Really nice young lady, very sweet and respectful. Shes into trucks and whatnot, has a 70 something Ford Highboy.
Sounds like a winner!
I am a little lacking here... Whoopsies.
Well, this nice young lady thing is a thing of the past - they are no longer.
Next, the Jeep went off to the frame shop...
It's done now. It was kinked up pretty bad - much worse than I thought. BUT, they have it about as strait as they can get it. My buddy thinks that it will align just fine. Both motor mounts are broke, but the super not ideal news is that 2 of the 3 drivers side motor mount tabs are broken off the block... So we will need this:

S2572-LHW, Left Super Engine Bracket, 1987-1999 4.0L and 4.2L Jeep YJ, TJ
1987-1999 Wrangler I6 4.2L, 4.0L. Bolts to 7 existing engine block thread bosses. Commonly called the Engine Saver, it's the ideal fix for busted bosses, broken bolts. Spreading the load, it can prevent broken bosses, bolts. Grade 8 hardware. Made in USA.

Jeep is back. Frame looks so much better - front end lines up great. Both motor mounts broke and the drivers side block 2 or the 3 mount bosses snapped. So I’m after a fix it mount or whatever you call it from brown dog.
Anybody have a pair of factory motor mounts?

Well the Brown Dog motor plate is in, but this alignment is a problem... Not fault of Brown Dog of course - that's what you get when your frame rail was pushed back a couple inches. We've pulled the whole drive train backwards about a 1/2 and it's better, but it's still significantly off.
Frankly, I am not sure what we're going to do. I don't have a welder. I think we can get it back far enough so that the bolt closest to the frame will be lined up, but the other one is still wont be. I can either notch the bracket and bend it forward - figure out how to reweld. Put a 1/4" plate on top and bolt the motor mount to the plate and bolt the plate to the mount?
@RokAddict85 what would you do? ( assume cut the whole dang thing off and reweld it)

I feel like that one is coming from personal experience.
