Hey fellas
I've been overseas for years now but I'm back and want to finally get started on my truck. I've reread this thread and I think I'll stay with a manual tranny, but I would like something a bit better suited for byway driving. I've seen a few threads on the NV4500 saying it's a good option, but those threads are several years old and I'm wondering if there may be other options? I also have a quick question about moving the motor mounts forward a couple inches as the threads recommend to avoid dealing with transfer case and drive shaft issues. I've never moved an engine forward (or back) is there a aftermarket mount that'll bolt in to achieve the move?
