broken motor mount - best replacement?
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.
In our experience, a torn transmission mount can transmit lots of vibration. After you change the t-mount, if you still have lots of vibes call us. We'll help you track down the source of the vibes.

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 ended up switching back to stock mounts and all vibrations are gone.
the brown dog mounts i have are rubber and there is nothing wrong with them, bushings are still good. i also changed the trans mount again.(did what the instructions said and replaced it when i put the brown dog ones in )
the cherokee is my dd. i have no carpet, and mt tires. im sure its not just the motor mounts falt but the less rattle/noise i can get in my jeep the better.
i dont mind the slight vibration its all the **** that rattles on my jeep because of it that drives me crazy. if i took the time to track down every piece of plastic that was making noise/ rattling and put in pading or something the brown dogs would be great.
i got these mounts after going thru two sets of stock mm in a few months. at the time i had a tcase drop and i think it was putting a lot of stress on the motor mounts. the brown dog mm held up great but now that i have a sye im gonna try the stock ones again for a while.
