Who sells the complete crossmember mount for the Dana 300 ? Mine has seen better days so I need to replace it. Cant seem to find it on 4WD.com.

4WD has this custom crossmember from Trottle Down Customs.

Of all the 300's Ive pulled off of jeeps Ive never seen a cross member for one. normally they just hang off the back of the Transmission .

Or just build your own. Can you weld?
With the help of a welding friend I made my own. I first bolted 2 angle iron pieces onto my frame. I then welded a crossmember between them. Then I put 2 Transmission mounts on the crossmember. Normally the OEM mount is one tranny mount and a doughnut cushion mount but I don't like that design.
Here's what it looks like:

Here it is from the side. I cut the angle iron pieces to have a taper at the front and rear.

The PO installed an aftermarket crossmember and the mount between the crossmember and TC looks alot like a tranny mount but dont know for sure.

It could be, from the factory you should have only had a tranny mount with torque bar on the tranny near the T case, which would have bolted to the skid plate. And no mount attached to the T case.

A picture would help greatly. If you need the skid plate/tranny cross member that works with a Dana 300 , I got two in Loveland.

Here are a few pics.

That looks OEM.
It always thought it looked jury rigged. It was like the factory put a tranny mount on one side and then someone said "we need some type of mount on the other side" and then someone found a rubber insulator for the other side.

Looks like you just need a new torque arm bushing. Easy to get. Transmission mount bushings are also easy to get. Metal piece looks good.

 

[Tin Medic]

That top bushing is pretty much gone. I will be dropping that skid plate so I can get a better look at whats going on in there. Need to get it squared away before the run in Aug.
