YAY! I stopped by to drop something off for scheides today, and I got there just as they were about to get the tranny bolted to the motor! Nice work guys! Good luck with getting the rest of it back together!

I have some amazing friends. I hope someday I can pay them back for this. Before I left work today, I got this pic from Trevor:

when I got home, the tranny was on. I was elated! I could have cried I was so happy, except for all the rest of the work left to do sobered me up quick. Aaron came by and helped me thank god, cause don't forget who's writing this--I suck at wrenching :). We spent a good hour wrestling with two motor mounts, then got the transfer case on and trevor came back to help us button up the axles and suspension, and a bunch of other little stuff. 11pm curfew imposed by Anna, so I'll probably button it up tomorrow.

Rosey, it was too dark to see your little project, I'll take pics of it tomorrow! I gotta be at work at 7am. :(

Fuck that! They were a PITA to reinstall but my ass and non-vibrating dash loves them :) I am a firm believer in a mildly upgraded front motor mount and stock side and rear mounts, plenty of performance there at most (normal-ish) power levels.

Thanks again for your help aaron! Sorry the mounts were such bitches. We worked them though!

Can't say I'd recommend it. My car feels fine at cruise but in the 4k rpm range the buzzing makes you feel like the car is coming apart.
