got this sticker the other day from the Big E:
and today my bf and i did the motor mounts and tranny mount with some minor setback...passenger side went in & out easily and wasn't in very bad shape but the drivers side was super rusty and there is a nut welded under the motor mount that broke so i had to hold the bolt with vice grips while my bf used a hacksaw:
then we went to work on the tranny mount and while i was helping hold the crossmember he accidently hit me in the face with it but i am alright:
she drives and shifts so much better cause the old mounts were pretty bad and thanks to CherokeeChick i got my Jeepacorn stickers:

Got leaf springs for my jeep today! Thinkin of putting those on sometime soon. Moving made me sag a bit more than id like. Think later of goin with a two inch budget boost for now till I save up for a lift next year.

my bf got some sweet deals tonight while buying parts for his xj he got me new JK rear shocks, 2" teraflex coil spacers, and some stock front coils in near new condition for $20 so my tally right now for 2" budget boost is:
stock Crown replacement leafs -$80
stock coils in good shape -free
rear shocks for 2" -$10
teraflex 2" coil spacers -$10
now just to find JK fronts and some 2" shackles
