Do you mean the little pieces of tire-like rubber between the body and frame?

Yes. Are these the same as the FJ40?

You need to get 2 sets of 40 mounts.. and then you will have a few extra.

If they are the same as 40's, I recommend the Daystar kit. Nice stuff

I don't know for sure yet, but it looks like you can buy two kits and do a 45 swb and a 45 LV.

So what you need to do is buy two daystar kits and a 45swb.

If I buy another Cruiser, I will have to buy a new wife. Course that might not bee too bad . What is it about the Daystar that you guys like? Are they black, can't have any of those red mounts showing.

How about Energy? These are almost half the cost of the Daystar and since I need two kits?

Does no one know anything about these? How about good old rubber bushings like the factory used? Anyone have a source for them. Searched the web but only find elaborate pads specific to models of autos. Just need a basic 2x2x1/4" I think pad.

I have a bunch of those squares that came with my 45. They are used if you are interested.

Could you take a couple of pics and post? That way I would have a better idea what I am looking for. I would not have thought I threw mine away even though I was planning on getting new ones but I don't know where my old ones are. They may have melted bc we had to torch the body mount bolts off. Thanks

For the record, I ended up finding what I think will be the correct body mounts for my LV. They match what I removed, which was basically old rubber tire belting sort of material. I bought Daystar Body mounts. Daystar sells a 12 piece kit and a 2 piece kit. You need 14 body mounts. Non of the shops knew anything about the parts. I ordered from Jegs and they shipped directly from Daystar. I have not set the body yet, but hope to do it very soon. Wil report back.

Update: after setting the body on the frame, the 1/4" pads seem a bit too thin. Does anyone remember or know what they used for their body mounts? The front four mounts appear to be similar to a standard FJ40, but not sure bc never done them. The back 8 are just pads? I bought 1/4" thick polyurethane pads but the body does not want to sit down on them so wondering if they should have been 1/2" thick. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks
