Icon sells these stupid little plastic spacers to negate their design flaw where the rubber hose rubs on the bump stop mount. So I just cut up an old hose and wrapped it around.
Also looks like the rubber hoses are on their way out.
And did this to a fuel line that slightly rubs the slider mounting bolt too.

Split fuel hose has always been my go-to for contact prevention. I would think Icon would want to fix the problem but I guess there is too much money in selling a solution.
Yeah I should've done this a long time ago...I'm also pissed that the rubber hoses for the resi's are dry rotting out.

My Subaru is my first car to have them and Ill never go back to not having them. Next car needs to have a heated steering wheel in addition to the seats.
Yeah my wife's Volvo has the heated seats and steering wheel and she will never buy another car without them now. The steering wheel gets just warm enough that it's comfortable and doesn't make your hands sweaty.
I swapped out my Radiator bushings after seeing how bad @italynstylion were. Now all my front end noises are gone and I can see why! 
I had to get a little creative to jack my truck up.
I also installed my new winch controller part only to find out on testing my winch that a contactor inside the motor is bad. The whole winch itself is rusted up as well. So I just pulled my bumper off last night to take out my winch. I'll be shopping around for a used WARN winch or wait for a deal on one.
You can see how chinsy these connections are for the winch controller. The new one isn't any better at all.

Yeah, I still need to play around with this super winch and see if there's a fix for it but the whole thing is just rusted or rusting out.

I'm a tard.......no idea why I thought it was a warn.
If your bushings look like that I can't wait to see mine.... prob don't even need to take the old ones out - just put new ones in where the rust dust is.

How much are the replacement radiator bushings? Got a link and or part numbers?
They are $25. Credit to @italynstylion for the links. I've had mine sitting on the shelf for two years almost to the date. Just got around to replacing them

Yeah I'm just kicking myself for not doing them sooner...

Glad those worked out for you. I was a bit alarmed when I saw my stock ones out of the truck too.
