    Finally got around to installing energy suspension radiator bushings, My stock ones were toast. Seems much better! Started cleaning up my CB install with a Wilson 5000 mounted on the Prinsu, firestick on the bed rail is getting ditched. Going to wrap that up tomorrow and I'll post pics.

    Chris hit the nail on the head, I recommended you do yours too! Cheap & easy. Here is the thread on it:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/polyurethane-radiator-support-mounts-cab-also.361346/

    Heard he is just too lazy to install the pair he has sitting in his garage..

    So after driving around with them changed out, I can notice a big difference even on potholes. Front end feels much more firm, lot less 'jiggling' and noise in the grill/hood etc.

    I ordered them. Would you recommend installing them the way you did Aaron, or with the big bushing on top the way some did in that thread you guy's sent?

    Do them the way I did...my guess is you won't be able to fit the large one on top. (Make sure you put the larger diameter washer on top though)

    Trucks looking good, I like the antenna placement. Bushings came today, anything I should be aware of with the installation?

    I'm happy with it, still looks a bit ridiculous but it should perform nicely.

    Just make sure you loosen both sides before jacking the body up to install the new bushings. I have new energy poly body mounts inbound, curious to see how the stock ones look.

    Let me know how the body mounts look. What are the jacking points for the body? Hope to get this done Friday.

    Yes
    Body mounts should be fine mine were still in good shape when I installed the Energy body bushings. MAKE SURE that you use some lube between the bushings and washers...between everything or the body bushings will creak like hell amigo, hard urethane does not give at all either so you will feel more road vibes too vs the softer OE mounts...ask me how I know
