Just a quick note on the Jamboree. Everyone is welcome. If you haven't been to Truckhaven, it's dry camping, no hook-ups. There are no fees for the event or to stay. Come one, come all. Stock to heavily modified. Proper tow/recovery points required for runs...http://www.socalxj.com/article14.html
I was gonna contact you back channel, but yea the mounts are too narrow. Not sure if they varied from year to year or not. I'm SUPER grateful you were out there, they still worked bitchin to get me home! I'll hit you up and send some pictures off your way. And eventually get it down to your pad so you can get some measurements.Jim, does this have anything to do with the mounts? If they aren't fitting well I will make you new mounts or whatever is needed to make them fit better, just let me know.
I don't think it was from the jack. It's definitely gear oil from the rear tailcone section of the trans. I'm not sure if my yoke pushed too far forward and damaged a seal or what. I gotta get the tailcone off and check out the seals.Haha yea, side x side @ 65 sliding through a berm felt all initial D style.
Motor mounts turned out ok, we couldn't get rid of the gap, so the engine can slide up to 3/8" forward... it hasn't yet. However I'm leaking gear oil like a SIB out of my tailcone. Not sure if it's because of the broken motor mounts or because the engine/trans is too far back now (it shouldn't be this) but I get to take my tailcone off, AGAIN and most likely replace seals. Such is life I suppose...
Uh oh, did the leak start after the mount change? Did you deform the oil pan jacking it up? I did that once, it likes to leak right near the rear main area. or is this unrelated?

Yes, we most definitely did. Sorry you missed it!
