    Solid like fist bump solid man.....or solid no bushings for flex?

    Reason I ask is my old ramcharger, I put poly bushing engine mounts and trans mounts, my buddy only did his trans mounts poly and ended up cracking his bell housing.
    Replace bell housing and it cracked again later that year.
    Replace again did poly motor mounts and never had a problem again.

    Poly mounts. I've sent DTF Tacoma a msg on here but no response. Guess I'll have to modify them.

    They don’t fit our trucks. Try to return and pick up DMZ mounts. I went through hell with those things. DMZs are a delight to install relative to the DTFs.

    DTF on left:344557FE-F0EE-4E96-B835-ECFF5D488657.jpg The DTFs are too short. They lowered my engine enough that my fan contacted the shroud and wore all the way through it.

    Bodzen also makes mounts, but not trans mounts. The issue is DMZ won’t sell his trans mount to be used with engine mounts other than his own. He’s had fitment issues in the past with that scenario.

    Good luck, it was a very frustrating problem when I went through it all.

    Try messaging DTF on IG. Might have a better result. Doubt he signs on much here.

    Thanks. I think I'll just cut this one apart and make it fit. I can make a jig using the stock mount.
