PRG motor mounts - round two

Like most early adopters of the PRG mounts, I didn't reinstall the stock heat shields. About ten years later, this is what the passenger one looks like:

It was squatting down enough on the passenger side to where I had to loosen the center bolt and lift the engine to loosen it.

Under my truck today putting in new polyurethane from Energy Suspension, PRG's supplier for the soft parts. While I'm in there, reinstalling the stock heat shields and also taking out part of the rubber strips on the bottom bracket so it's a little easier to get in and out. Not sure if the heat shields will really do anything. But my truck just started idling roughly in the last year or two and I'll watch them more closely now, so overall doing this once every 6-8 years isn't so bad.
