ehh, I'm not a huge fan of POR 15 anyway......thanks again brother

Yes, you need to replace those motor mounts. There is a lot of back-and-forth on motor mount material: poly, rubber, solid. Each type has it purpose, it's just what you are looking to get out of the truck. I will be replacing mine with poly because I want a little more 'feel' from the motor. I'm also not using the truck as a daily driver, so I'm not looking for a ton of comfort.

Your progress looks great! Be careful when you drive it for the first time. Those painted rotors will make your brakes grab for a while.
