As we all know, GQ and GU patrols have a habit of breaking engine mounts, especially the passenger side as it is the one subject to the lifting force from the engine torque when the loud pedal is pressedhere is how to solve the problem once and for all!!
I have made a few sets of these now and i have changed the design a little each time until i finally ended up with one i'm happy with. So here's what to do.
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 Rear lower control arm from a toyota surf / 4runner 1989 - 1996 (don't forget to get the two mounting bolts as well)
- 2 pieces of 6mm x 100mm steel plate cut to a length of 130mm
- 2 pieces of 6mm x 50mm steel plate cut to 400mm
- 1 can of black spray paint
I think the steel and can of paint cost me somewhere around $25 and i got the control arm from a mate but i would assume something like $20 or $30 from a wrecker so makes for a pretty cheap mod really
ok, lets get to it!
a quick shot of why we're doing this, broken is no good!!
