Ten to Fifteen years from now when there are non-binary types on MUD doing Tesla truck motor swaps, I don't want to find myself saying "if I only knew then..." My question to experienced Mudders who have crystal balls is "what OEM parts can we still get, that we'll kick ourselves for not buying in a few short years?"
In a way, this is a companion to the "Parts in Stock" thread: Ultimate OEM 60 series parts still in stock - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ultimate-oem-60-series-parts-still-in-stock.427242/ , but isn't meant to just list random parts that are available, but rather those parts that are worth investing in now because we won't be able to find them in the future:
Also same-same, but different is the Trail thread ( Trail spares thoughts (a list for review) - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/trail-spares-thoughts-a-list-for-review.1225984/ ). Kinda don't want to spend more than $500 in aggregate, but I'm willing to listen to any and all arguments to the contrary.
I don't want to get too sidetracked, but easily available used NLA parts might be worth considering.
For starters...do front motor mounts deserve to be on this list?
