I hope you don't sell it Cory so I can buy it in a couple month's
I know I know, I'm really on the fence about it. If somebody showed up with cash I don't know if I could let it go...

Fixed it! Best to swap motor mounts in pairs, have a look at your trans mount as well failure of one often leads to failure of the others. I know this from experience.

If you remember from your phone call.... They need attention anyway LOL , but no other bad side effects? I assume I wil have to add a plate behind the hatch to disperse the weight.

yeah, idk... I can see both sides of it. But the real question is what would you do if it sold? walk away from the sport? build/buy something else?

Good stuff right there, never heard a single bad review of their products!
I'm running the mounts now, planning to upgrade to the motor side bracket as funds allow.

I was telling Tristin today that I should soon have some old Moab vids on DVD soon. When I do, I am going to do a 1994 vs 2011 video of Widowmaker. It was about 3.5 feet high then. All vehicles of all wheelbases could get up it without much drama. I think that thing shows the most difference between old times and now. That and the entire Pritchett trail
