    The dirt road from our farm to town (5 km) is very rough. Whenever I hit even the smallest bump or pothole, the banging sounded like my truck was falling apart. Entire front end has been rebuilt, so I crawled under the truck to find the problem. Turned out that the cab-to-frame body mounts had collasped, and the body was actually sitting on the frame. Checked every toy dealer and aftermarket parts place ...no luck. Found a place on the net that said they had them in stock, so I ordered a set. Arrived from Japan 7 days later. Installed them last Saturday. The rubber center of the old mounts was totally torn loose from its steel frame. (see photos).
    WOW !!! With the rebuilt suspension and the new mounts installed, the truck feels solid and rides like new (almost). Well worth the time and money.
