'05 Motor Mounts Failed/Failing

colvilletacoma · 12-26-2008, 05:03 PM

yeah i think we both thought that their wouldnt be. So in the late model 05's they didnt have the added reinforcements. Does anyone who has looked at this forum have an early built 07? Or a late build 06?

As mentioned before, I have an 07 with a build date of 12/06 and I have the reinforcements.

colvilletacoma · 12-26-2008, 05:22 PM

oh whoops, totally forgot about yours.

05TacoTRD · 12-26-2008, 05:24 PM

My build date is 7/05, no reinforcements.

pumasnack · 12-28-2008, 08:37 PM

Mine was manufactured March 06' and I haven't looked yet, but I bet I don't have the reinforcements. Weekend project comin' up, time to break out the welder.

I bought my '06 in October of '05. I'll crawl under tonight and see what I find.

My front-end mods and reinforcements may have just increased considerably.

colvilletacoma · 12-29-2008, 04:57 PM

you should be ok with the 4cyl. There havent been any reported incidents with them. The size of the engine is also a factor as it is quite a bit lighter. But thanks for looking as I think you are the only who has replied with a 4cyl!

I think my build date was June 06. Are the welded mounts the same on the 2.7 as the 4.0? If so I'll take a look at mine.

Not sure, but take a look and let us know.

OU812 · 12-30-2008, 05:28 AM

I'm racking mine up this morning. Gonna check this out and let you know. But I have a double cab long bed. Still, I'm interested to see how they look. This was the LAST thing I'd expect from Toyota.

I don't remember my build date but will post as well. Has anyone else looked at their long beds??

chris4x4 · 12-30-2008, 05:38 AM

Build date will be on the inside of the drive door jamb.

A friend of mine, who has an FJC (floppy) that has just about come apart due to fenderwell bulge & cracks, mentioned for me to periodically check the grill mounting screws as a looseness here is the first sign of this potential frame seperation problem. which incidentally is in the 06 FJC's as well.

I havent heard of the frame separating, just the motormounts pushing into the frame/cracking. Do you have more info on the frame separating?

pumasnack · 12-30-2008, 10:57 AM

Checked mine, and the 06 DC V6 Prerunner Sport built 03/06 does not have reinforcements, however the welds are pretty thick and look to be rather stable. Mine is a Nummi too...

SnoBoarder · 12-30-2008, 01:18 PM

This guy has Frame Separation/Motor Mount issues on his FJC. Maybe it is the same guy timmer knows? He states that Toyota refuses to warranty it but Toyota R&D wants the frame for analysis so he's getting a frame swap for free. There's some good pics:
