    I was going to do mine years ago so I could keep wheeling the truck reliably, but I wound up getting injured and I just haven't been the same since, so now the truck is just a pavement pounder which I use to transport large things and the (now) family. The core support bulkhead remains in the same condition it was in, and hasn't gotten any worse, so I've sort of just left it like it was. The truck has slowly been deteriorating, but I'm going to give it a big refresh here shortly because it definitely could use it.

    ive seen this on a few trucks now. helped a friend weld up his core support after some cracks that seemed to start around the time of the poly swap. after that, i started peeking under all of my other buddie's tacomas. two more with poly had core support cracks, none with good condition OEM had any. all of the trucks ive seen that had core support cracks with OEM mounts had absolutely toasted rubbers.

    These frames are very flexible. they twist a TON when you off road. it's not necessarily a bad thing, but unless your truck is caged, engine cage included, the flexibility of the rubber mounts is highly beneficial.

    Yep. I know some military versions are running rubber up front and poly for the cab. ...and they run full armor.
