As you have probably already discovered, off roading places heavy abuse on many parts of your truck that don’t get abused when your truck is driven “normally”. One of such part is your stock transfer case mount. This soft rubber and steel block bolts between your transfer case and your transfer case cross member, and has a tendency to do one of two things when you are wheeling your truck. It will either flex far to much letting your shifter hit things in the cab, or even worse, the rubber will rip right in half! So now you’re in the middle of a trail, in the middle of nowhere, with a transmission/transfer case that is just flopping around, now what do you do?

To help you avoid such a situation, 4x Innovations has created the first true super duty transfer case mount for Toyota trucks! In this new mount the soft, weak, stock rubber portion of the mount is replaced with quality Energy Suspension Poly round bushings. These bushings will not split and fail on you, eliminating such worries associated with stock mounts. Your new mount comes with thicker steel plates that are laser cut and CNC formed for the best fit possible. This mount is a direct replacement and even includes all needed hardware. You can even run this mount with after market cross members that reuse the Toyota rubber mount.

As if all that wasn’t enough, there’s another trick feature to this mount. If you need remove your transfer case or transmission you now only need to remove two bolts from the bushings to pull the cross member down, not the 4, hard to get to, bolts that engage in the cross member.

Get the strongest mount available for your rig today for just $85 including black died zinc plating! This mount fits all 79-95 Gear drive transfer cases and 82-95 4 cylinder cross members and the Inchworm Tacoma Lefty Case. To order please either contact us or click over to 4xInnovations.com and use the online shopping options.

Oh man, this is tempting since I had to drill out one of those stupid allen bolts in my Budbuilt crossmember last weekend. Let me see if I can come up with some scratch. Looking forward to seeing the installed pics.

Well, after getting my exhaust installed today and noticing how much my shifters move around I've decided to go ahead and order one of these to install while I have my skids and stuff off. I'll let you guys know how I like it.

Yes these are a complete bolt in mod! It took me a half an hour to install the first one, and that was because I was being slow, and stubern not wanting to remove the tiny factory skid plate my pick up still had on it.

Here's a kind of crappy pic of the real thing!

I know there may be some concern over these mounts introducing more vibration into the truck, but these are great bushings, and there is not actually much vibration at the mount. Jamie brought this up when he was over this weekend, so we hoped in my truck for a drive. My 4 runner is running the same style of mount/bushings, but it also has 2 inch round bushings for motor mounts. I'll let Jamie toss in is .02, but I believe he felt it wasn't as much as maybe expected, and more than acceptable.

I've got to get a picture of the unit under the truck, it bolts right up, just like a stock one would. And it bolts in ALL of the places you would use this shaped OEM unit!

Thanks Adam! Hopefully it'll quit raining so I can install it tomorrow. Also, thanks for putting in the info about TreadLightly.. I wish every company reminded people of that. I'll post some installed pics as soon as I get it painted up and swapped in.

Wow that arrived quickly! Great that you got it already.

The Tread Lightly stuff is important, and all companies should include something about trail preservation, after all it's our planet on the line, and our lively hood! And best of all is that by the time it is all said and done you don't pay for those brochures as they come free with a business membership, that we would have anyway!

So I am the ecstatic new owner/user of one of these Super Duty T-Case Mounts!

If I had known how much difference this would make in the way my truck drives and feels, I would have made the time for this MONTHS ago!

My truck feels almost like it did before I did my 4WD conversion. I had grown so accustomed to how sloppy-feeling my truck had become, that I forgot how firm, tight, and responsive it used to feel. This Super Duty T-Case mount (along with the new custom HD crossmember), has brought all that old performance back. I never realized how bad that old rubber Toyota T-Case mount was robbing me.

For those concerned about vibration:
The only vibration that I now have, that I didn't before, is when I'm sitting still, at idle, with the truck in drive. There is a slight vibration under that specific condition (that most likely no one would notice but me) - BUT - 90% of the other vibrations that I used to experience are GONE! This mount has not caused any excess, violent, or otherwise undesirable vibrations in my application.

I would most highly recommend this product to anyone whose application has you utilizing the old-style Toyota transfer case mounts.
