Rubber mounted Bushings/Vibration Dampers for TM?>.....
With hopes to soon pull out my TM for refurbishment, I was thinking about maybe using some bushings between van floor and TM frame to cut down on vibration.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on bushings to use, or knowledge of this type of thing?
Best material to use?

My 2010 ford econoline has a super thick bushings on the back bumper to avoid bumper rash, if you can fine some used ones in junk yard it might work ?

I'm thinking there's some kind of damper that's made for this type of thing (equip vibration), but I don't know where to look. So I'm looking for a lil direction......
Thanks, DP!

Why not look to engine mounts? They are designed to control vibration and keep things anchored. They come in a hard rubber compound or the urethane synthetic material that most off roaders are using.
The urethane mounts will last forever and come in all kinds of sizes, so you should be able to find what you need pretty easily. The only caution is that the urethane bushings tend to squeak a little...shouldn't be a problem with a tm, but just be aware of it.
Might just check any Jeep accessories catalog (ThinkJeep, 4wdhardware, etc.) for urethane body or engine mounts to find what you need.

If you can lift your TM up you can also put some pieces of garage rubber flooring underneath
