OP
The 5.9L is back in the TJ and hopefully its final resting place. Engine is at 4.5 degrees tilted back, AA motor mounts are bolted on (I torqued to 40 ft-lbs and put blue loctite on them). I can already see that my barnes 4wd skid plate will need an adapter/extender in order for it to secure my transmission. I either need to get the Novak universal tranny mount adapter or try to drill holes in my ax5 tranny mount, or get a tranny mount from an ax15 (one did not come with the transmission that I bought) and see if that works. The AX5 tranny mount that I have has the cushion bracket that has the same bolt pattern that fits the AX15 transmission. It looks like I may be able to just detach the cushion bracket from the other piece, attach the cushion bracket to the AX15 and use 2 of the 4 holes on the other end to attach to the skid plate.
