Default Finally got to my engine mounts

Both were cracked, the right side was completely separated and the left side was hanging on by a thread. They were really hard to get to but it got done eventually. I know there have been a couple how to's for mounts but if someone want me to write this up I will. I think anyone who has over 100k on their trucks and have the original mounts should just replace them as I'm sure they are beat.

I used OEM mounts because I had some I got for cheap but I hear Justin at Lucky 8 has some solid mounts that will not crack like the rubber land rover mounts. I also drained and refilled my ATF with maxlife and re-rtv'd on my center differential inspection plate that had begun to leak. The truck is almost ready for state inspection.

My tranny mounts look pretty well beat too but at least they are easy to get to. That driver's side front mount is a joke I stared at it for an hour trying to figure out how to get a wrench in there. My Gearwrench non reverse 0deg offset 18mm combo wrench did it. I also bought a 18mm bluepoint ratcheting crowfoot that was handy for the job.
