    Do throttle and clutch linkages need to be unhooked? Engine only needs to go up about 3/4" or so to clear stud. Fan to shroud clearance looks a little tight.

    I've never unhooked either when replacing the mounts.

    Good. I was hoping not. I will be replacing the trans and transfer case mounts too. Engine mounts are pretty dry rotted. Appear to be originals.

    Got mine in from Walcks yesterday. On the list to get done asap as mine are very dry rotted.

    Mine were pretty wasted. I have trans and transfer case mounts too. Those will be next.

    Trans and transfer case mounts done today. I need to do some degreasing and work on some oil leaks too.

    My motor mounts were rock hard and I couldn't believe how much body vibration went away when I replaced them. Just another thing you should notice once you do it. They are very easy to replace. My jeep is the same year as yours and it took me a floor jack and about 1/2 hour to knock them out.

    They were pretty simple to do. I imagine probably original.
