Rubber and OEM.

I tried to use aftermarket engine mounts and they wouldn't last a
season. The local Jeep shop recommended OEM. They did last this
long....

I have been told by lots that the poly mounts are way to stiff and
transmit too much vibration.

Before I did all that, Jim, I'd go ahead and spray some PB blaster on
the bolts.

Hey Guys,
If the Pan you are referring too is the skid plate, I had that off about two
years ago when I replaced the T-case. When I reinstalled the plate I used
new bolts and anti-seize paste. They should free up okay. If the bolts
that are in question are the ones for the mount itself, I plan to bathe
those quite generously for a few days. Similar to when I replaced both
intake/exhaust manifolds.

Thanks again all!!!

Paul
