Engine Mount Claims Another Tacoma

How much? I'm about to drop my engine back in

 

$375 + shipping.

Look at @Bonzen's signature for details.

 

Congrats !! Now back to loving your Taco brother.

 

Do I still need DMZ even after this was done to my frame/motor mount area?

 

I would. Seems like it would be extra insurance.

 

So I pulled my engine out (obviously) but now I put it back in after the work was done on the mounts (see pics above) and even after I bolted the motor mounts up the engine rocks back and forth, is that normal? Lol I'm thinking it is since there are only 2 motor mounts. Btw, the transmission is pulled out too.

 

The rubber engine mounts allow for a lot of flex.

 

These will fix your issues. All the frame plating and gusseting is great but without replacing the weak flexing factory rubber mount you will always have a sloppy drivetrain and continue to put stress on your frame perches.

 

How much?

 

That will now last the life of the truck,to bad Toyota is so cheap.

 

All prices and payment instructions are in my signature. If you are on a mobile phone and its not displaying properly DM me and I'll get you set up!

 

I know this thread has been dead for a year however I am desperate for ideas, have the engine & tranny out but can’t think of any way to actually bend the mount back into position to be welded, any ideas?

 

Bottle or floor jack?

 

I pulled my entire engine and trans out to fix my motor mounts. Here in Phoenix there is a frame shop that I took my once shell taco so that they can reinforce that area. I did it that way, idk but maybe you can see if a frame shop will fix it for you? The shop here added plates behind the motormount perches, welded it, etc and its solid now.

 

I really need to add the gussets to my truck.

 

Why does it say 4.4L for your truck? Can the 1GR be built?? If so I want in

 

Yes. Built a few. Current one has a stroker crank.

 

Still selling these 4.0L motor mounts if anyone needs a set! Say goodbye to frame damage

 

Are you saying that the poly mounts transmit less stress to the frame than the compliant rubber OEM mounts or that the perches are stronger?

 

The mounts are stronger. There is less flex side to side, so less acceleration of the engine as torques side to side. As it barely can move. That action being hindered reduces the forces caused by such. Doesn’t mean that the other reasons which cause the frame to tear apart are fixed.

Rust, and a lack of a gusseting on specific models, are still available to play. Heavy abuse, or enough salt can both cause it to still fail, until those aspects are taken care of as well.

Has to be comprehensive. Not taken out of context.
