    A week if driving around with the DMZ motor mounts, it's a little louder, but much better handling that the stock mounts. 10/10 would recommend

    Spend another $500 and hours and hours installing something that fits I guess.

    That sucks. Can you adjust the one you have to make it clear? Weld up the holes and re-drill in the right spot maybe?

    Or adjust the radiator mounts a little, that's probably easier.

    I’ll take a look at the radiator support. That would be an ideal solution.

    Did you also get the DMZ motor mount gussets? They went in real nice. With the CVs out the passenger side was completely accessible to weld and the driver side was 80% clear and the last inch after decoupling the steering shaft.

    I didn't, although I might gusset them when I rebuild my CVs.

    Interesting dust cover for the rear shock.

    @Plastics Guy these are awesome.

    Very progressive and you can feel the dual durometer.

    I'm getting some once I figure out what size.

    Do you have the front also or did you get the hydros mounted?
