I found this part on Max6X6 and I have no clue what it is, I completely disassembled my MaxII and did not see anything like this on mine.

15300 STABILIZER BRACKET STUD PLATE - MAX II / BUFFALO

Newer 2s and Buffalo trucks have a torque bumper at front left engine mount that is adjustable. It is set to take the load off engine mounts. That stud plate fits through slots in frame and hold the bumper bracket to top of frame. I installed one in my 2 when frame was out. I don't remember them in vehicles older than 2000?? Not sure when they started installing them.

well that explains it, mine's a 1998. Well 1998 or 2011 depending on who you ask I guess

They have been on machines for a long time. It goes on the left outside frame rail to prevent the motor from moving forward. You put a rubber motor mount on it.

I have no experience with the seller personally and have only been a member here since last summer, but there seems to be a pattern of some sort with that company. At the very least I have read several posts that don't reflect very well on the company.
