yea I could get a few years out of a set of motor mounts if there a good set. I dont want to take the time and find out the mounts I got are junk and now Im in the same position I was last year. Fix it right the first time and be done with it.

I didint mean to say you drive like miss daisy, sorry.

 

No offense taken. I just hate to see people waste money they don't have to. And just remember, aftermarket parts aren't bullet proof either so there is always the chance that your upgraded mounts could fail as well. That's why I think it's a waste to spend the money on certain things. Goodluck on your find. If you want to find something to keep your ride smoother and feel less of the engine vibrations then try to get something with a softer material. The harder the mount the more you'll feel it.

 

I understand what your sayin but the reason I want to go with this brand is there lifetime warrenty and they also have a line of mounts that are ment for reducing engin vibes(not sayin it will be as good a ride as stock but better than poly mounts). I appriciate your point of view and I like that not everyone on here is pushing to cut up and modify your rig to the point where you cant recognize it or drive it to work.

now if anyone is still reading this and knows of a good tranny mount, I like the rustys mount for 60 bucks but I dont know if there is a better one or if the rustys is even good or not. I could go with a oem style mount but the last one I put in a year ago is toast and I dont want to replace my parts every year. I got my last one from kragen or what ever it is now and I dont want to get it from them a second time. autozone is not what Im looking for as well

 

got the set of ultra flex mounts orderd tonight. Cant wait for them to show up. Hope it wont take long.

 

Anybody ever use these energy-suspension mounts?

They are designed to be an "insert" for your existing OEM mounts. You tear out your old rubber and install these in the old metal housing.

I'd be curious how stiff the ride is.

 

LOL,,, Dont forget, Miss Daisy was rock crawling in reverse with her Hudson, right thru the bushes and down the retaining wall,,, she would have made it if she would of had a set of 35" KM3's.

 

Brown Dog Mounts are guaranteed for life,, the shop manager said they have NEVER had a failure,,never, even high horsepower, strictly competition vehicles. I put on a complete kit, engine clamps and all, on my 97 XJ, just cause I saw a set, have heard about broken and stripped out bolt bosses on 4.0 engines (allowing the engine to totally break loose). I have visions of a failure like this on my trips out west, maybe while trying a 3 point switch back turn on Black Bear Pass, or some other hairy trail. I'm not a radical rock crawler, but I've read about this failure, even on local mall crawlers that never go off road. For me, I tried to do all suspension and drive train enhancement by using the best, things like Tom Woods shafts with SYE, IRO complete short arm kit with all the needed track bars, Lockers front and rear, 4.56 gears, and such, just trying to make sure I don't break down. I do agree with replacing the OEM mounts with the same thing, but if your going off road, you cant go wrong with this product.Just check the tapped holes and such on your 4.0.

 

TRQ427, you bring up a good point about the motor mount bracket holes not being tapped.
This problem showed up beginning in 1991 with the HO blocks. easy to take care of now. An absolute ***** to take care of after the bolts break!!
The holes in the block on the distributor were either too long or the holes weren't tapped deeply enough. So, the bracket isn't clamped to the block, but the bolt is tight....
easy fix. Remove the bolts one at a time and add a thick flat washer under the bolt heads.
