First you buy these. (I think its E10 just buy a lisle set for 10 bucks.) (I think its 18 MM, you should own a full set of gearwrenches anyway.)
First jack up the frame for better access to the mounts. Use the Gear wrench to loosen the nuts on the engine side of the mount. Then remove both botom nuts and use the E10 to remove the stud from the motor mount. (circled) Then fully remove the engine side nuts. Jack up the motor and slide both mounts out. Remove the studs from the new mounts and slide them in. Put the studs back in and lower the engine. Put all the nuts back on.

x2 ... I wanted the qt's but no one had them and I needed motor mounts so I threw the oem ones in.
I honestly do not notice a difference due to the fact that I am running Nitto Trail Mud Grappler Tires, so everything feels rough to me. If you are running street or A/T tires, you may feel a slight difference being that the engine doesn't have the rubber dampening the vibrations like the stock mounts do, but it isn't annoying by any means.

new and innovative things.
There's at least 4 kits out there that I know of that will allow average Joe to put 33s on his disco. So if you truly want to be Innovative, build a time machine and head to 2002 and then put together a 4" lift. Or you could make a kit to lift a disco and put 37s under it. But you won't. You will just build a 4" lift kit and tell everyone it's better than the other 4 kits.
I have 35s on my disco. I actually wheel my truck. No cheesy metal bumpers, roof racks, winches, stupid gas cans, roof racks with lights, skid plates or any of that other **** you sell to yuppies to put on their grocery getters. I think it would be awesome if you made a huge lift kit. There are so many ****box d2s out there that I think it's worth it to buy a 1000 truck and put an 8 inch lift and 37s on it

32's (32/10.5/15" TSL Radial) no rubbing, full stuff.
Thinking 33's and a small small lift, and I should be Rubicon on 35's worthy.

Haha, my momma is 4'11". Some how I still drive her around relatively often. Might change after the lift.
