    Off-roading. Turns out it is kinda a commom problem amongst the 05's and guessing early model 06's

    Yeah I am going to call tomorrow, they obviously have nice work but I have heard they are pretty expensive and aren't really interested in small jobs anymore since theyve become 'big time'...

    Is the motor mount broken, or the part that attaches to the frame?

    Just got off the phone, they will give me a ring in the morning to discuss it in more detail. For the mean time I just emailed them some pics I found on the forum :-(

    P.S. always wondered where Tenoe AZ is as it states under your username?

    It was off-roading, sucks cause I was just starting to really get into off-roading and now I am just going to be reserved all the time thinking about the truck breaking again. Love my truck and haven't had much bad to say about the truck but this really is a BIG question mark in my head about Toyota, might be thinking Nissan next time i find myself in the market.

    wow! Im wondering the same thing. Does the 07 and newer trucks have this issue too. or did they re-enforce the frame at the motor mounts.....

    Exactly, it first started off as a metallic grinding that I noticed the last night after I went off-roading. Then today after work I went out and when I started the truck I could hear the something wrong in the motor, after a second it went away. Looked around didn't see nothing so I started it again and when I went to back out is when it became really noticeable what it was
