I don't mind paying for good stuff but it seems like the motor mounts people are recommending are pretty expensive. I want the rubber mounts for less vibration. I'll use the jeep as a second DD and to my buddy's lease, no major offroading.
I need some brand recommendations.
Thanks for your help.

They were expensive, but are of excellent quality!

I had some brown dogs on my stocker. Vibes were ok without ac on; awful with it on. Even with the through bolt torqued loosely. I put some advance $17 special mounts on after I took the Brown Dogs off. I prefer the oem style mounts a lot more. The only way I would put Brown Dogs back on is for an built off roader.

Make sure you check for broken bolts on the engine brackets! I had to use the Brown Dog style ones due to bolts breaking on the bracket on the engine side. I have the rubber ones from them, and the vibes are noticeable, but not horrible. After driving around with my engine flopping around in the old stock ones, I'll make the trade, even if I really only DD

Reason people like me and other people are getting poly brown dog mounts is because the stock mounts cant handle the abuse people throw at them off road i had new motor mounts less then a year old i checked them out they were completely cracked all the way around
