Under the hood - almost ready to remove engine/tranny!

Today we lowered the trooper from the hoist, back on the floor.

We removed various components to prepare for the removal of the engine.

-We removed bolts from the motor mounts
-The frame cross member was removed, and we used the floor jack to support the tranny.
-Both the the air conditioning lines and power steering lines were disconnected
-Disconnected all the vacuum lines and electrical connections
* We made sure all the lines and electrical connections were labeled with tape/marker as well as saved to identify for when we reassemble and be retrofitted with new connections for the diesel engine *
