so when i put in duals i use my already forward shift t-case in the front and get a top shift for the rear right?
and my old L43 transmission has a top shift t-case and i can use that right?
but the L43 t-case is chain driven?
is there anything special i have to do to the t-cases?

NVH???

Oh sorry,

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) is generally used to describe unwanted vibrations in an automobile. NVH is a generic term/acronym that covers the branch of engineering relating to vehicle refinement in terms of noise (acoustic) and vibration experienced by the occupants when the vehicle is in service. The term is used mainly in connection with road vehicles, but exactly the same techniques are used in air and rail transport to improve refinement.

lots of good info thanks guys. i only saw one way of chaining your motor down and some guy took a chain bolted it to his motor and welded the chain to his frame and i didnt want that but now i see how to chain the motor mount!
DRIVING WITH BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS SUCKS!

[toyotanner]

well i officially have two broken motor mounts i found 1 that a buddy had and got some nice chain. just need 1 more motor mount and they are ready to go in. i called around to the auto parts stores and the cheapest i could find was $42 so i think i'm just gonna wait it out til i find one.

Sorry I didn't post sooner. DanS

[toyotanner]

those would be pretty sweet! just to seems a little steep for motor mounts 200 for a set. i'll chain them for now and if those dont do good then i will probably get those

[skipnrocks]

What do you guys mean by chaining them?  What exactly gets chained and why do ya need it?  I have never heard of it.

[toyotanner]

there is a pic on the 2nd page of my build. basically its like a limiting strap for your motor mount so it doesnt overflex and break.

[TheCookieMonster]

ya those LC ones are pretty bad but way to expensive ill stick with the 5-10 dollar chain.....

[DeadlyPeace]

those would be pretty sweet! just to seems a little steep for motor mounts 200 for a set. i'll chain them for now and if those dont do good then i will probably get those

I would think that would be for the set of 2. I know it says "price each", but I'm guesing them mean each set cuz they use that same phrase for all their parts, single or as a set. It wouldn't hurt to contact them to find out. Just a thought.

[toyotanner]

...well the stock motor mounts from an auto parts store range up to 80 bucks a piece so i'm thinking those are priced each lol

[TheCookieMonster]

wow...i got both of my mounts from kneckets(i cant spell) for $35....i think thats right 35 or 40 bucks.....

[Jud]

Just buy the Rockstomper motor mounts.

[toyotanner]

yeah knechts was 42 schucks was the same. and baxters or b@$T@rd$ as i like to call them wanted 80.

i want the rockstomper ones but for now i'll just chain them but if that breaks i will be buying some sort of aftermarket motor mount

[TheCookieMonster]

ya chains will work just fine as long as your welds are strong....plus its a lot cheaper

[toyotanner]

well i went wheeling last weekend but before i did i fixed my motor mount problem which was not what i thought it was.... it turned out to be that the bracket that comes off the motor and connects to the motor mount was lose. the bolts were backed off like a 1/2 inch EEK! so i wrenched those down and took it up wheelin! And i think theres something chattering around in my t-case it started making a funny noise. but still went up and had fun i plan on fixing some things and making some things better before i go up again so we will see what i can get done!
