanks for watching.
@@martinbuilt 👋🏽 from 🇵🇷 I love your videos I enjoy them and I have been able to get a lot out of it for my Jeep Grand Cherokee ‘02 4.7L V8 2WD. Thanks. Sorry for my bad English
I sent you a message on Facebook but I don't know if you'll get it or not. These don't fit The Dakotas. I thought for sure that the motor mounts on a 4.7 would be the same thickness all the way around but they're not... So my question is how did you find these to start with? Because they need to be about a half inch wider for the Dakota's
Thank you, Here is a link to the Dremel 4000-2/30 Rotary Tool Kit with Flex Shaft Attachment amzn.to/2sPhSFW and this link is for the flex only Dremel Flex Shaft amzn.to/36Xeckg
First, Happy birthday haha. Just wondering would you happen to know if this would work on the 42Re Trans mount too? I'm wondering what would happen if I went poly on my motor mounts, and trans mount for my 2000 WJ with the 4.0..... ;)
Thank you, I think if the trans mount looks the same as far as the insert goes I'm sure it will work. I will soon be ordering another set and trying that on the trans mount on my 04 JGC.
@@martinbuilt and also the Trans mount ? I think so but fig I I would ask. Did you install these in your 4.0. End doesn't make the vehicle vibrateWhere is it not that bad. I just replaced everything on the vehicle that is rubber I really went overboard all new control armsAll the way around all the shocks whose is alternator 300 Amp alt water pump Flow cooler Every hose on the truck is replaced I did away with the coil pack on top of the spark plugs and switched it to a quill pack from the V6. And install the new 12 hole injectors and a billet aluminium fuel rail with spider monkey 20" rims fuel pump I went all out but this cheap only has 50000 milesI own distance new it's been sittingLet me know when you get a minute thank you
I have a 4.7 wj with true duel x pipe 40 series flows high flow cats throttle body spacer ram air cold air intake and I can't figure out y its running worse than the day I first got it your help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Christon, I'm interested in knowing what kind of ram-air you used, would like to see some pics of the ram air and your exhaust system. If you check out the description there is a Facebook link at the bottom. Not exactly sure why it would run worse. But maybe with some photos I might see something.
The funny part is you said you were 56 in the video and didn't want to be pushing it out until you were 58....well guess what this year was? HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah but where is the metal insert like the original has you're just putting a rubber bushing in the mount where is the original style insert that goes in that mount
It would appear to me that you didn't actually watch the video. The new bushing comes with the metal insert as can be seen in the video. I even showed in the video where I had to slightly take off some of the length to make the insert fit properly in the motor mount.
Scotty, move over. Finally, someone like Martin comes along and talks to me without shouting and I'm a two-year-old. Great video, informative and a solution all in one. Thanks, Martin Two thumbs up and I'm subscribed.
If you mean Scotty kilmer, other than entertainment don't listen to that guy...he is dangeroud
Good job on the video, we use a long bolt and a 1/4 thick piece of flat steel and pull it in with the impact wrench.
If you don't have a shop press I highly recommend one. Makes a lot of stuff easier
Doing this project right now and loving this video. Works on the mounts for a 4.0 too, see martinbuilts other video, he does a slight modification of the mount bushing, but it's great!
I'm glad you liked and found this video helpful.
They look like they'd fit the Jeep Liberty 3.7. Already have all poly bushings in the rear and sway bar, now I just need the powertrain mounts.
Hey Martin, Happy Birthday!!!!! An air hammer with a panel splitter bit works great, too. You come up with THE BEST mods!!
Thank you Brian, yeah after it's all said and done I was thinking I should have used one of those totally spaced it. An air hammer probably would have drove it out of there a lot quicker.
Thankyou, I know now what I may be getting myself into
Sweet! I was just about to order some new motor mouts but I think I will have to do this instead! Thanks Martin, and happy birthday sir!
Hi Dane, yeah got them installed I do like them you do end up with some vibration though. I don't mind it's a hot ride anyway. Thank you!
digging the mods, using your head to save wear and tear on the tools and materials, great job, happy birthday
Thanks 👍
just saw a decal on a modified 97 xj that read "built not bought", but rebuilt works too !
I keep seeing all your cool things. This is one I really need to do. As you can imagine I have a tremendous amount of engine torque gong on. I have a limiting rod I have to finish as well.
Yes, this would be a great mod for your Jeep.
Happy Belated Birthday Martin!!
very nicely done Martin...looking forward to seeing fit the mounts...excellent.
Happy birthday Martin, can't wait to see the install 👍
Thank you John, I got them installed I'll be working on the video this week.
Happy late birthday Martin! I've been needing to replace my motor mount for a while now. Thanks for the great videos

Nice job Martin.Are you worried about the poly transferring vibrations into the cabin?

I got the 04 Jeep grand Cherokee 4.7 I replace my Motor mounts twice
you have to spend the big bucks if you what them to last, buy factory originals.
Was thinking that saws all move as soon as i seen what you were doing.Life's to short.
If you cut across the sleeve in 1 or 2 cuts it will come right out.
Of course I said this before you did it haha
yep I learned from the first time I changed out the motor mounts

Hey Martin maybe you Answer this already but can I use these in my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 in all the positions motor and the trans mount ?
Yes you should be able to use the polyurethane inserts in your original 4.0 motor mounts.

Hello why beat the hell out of it cut a piece out of it :-) lol
Shave that lip down. I think just buying a high end mount and swapping it out would be good enough.
Painful to watch. I think maybe just pay for new mounts.
