'05 Motor Mounts Failed/Failing

how much did it cost you to get it beefed up?

 

Hey Broken Taco, You have 4x4?

 

mine cost $250 to get mine beefed up! Mine failed completely on the drivers side and the weld was cracking on the passengers side. The welds in the pic are unpainted because it was right after I got the truck back, they were painted the next day to prevent rust. Here are the pics!:

Drivers Side:


Passengers Side:

 

Just to be clear, mine had not failed, but now I can be confident that they will not fail. I brought mine in to Irbis Offroad in CO, total was $550. However, they also put some coilovers on. They put two plates on passenger side and one on the driver side, they also painted it for me. They did a good job and were quick-- did it in one day. I may have been able to get it cheaper, but did not shop around at all. I just wanted it done right.

 

Yeah mine was done in one day too. He did just like i showed in the pics and how you had yours done. He did a 100% around all of it, including the top of the drivers side! Its a bitch to get in there but he did it somehow, he is good at what he does.

 

Yep, they only put one plate on the drivers side because it was difficult to get to. Not sure what they would've had to take out to get to it. I need to look under my truck when I get a chance.

 

yeah if they were to weld another one it might have the possibility of hitting the steering there so he didnt do it. I think my guy did an awesome job! Post some pics of yours dtacow! The more the merrier so people that have had this problem know what to do and know that it doesnt cost that much actually to get it fixed and if they paid more then us then they are paying too much.

 

I'm so down for this even tho mine is 4 cyl. Gonna be checkin on gettin a buddy to fix mine up.

 

this is some great info! will definitely be checking my mounts and having them reinforced

 

Good idea, some peoples mounts may not fail but if you got a little extra cash and want to get it done to make s ure that they dont then I would definetly do it. Its well worth it mine have been holding excellent so far! Its too much of a headache to have to go through so just get it fixed before it breaks!

 

its a shame that we would have to worry about this on a toyota. i would expect this from a dodge or ford. its just aggervating(sp) that toyota is getting a bad rep now. hopefully they'll have a recall one day. if its not too late.

 

Is it for 06 too?

 

i think on some of them...start reading from the beginning and i would check your mounts if i were you just to be safe.

 

I looked at them when i was detailing my truck. I didnt see any "gaps" near the engine mounts but I'll look at the Manu. date and get back to ya.

 

IIRC, they didn't start coming reinforced until mid 08

 

theres a picture of the newer motor mounts on the first page of this thread. if its not like that, i would advise you to spend the couple hundred to prevent failure

 

yeah if you have an 07 or newer you will be fine. If you have an 05 I would really consider doing it! If you have an 06 then I would recommend doing it but you might also be just fine and not have a problem.

 

Let me ask you guys this.... Is it worth it to have the mounts on my '05 (not showing any issues... yet) reinforced now before I have an issue or wait it out and see if a problem develops. Moneys very tight for me but if its really worth it I can find a way to get the cash.

 

Depends on how hard your offroad. If you dont do it a lot or all the time I wouldnt be too worried about it yet, just wait till you get the money

 

roll the dice...your call. but if it does fail, then it will cost you alot more to get it fixed
