Default Aftermarket Motor Mounts ?

I need new motor mounts. I have been reading about how poly mounts vibrate too much and how the oem ones wear to easy. My question is which aftermarket motor mounts have you guys used? and what were your thoughts on them?

I have looked into the Rusty's Offroad ones which I really like because I can just replace to bushing as opposed to the entire mount. I also really like the M.O.R.E. bombproof mounts because they look very well built.

Any insight into this matter would be very helpful.

i am soooo dumb for not looking into mounts before I ordered some today from autozone. I was actually looking up info on filling the stock ones with some liquid nail or some other type of poly or something when I found this thread. facepalm? so what do you think about filling the voids so the mounts are stiffer and last longer?

I just spoke to the guy at iron man 4x4. he said his mounts use a lighter a solution of poly to make the vibration from the poly mounts much more bareable. I am going to buy his mounts tomorrow. I think. I am still open to ideas and comments.

Another option which I like

There are lots of options and Ironmans are definitely the route I would go for poly but the above if you want a solid rubber that won't wear out.

those brown dog mounts are awesome. I might have to get those. Does temperature have anything to do with your mounts? meaning does poly work better below freezing?

Poly will hold up to chemicals better then rubber will. The side effect is more vibes.

so dont worry about the vibrations. because they are not that bad and the poly will hold up better in the long run.

is that what I am to understand?
