Got any more? Have questions on one?  Feel like alphabetizing them for me?  Post 'em up!  

I don't have any abbreviations but did have a question about something I saw a few people mention. What is a "tummy tuck"?

A tummy tuck is a transmission skid plate that is basically flat even with the frame.
Usually a motor mount lift, slip yoke eliminator and body lift is needed with it.
