    hey so i've added the Durobumps replacement bushing job to my list since the originals look like crap and i seem to be systematically replacing pretty much every original rubber part on my '99 4x4 lol

    anyways, while i'm in there i want to go ahead and replace the rubber front bracket upper insulators.

    problem is, the part that matches my VIN is 41653-35010 and is DISCONTINUED

    part # 41653-35030 IS available, and to my knowledge is specific to the 3rd gen 4 Runner. i know these two platforms are near identical, but with definite differences. just not sure if this is one of 'em

    any and all advice is appreciated! thanks

    -John

    I can take a look at mine this afternoon. I have an '03 Tacoma and a '98 4Runner, and I can upload some pictures to see if they at least appear interchangeable.

    I did the durobump bushings on my '03 last year and just reused my insulators because they honestly appeared fine.

    I'd bet my bottom dollar those are totally interchangeable
