    Fuck man that cad file must of been a pretty penny. With that though, I would consider developing some parts now that you got the official dimensions.

    This! Please do tell where you found this file? I had been told before that you could request them for free if you are registered with SEMA as a manufacturer, but again they didn't want to take our money so we aren't registered.

    It's been a while but I've been trying to find modeling of FJ cruiser bodies and Tacoma bodies. Along with chassis and such.

    Anybody have experience with the DTF Trans mount for 6-speeds? Mine isn't working out. Holes aren't even close to lining up at the crossmember.

    Tried calling DTF, no luck.

    Try the usual loosen the mount bolts and see if you can start the other ones? You have solid motor mounts or stock? The engine moves around quite a bit

    Been doing that. The OEM mount still goes in and out, no problem. I have DTF motor mounts waiting to go on, if I ever get to them...

    Tried flipping the mount, ratchet strapping trans to frame to try and get it to shift, flipping the crossmember, nothing works...

    Yes. Stock mount dropped right back in, no drama.

    Another stupid question. Have you tried turning the part that bolts to the trans around? It appears to be tapered one direction. Could just be the picture, hard to tell.

    Yes, doesn't fit that way. I tried every imaginable orientation and combination, upside-down, inside-out. Don't even feel like starting the motor mounts now.
