Motor Plates ?
If your going to run a motor plate set up, do you have to use the front and rear? Or can you use one or the other with regular mounts?

Re: Motor Plates ?
You can run one or the other with the stock mounts. I run all 3 to be able to prove the motor is in the stock location and support.

Re: Motor Plates ?
On a normal setup, the rear plate takes all the load, the front one just holds up the motor.
I see no reason you couldnt use the rear one with a set of std side mounts. "As long as they were solid"

In the first pic you can see both the front and rear plates and the second pic you can see the stock mount.
