Hey guys i really need your help i have looked for 3 months now and i cant seem to find the FL and FR engine mount or the trans mount. Im even having problems finding the correct Extension housing seal. The one that destroyed the mount in the first place.
First, this is one of the boards for the XJ Cherokee, and I'm pretty sure the pictures you posted are not from an XJ, but from a Grand Cherokee. You'll probably get better answers to your question on the Grand Cherokee board:
But where have you looked for the mounts? I would expect to find them at local auto parts stores. If not, RockAuto.com has them available to order. They also have the extension housing seal.

Its a Cherokee I promise. I've had it for 5 years. I've checked orielys, advance, I ordered mounts from rock auto and they are the wrong ones. Every part store shows up the same mounts but they are the wrong ones
I've gone to dealer and they show the wrong ones. He gave me several mpunt bracket numbers and seal numbers but they dont cross or no one has it. All discontinued.
This is strange. XJ motor mounts usually look like this:
Grand Cherokee mounts look like this:
The pics you posted above look a lot more like the Grand Cherokee mounts than the Cherokee. What engine is in this thing? Is it original? Maybe someone swapped engine mounts for WJ or ZJ mounts for some reason.
Also, edited to add:

Did they look it up by the VIN number? The last time I got parts from the dealership, they wouldn't look it up until they had the VIN number to make sure they had the right part for my Jeep. If they use the VIN number and come up with something different from what's on your Jeep now, I would strongly suspect that it has been modified for some reason.

These are the parts i received from rock auto. I saw a post a while back where another person was having the same problem and had the same trans mount as me but the thread died and op never said if he found the right mount.
I am 1 ASE certification, (Steering and suspension), from being a L1, A9, Master ASE Tech. I also worked at advance auto parts for years so im not new to cross referencing numbers. I would go out of my way to find my customers parts even if it meant they went to a competitor.
I am about to just go to a pick and pull junk yard and get it used.
i almost forgot since the mounts i ordered from rock auto were so cheap ($18.00 for all three) if i returned them im loosing 13.00 in just shipping alone. i know its not much but it was a waste. The rubber piece cost more to return than what its worth, and rock auto wont help we with return cost because it "isnt their fault". I told them i would purchase the parts from them if they helped me find them and he said they couldnt find them either.

Yea i actually worked at a dealership too as a tech most dealerships always start of asking for a VIN. All looked up by VIN All original parts. One previous owner and i have all maintenance records. its a 2.5L and apparently there weren't to many of these bad boys made.

Well I'm stumped. I'm still thinking someone has swapped in mounts from a different Jeep, because the ones you got from Rock Auto look correct and the dealership is telling you the same thing. If you figure it out, please post back here.
I did try quadratec same result.
Xjmike thats the same one i got from rock auto and the ones every part store pulls up.
I believe there is no such thing as an expert, we never stop learning. Yea I'm almost master but I'm only 22 years old there's no way I'm am expert.
No there would be no where bolt them up to the frame. If you look at the third picture under the post titled some more pics you see the metal of the mount sort of wraps around the frame and fans out. All have at least 4 holes for mounting to the frame.
I might pull the mounts this week end and snap some more pics. It was never modified in any way. I just noticed but the mounts have OEM part numbers on them so they have never been changed. I dont take it muddin and it ain't a rock crawler just a DD.

These are close but they dont "fan out". I think I'll just try to find them locally and try to match them up if they dont I'll return them.
I appreciate all the help and advice guys.
