    DAMN IT!

    Passenger side motor mount caved into the frame.

    Been through this with the driver's side before.

    WTF Toyota!?!?!?!

    Truck hasn't been offroaded (besides forest roads, but you could take a damn civic where I'm going) in months ...

    Make sure your shock tower isn't pushed in before you plate it! Mine appeared fine and my dumbass gusseted it up and I had to get heimed uppers to unfuck it. You'll know it's jacked if your camber is off / |.

    I'm sure my shock towers are pushed in a little bit. My alignment tabs are maxed out and I still am a little bit off on camber.

    Any advice on how to correct the shock towers?

    I ordered DMZ's gusset kit. Planning on welding this motor mount back in place next weekend.

    Use a jack between the engine and tower? I'm a hillbilly engineer though, like nofords said, take it to a body shop and have them do it the "right way".

    Won't work. I tried to do that with a porta power. All it did was cause the engine to shift over in the engine bay on the motor mounts.

    For those that have looked at swapping a 9" rear in, How are you keeping the speedo? Mine is driven off the rear speed sensors. Havent seen that option on a 9"... lol

    You talk to awsumdc about the t case speed sensor and wiring harness that he sells. Still loose the abs though which you probably dont care about.

    My truck is running off of ONE speed sensor in the T-case (I like Cruise too, no ABS, no traction control bs). I'm sure it is possible to run off of one of your front wheel speed sensors if you tied all four together. Try it, might be as easy as that.
