Default 1 of 4 body mounts rotted with rust.

On my 2004 dodge dakota 1 of 4 of my body mounts (body side not frame side) is rusted, like rotted. It is the front drivers side. The front passenger side is rusted but i feel the body mount still have structural integrity. The rear body mounts are good.

Im just going to do home depot runs to work around the house. Also possibly pull a popup camper camping a 40min drive away.

Is it safe to drive?

They are all in pretty bad shape.... There was another member that was bending up his own. No clue whatever happened with that.

thank you. you think it's safe to do home depot runs? the cab is mounted at the four points minus this one AND the floor pan(?) is also connected to the frame? are there more than four mount points for a club cab? I just want to make sure nothings going to fly off while i drive this truck here and there for work around the house.

i've found front cab mounts online, sheets of metal ready to be welded but don't know anyone who welds.

Yeah, probably ok. I wouldn't take it on rough terrain though.
