Does anyone make a AW4 trans poly mount like Brown Dog's motor mounts?

Brown Dog should make them, but they don't. Ironman Fab has them, but for some reason only sells them with their motor mounts and compared to Brown Dog's they look puny. I've searched with multiple search engines. I need to crowd source the answer since many of you folks are absolute experts.

Ironman fab sells them individually. $ 110.00
As far as strength goes, take a look at some of the things Andy does with his jeeps. The shop is a little slow, but the quality is top notch.

Agreed. I use factory mounts also. My Xj is a daily driver, and I don’t want any unnecessary vibrations. Just pointing out Ironman does sell their trans mount individually and I would have no concerns with strength or performance. I use their steering brace and trac bar set up. The quality is outstanding. Right down to the textured powder coat.

Just give Andy a call and you’ll be set. Just placed a big order with him for parts including the transmission mount. Dude was super patient and knowledgeable, spent a half hour on the phone with him just talking shop and discussing setups. Customer service of that level is a rare thing these days.

Yeah, for some reason when I was searching their site it wasn't coming up, but *of course* when I go to their page today it's on the front page. I think I was just overlooking it.

I mean, I don't want to sound like a ***** (not sure what word this was) either, but, yes, I know that. I'm almost to double that mileage. My motor mounts are shot. I want to change the trans mount too when I do that. People always say "factory works fine" and that's true for a lot of things, but if I'm going through the trouble to order 100$ motor mounts then I'm going to get a trans mount to match.

Yeah, they seem like a good company. I'm about to buy their WJ knuckle-swap kit and C-gussets.

Yeah, I was just missing it. Sometimes I'm so focused on other places that I miss things right in my face.
