The mounts (engine and transmission) use lock washers and nyloc nuts, so those don't get torqued to a specific value. Just use German torque on these.

The brackets for the transfer case mounts use locking tabs under the bolts where they attach to the transfer case, so again, no torque values there either. You can use German torque here too or, if you're really obsessing about this particular triviality, you can just go with standard torque settings for the particular size and grade of fastener:
