I'm planning to upgrade the engine mounts with ones from Brown Dog Offroad but don't see that they offer a trans mount. I have tried internet and forum searches and have not found anything but stock or cheap junk stock aftermarket trans mounts. Any suggestions for an upgrade trans mount to go with the Brown Dog engine mounts?

I've heard the day star ones are just fine.

Going poly or rubber with the brown dogs?

I just run a stock one with my brown dogs.

Daystar is the only upgrade I've seen. I ran it for a short while and hated it. Way too many vibes for my taste. I just run stock now with my Brown Dogs. Works just fine.

Thanks for the replies! I'm leaning toward rubber for the BD mounts since it's my daily driver and I'm not running big lift or huge tires yet, only 235/75R15's at this point until the appropriate suspension and driveline upgrades are done. Nice thing about the BD mounts is being able to easily change to poly later.


So stock will most likely be the way to go for me on the trans mount. Don't need anything that will contribute to vibrations since this won't ever be a serious rock crawler. So any recommended brand for a stock type? OE from Jeep? Or is there a recomendable good quality aftermarket mount that's worth running?

I had Daystar engine and trans mounts but shortly replaced the trans back with a stock one. All three are great for a street only vehicle but when off-road with all three mounts stiff, you lose a little chasis flex and tends to break the bolts outta the mounts.

Wow! Good info, hadn't thought about that part of the chassis flexing that much. So now to find a quality stock type trans mount.

X2 hell the ones I have lasted 230,000 surely a new set of the stock ones will last me for as long as I have left

Have you looked at the ironman motored mounts they raise your engine an inch so you will have to trim your fan shroud but I couldn't blow them out and as far as trams mount the stock one should hold up fine after words
