Wondering if any of you guys are using Daystar d-ring isolators, and what kind of input y'all may have on them. I want to buy some but if they pop off easily or don't handle the elements well I'd rather save my 20 bucks an figure out a different way to keep the tink-tinks away. Thanks for any input folks.

I haven't used them but you could just take the d rings off tell you go off road and put them back on.

I use o-rings. Works great and costs pennies.
Can also be used on thru-bolt on each side of d-ring mount.

Been running mine front and rear for over 3 yrs. now works great.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm still on the fence about them. O-rings are cheap and effective, but the isolators look cool. Gonna wait till I finish my bumper and go from there.

Looks are about all they're good for IMO. They add color.

They stopped all the rattling when driving on/off road as advertised and easy to pop on and off. When I bought them wondered if they might come off when off road in the brush, tall grass weeds. small trees surprisingly they did not. They were cheap enough to try and I've been very satisfied with them.

Do you actually hear the rattling? I've been driving 3 years on my bumper without them and I never hear them with my windows down.

Same. I've never heard my d rings, even with a quick stop. That one on the winch looks like it'll rattle though lol

Think I'm going to make some nylon spacers to fill the gap between the tab and d-ring then go from there. If I get the tink-tinks I'll decide if im going with isolators or o-rings.

SteveMongr

Depends on how well the d-ring fits inside the mounting tab and how far the tab extends past face of bumper.

Fred/N0AZZ

Mine rattled like hell and drove me crazy.


The one on the winch is mounted on a Factor 55 D-Ring winch mount can't touch anything.

Do they make isolator a for these?

sycoglitch

Pretty sure I saw them on quadratecs website lol

I had the same one as pictured above. They did nothing for me. If you are worried about the slapping/rattling, get some rubber hose/ washers and make it so when you tighten down the D-ring bolt, it does not move. Works 100X better for noise-
