DIY Barnes 4wd Crossmember Kit - Samurai 3.4 Swap Series

This week I tackled the rear crossmember mount using Barnes 4wd DIY crossmember kit. I ended up making my own brackets and using Barnes gusset scraps to stiffen everything up. Check it out!

Toyota 5VZ-FE 3.4 L in a Samurai !
You’re making dreams into reality!
Thanks for the videos! Very obvious engine swap ( in my imagination at least) that seems to not be common at all in practice.

I wonder if you welded the top bracket on the drivers side that it wouldn’t make it more solid!? You could still swing it out…. Idk just thinking out-loud…awesome project!

I’ll see if I can get the weld in there, definitely wouldn’t hurt!

Only thing I would add is drilling holes or making a slot in LROR plate to burn in backside of round stock you used for mounts.

[@johnnymoongarage]

That’s a good idea, little bit of extra attachment! I could add some small gussets to the sides also?

Yes Sir
