Re: Trail Gear Trans mount vs OEM

The only thing I dislike about the TG mounts is that they use garbage bushings that are proprietary -- strange, non-standard triangular shaped bushings. The HD t/case mounts we carry have always used high quality USA-made and standard round sized Daystar or Energy Suspension bushings. I'm not sure why their mounts are not a direct replacement. I didn't know this until now.

Here is the mount we carry, made right here in California by Locktup with USA-steel and USA-made Daystar bushings (standard American size that can be found anywhere).

We even charge less than TG while supporting great American products :thumbs:

Wow... did I receive this quick after I ordered.  Thanks Big Mike.
Over the holidays, I also received the TG crossmember/ skid including hardware that I will install once I get my trans issues squared away.

Here is a story preface:
It seems the trans shop installed the wrong torque converter after I had my newly acquired A340F re-built/ installed. All was fine until the 1st new converter internally grenaded, plugging the filter which while driving, I ended up coasting into a vacant parking lot and waiting for a tow truck... that sucked.

The shop repaired it on their dime but, I ended up with the wrong converter.
Once this is complete, I will install the newly acquired TC mount & other goods.  I would like a set of Marlin's 3RZ modified OEM  motor mounts Big Mike, hint, hint.

Thanks for the replies.
