Default Replacing Engine Mounts

I am looking to replace my blown out engine mounts and am wondering if I should go with the basic Anchor or Crown engine mounts or go with something that will either last longer or take more of a beating. 92 XJ 6.5" L.A. 33" M/Ts
Is it worth splurging basically the extra $100 for rugged ridge, Mopar, or Energy Supension?

Check out BrownDog, too. They have an upgraded mount that doesn't give alot of vibration in the body.

just remember if you upgrade to something other then rubber (i.e. urethane) you will get a lot of vibrations transfer into the body and you may not like it. I just replaced mine with NAPA motor mounts $12 a piece

Correct. I put the urethane mounts in my wife's XJ. Luckily I was building an XJ for my son-in-law who could care less about vibrations at the same time. He ended up getting the poly mounts and I went back to stock on my wife's.

But, BrownDog makes a HD mount with a softer bushing that's supposed to be strong and not "vibraty".

I think I'm just going to go with the Anchor mounts from NAPA as well. I use the jeep as a daily driver until I purchase another vehicle. Thanks for the input everyone

I run Part Store OEM type cause they're only $15 and You don't get engine vibes. I keep a spare in my Parts kit when I go on weekend Rock trips.
