Lower IC mounts.

he was picking my brain about possible 44'' michelins on 20's for teh crew yo', but cash is tight and he doesn't want to unload that bronco he picked up to get them. i think he'll keep teh crew for a while. he's too cheap to unload it with all the time and $$$ he's thrown at it. he'd probably ask like $30k

he's screwed for the time being. the shifter assembly on the getrag tranny is fubared. cheapest i could find for him right now is like $375 with his core shipped back, but he is low on fun money, so who knows when he'll figure something out. sucks cause he was making pretty good progress.
