Some recommendations if you are doing this. Even if you are not replacing the transfer case mount, removing the bolts from it helps installing the engine ones. Job is not difficult but the driver side has very little room.
I lifted the engine from the bottom up using jack and boards spreading weight evenly accross the bottom.
Price of parts is a little less than $300

I'm thinking about changing my motor mounts to help my random D vibration issue, but more so because my transfer case knob is off center to the right. Do you think changing motor mounts will help my transfer case knob shift back to the left?

Most definitely. Your passenger side mount must be gone. That would be the only reason I think it would shift that much.

Any thoughts about the brake rotors and pads now that you've had them a little while?

They have held up well. A little more brake dust than stock ones but that's actually good. I would say they are marginally better than stock.

Can't wait to see about the EVap system if a change

So last week I noticed a brake burn smell on my DS rear tire. I did some testing and noticed the caliper was having a very delayed spring back after breaking. Stuck caliper.
After much research, I decided to replace all 4 calipers. I went with Eclipse calipers for the front came recommended by @duggy and WBR for the back.
Eclipses have not arrived but I did get the WBR ones this weekend and installed them. The quality of them I thought was great. Perfect fit and corrosion coated. Uppon inspection of the old rear calipers I could tell one of them was original (one failing) and the other was not, it had been replaced before. Shame on who replaced it as these are suppose to be replaced in pairs.
Anyway here is a few pics of the product:

Yes. Eclipse from Napa on the front, they don't make ones for the rear. WBR you can find them on several sources but I got them from Advanceauto
Just went through your entire thread; very nice! Glad you made it through the flooding. Please tell me snorkel is on the mod list soon before this fall?
Wow, what a build. This truck is beyond beautiful and I don't know how I didn't find it sooner (thanks to @geanes post in the HIH thread for getting me here..)
I've only just skimmed it at work (won't lie, I was curious what rear bumper you were running -- which I may have a question or two about) but I can't wait to get in depth with it later tonight.
I think I say this on every thread, but this forum is absolutely amazing; so many of you guys have incredible rigs.
