Toyota dealers and junk yards sell them, also look on ebay and the for sale section here. I'd sell you my old one but it is broken, did your's break too?

ya and looking for stronger mounts and i work in a junk yard thats is where i got my runner

The older 4 cyl rear mounts have a big ass bolt running through them to keep them from pulling apart. Why is it everything about the older 4 cyl truck was stronger. They don't make them like they used to. The 95 trucks were the last of the strong frames and transfer cases and the 5VZFE was the last of the good engines.

so nobody has had moter mounts or tranny mount problems

in a word

nope. not hear and ive bashed my truck fairly hard.

Most of the guys having problems with motor mounts are running duel t-cases and the very low gearing breaks them. A lot of them use chains to limit the amount of stretch the rubber will have to take. Here's a little info on that: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...torMount.shtml

Some of the Taco guys are having problems breaking the mounts and the perch that is welded to the frame. Again seems to just be guys running duel t-cases.

I changed my motor mounts when I put the new engine in after 235K miles. The old mounts were noticeably lower than the new ones. (I didn't measure them.) The old ones looked just a bit crooked too, like the rubber had deformed over the years. I didn't replace them because I had a problem, only because I didn't want to have a problem in the future.

Yeah I just put in new motor mounts too, just because the engine was out and didn't want a problem later. My old ones are smashed down about a 1/4 inch compared to the new ones. I also chained mine because I'm adding duel cases. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...42310107EbJpVn

Mine are OEM. I replaced the motor mounts as well as the T case mount. TRDParts4U has great prices if you decide to go OEM.

Yeah mine are OEM too, they came with my 3.4 swap kit from ORS. There are some heavy duty aftermarket mounts made for hardcore offroading but a lot of vibration can be felt with them and many who put them on daily drivers end up taking them off. I hear they are fine for trail only rigs.

Back in the Baja Bug days in high school I had a buddy that put a solid transmission mount on his bug. Definitely not the thing for a DD if I recall correctly. There was a lot of vibration and it was really loud too.
