The deets.

Went and got a bottle jack at [insert auto parts store here].
2x4 block and bottle jack at T-Case, lift slightly. Undo crossmember nuts and bolts, drop crossmember.
Ratchet strap. Through one of the holes at the intake manifold, ratchet hook at fender, other one at wheel. Tighten.
Floor jack. Lower from flat spot at back of oil pan (where the X is). Move the jack to the front of oil pan. Lay 2x4 block flat on lifting end, and another 2x4 standing up.
Proceed to lift towards the front. Old mount no longer has load pressure, remove, put in new, and continue lifting. Simultaneously, pull on ratchet strap while handling through-bolt
at mount to push through. Afterward, bolt down mount and tighten through-bolt.

Those were the steps I had to go through that got this all back in order. Now for the other side!

Cleaned off the old motor mount with very diluted simple green, can-o'-compressed air, and water. Feels a lot nicer than the one I got from the parts store somehow. Think I'll be holding on to these.

That mount doesn't even look worn.
