    The 3 mounts (2 engine & 1 for the trans.), trans. filter, and new gasket were about $330 with shipping & everything.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Wrench A purdy good day...;)

    Finally gave myself a kick in the pants & decided to get after the "beef up the tranny mount" mod...

    Had all the skid plates & the cross member dropped before TLMP had french toast on the table this morning...Drool

    (I swear the woman must think pot bellies are sexy or sumpin....)

    After ........., we went to the hardware, & picked up some 1/2" grade 8 bolts of the five inch variety.
    If you care to read earlier posts in this thread, you'll see where they go.(the original 1/4" grade 8's sheared off...)
    After re-drilling the mount, from 1/4" to 1/2", & hammering the bolts through, I loctite'd the nuts on & reassembled it all...with more loctite on every bolt of course...

    Just got back from a test drive & DUB'S A HAPPY CAMPER!(test driven in city & highway conditions)

    Not only is 96+% of the "clunk" gone, but the weird indescribable whirring (yeah, I know, I just described it, but thas not exactly it) noise is GONE!...

    Another couple things...slight engine vibration can now be felt in the steering wheel while sitting at a stop, in gear.
    Not unexpected, as this is now a solid mount.
    And as a bonus, I found a couple of thimble fulls of sacred soil (Moab cinnamon) in my hide-a-key thingy, that I keep...

    Woops, you almost had me...
