Slowly rebuilding my tj using one of the TDK frames and such ill have to drill a few holes into it for the different mounting brackets.

My old frame had two of the 5 position plastic on the drivers side, sort of near the transmission. It also had two 2 position brackets for maybe the rear brake line, fuel supply or fuel vent.

Can anyone confirm how many mounts should be on the drivers side of the frame?

Thank you.
 
OK, raining here today, dog hibernating, no morning walk. Slid under my 04 Rubicon to check for you. All my brackets are for 5 tube, although only the forward 3 use all 5 positions, others only use 4 of the available spaces. Approximate locations are as follows:
- on frame, just behind crossmember for AT skid
- on frame, across from front D/S double cardan
- on frame, just beyond rear of belly pan
- on top of upper rear control arm bracket
- floating perpendicular to frame, just behind upper mount for rear sway bar
- on upper spring perch bracket

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

This may be different since you have a AT and some TJs had ABS; brainstorming what the 5 lines are below. With a Rubicon one of the lines would be for the rear locker?

1 - on frame, just behind crossmember for AT skid (5 position: fuel supply, fuel vent, fuel pump power, rear brake supply, _____???
2 - on frame, across from front D/S double cardan (5 position: fuel supply, fuel vent, fuel pump power, rear brake supply, _____???
3 - on frame, just beyond rear of belly pan (5 position: fuel supply, fuel vent, fuel pump power, rear brake supply, _____???)
4 - on top of upper rear control arm bracket (3 position: fuel supply, fuel vent, fuel pump power)
5 - floating perpendicular to frame, just behind upper mount for rear sway bar (3 position: ABS wheel speed sensors (2) and rear brake supply?)
6 - on upper spring perch bracket (3 position: fuel supply, fuel vent, fuel pump power)
 
1 and 2 have loom for front locker. Rear locker loom travels back separately, not on frame brackets. No ABS on Rubicon models. Not sure what is on 3-6, seems to be a loom going back towards gas tank and remainder are hard lines.
