The days of ripping your stock motor mounts in half will be behind you with new Rugged Rocks HD motor mounts. These motor mounts are a direct bolt in upgrade replacing the stock motor mounts on 3.0L V6 Nissan Pathfinders and Hardbodies. The Rugged Rocks HD Motor Mounts are made of 3/16" steel, powdercoated in 'gunmetal grey' and utilize a polyurethane bushing. Rugged Rocks HD Motor Mounts are sold individually and are available here: Rugged Rocks HD Motor Mounts  |

Steve, will these fit the VG33 or are those in the works? I need a set bad for the Xterra.
side note: looks like since the Thorley headers, changing them will be so much easier.

these won't fit the 3.3 but we have the 3.3 mounts in the works.
There seems to be a pretty high demand for the 3.3 mounts and i want to get them done as soon as possible.

I like it. I will be changing mine out to these. Are those bushings replaceable with standard stuff? I mean common leaf spring bushings.

No update on the 4.0 mounts yet. Just that i have a list of people that are interested.
I'm trying to get a few other things tested and on the shelf before moving forward with those.

What's the word on the 3.0 mounts? Are they stocked and ready to be shipped? I need to drop the motor back into the truck.

Got the mounts  ...but I have an issue. My passenger side motor mount bracket on the block has some bends and it is not straight all across. This is on my '93 2wd Pathfinder and I was sure that they were the same as the 4wd version.  |

Yeah, I might have to if I don't find a replacement bracket. I can't turn back anyways.  |

This might work:  6 washers and a longer bolt. Still trying to get the spacing down so that motor mount sits square with the block and frame. I wish I had kept my old motor mounts for reference. |

could you take the mount off the truck heat it up and beat it flat?

That actually doesn't look normal at all. was your truck ever in an accident?
Best bet would be to pull a bracket from a truck in a JY or something.
That bracket was the same for me on a 2WD '90 vs a 4WD '95

Truck was in an accident many years ago. I hit a Caddy front right. I've been driving it since without any problems.  Barry (Nissan Nut) has an extra one that he'll send me after he checks out the condition of his. I don't have access to a torch but I thought about cutting it some, hammer it straight, and welding it back up would be another alternative if I don't find one. I need to find a friendly pick and pull place here in Houston close-by. |
