so i was wheeling the otherday and went into a mud hole and in the bottom the the mud hole was a broken log and i smoked the log and broke my drivers side motor mount.. it ripped the two bolts right out and broke the little extension that the bolt screws into right off.. so i was looking at after market mounts and was wondering if anyone knew the best bang for my buck.. im gonna do both sides so i dont have this happen again.. it took me forveer to get home when the motor fell it made me stuck in 3rd and i had to put it in low and try to creep took forever i kept stalling when i came up to a big rock pain in the ***.. haha but im looking for a mount that hooks up with as many bolts as possible especially considering im already down two holes on drivers side.. let me know your opinions.. thanks

 

Brown dog offroad

 

thanks thats what i came across in my searching.. seems like the best bet to me... and its the only ones i can find..

 

Yuuup

 

X3 on brown dog. Get the super block bracket kit. The fact that i know i wont have motor mount issues is worth every penny.

 

brown dog ftw!

 

Install 'em and forget 'em....

 

One of the best purchases I have made during this current project. Brown Dogs are worth every cent.

 

What about the 1 in lift mounts? What would u use tho for? I am going to get new mounts and noticed that. I have a 4.5 in lift what would be good?

 

sorry to thread jack but how do you guys like your brown dog motor mounts? I have them and they are def beef but i get a ton of vibration through the body with them.

i got them because i went through two sets of stock motor mounts in less then a year( i have a tcase drop im sure that puts more stress on them)

 

I have the rubber mounts. Just followed the instructions, torqued them to their specs. There was a little vibration in the first week or so, but it went away.

 

They could be overtightened. We have a tendency to tighten the crap out of them since we do not want the engine falling out . If they are too tight, the bushing can't absorb the vibes properly.
I did not notice an increase or decrease in vibes when I put mine in. Although there was no more knocking from the bolt hitting metal since there was no rubber in the driver side.

 

Another vote for Brown Dog.

xjheep92, try loosening the motor mount bolts some. If they're too tight they'll transfer the engine vibrations through the body.

 

Yea, I have loosened them but there was no change. Its when I'm sitting still in drive. I also have no carpet/bedlined floor. I'll be sticking with the BD mounts any way. I'll try replacing the trans mount. maybe ill pull out the center console and dash trim and and add some felt pads/ anti vibrating stuff.

 

Wow! Thanks to everyone for the very kind words. We're a small company and this means a lot to us.

1" MMLs are rarely used on an XJ. In fact, we call anyone who orders an MML for an XJ to be sure they know what they're getting into. Although commonly used on Wranglers, the Cherokee is much tighter under the hood and between the tunnel and the bell housing.

If you're still set on 1" MMLs for an XJ, find some modeling clay or PlayDoh and make a 1" ball set it on the highest point under your hood (usually the radiator hose) and check for clearance. We know of a very few XJ owners who 'modified' the radiator hose to fit (not suggested by us). The tunnel can be "rubbed" by the housing until it clears or a hole can be cut in the tunnel to clear or a sledge can be used to bump the tunnel up.
