Brown Dog Left Super Engine Bracket for 1987-1999 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ 4.0L & 4.2L I6 - Accepts Original and Aftermarket Headers.
 
In-line 6 cylinder engines in Jeep Wrangler YJ and TJ are prone to broken engine block mounting bolts and cast thread bosses on the left (driver-side). Caused by a collision, routine potholes, rough railroad crossings, or off-road excursions, this often results in the engine dropping and the fan poking a hole in the radiator and/or fan shroud.

The 'Engine Saver' solution.
The Brown Dog Offroad left (driver-side) Super Jeep Engine Bracket features seven Grade 8 or metric equivalent 10.9 bolts - four more than the originals - which significantly reduces  offroad torsional forces shearing bolts or broking engine mount thread bosses. No engine block modification necessary. Ideal for fixing a motor with broken cast block bolt bosses. Depending on how you use your Jeep, these brackets can be used with either original-style motor mounts or our high-performance motor mounts/motor mount lifts.

Accommodates aftermarket headers.
Unique design accepts original style exhaust manifold or aftermarket headers by providing more space in exhaust manifold area.

Hand-crafted in the USA of 1/4" USA steel plate.
Brown Dog brackets are made of 1/4" USA steel plate. While others use 3/16" steel, we know the 1/4" USA steel plate is stronger. The parts are carefully laser cut and drilled. Then double-checked against our drawings. Then we double-weld the bracket assembly for even more strength. Next your bracket is triple-checked for fit. After polished to white, the brackets are put in our ovens. This proprietary finish has become the beacon of quality sought by Jeep owners around the world. It's the sign of a quality performance build. We team our Super Brackets with all USA Grade 8 and M10.9 hardware needed for installation. Finally, it's all carefully wrapped and packaged with a sticker and instruction tips.  

Easier installation. 24/7 tech assistance.
No need for special tools to reach into small holes for bolt installation. Never a need to pull the engine. Installation is straight forward when you take your time and carefully follow installation tips. We'll email the preparation and installation tips upon request. Our phones are forwarded after hours and weekends for technical assistance. We've talked many customers who have never done this type of work through the process. You can do it. We promise we'll help.

Lipless design accepts motor mount lifts, too.
Doing a tummy-tuck, making a flat-belly, or have driveline angle issues, a motor mount lift may help you. As with all Brown Dog engine brackets, our Super Brackets feature the Brown Dog unique lipless design which eases installation of MMLs. All our engine brackets accept stock-height motor mounts (MMs) or 1", 1.5" or 2" motor mount lifts (MMLs). Design will not interfere with installation of 1", 1.5", or 2" MMLs.

Just get the left or change both sides at once.
Brown Dog makes it easy. Purchase this bracket and save your engine. Or purchase both sides and prevent any possible damage in the future. If you need both sides, order part number S2572-PHW. These accept your choice of original-style or high-performance motor mounts. Or get the whole kit at once...read on.

Need high-performance motor mounts, too?
If your Jeep takes you offroad occasionally, we strongly recommend upgrading to Brown Dog high-performance motor mounts or motor mount lifts. The original mounts, designed for street driving, simply won't stand up to the torsional forces experienced offroad. 

Save money. Save time. Upgrade to our Super Kit.
Upgrade to our high-performance mounts or motor mount lifts and our Super Brackets all at the same time. And never have to worry about your engine mount system again. Which kit? It's up to you. Considerations include how you drive, where you drive, how your Wrangler is configured, and your plans for the future. All Super Kits include brackets for both sides, a pair of high-performance motor mounts or motor mount lifts, and all installation hardware.

Installation notes
  • In preparation for installation, we suggest using PB Blaster or similar to clean out the additional engine block thread bosses.  
  • Installation instructions showing which holes take which bolts will be included with your bracket can be emailed ahead of time when requested.
  • Since you need to remove the transmission mount nuts prior to changing the bracket, we suggest examining the old transmission mount and having a new transmission mount on hand. Upon examination, customers commonly find the old transmission mount split in half.
  • Can be installed with original and most aftermarket oil pan skid plates.
  • If your aftermarket skid plate bolts to the engine block, call us for technical assistance.
