I did a quick search and din't really find what I was looking for. I need to replace both motor mounts and the transmission mount. I want to go with poly, but can't seem to figure out which ones. I need something affordable yet durable.... any suggestions?

Any reason you want poly? The problem with poly mounts and unibody is poly transmits a lot of vibes and because the cab and frame are one you will feel all those engine vibes, unlike standard OEM torsion rubber, as for the trans mount id just go with OEM its strong and does what is supposed to and is affordable at about $30, OEM motor mounts are i think bout $15 a side.....or you could go with MORE bombproof mounts but they run about $120 and up depending on where you buy from.

When i replaced mine i went with the MORE motor mounts and an OEM trans mount.

ive heard brown dog motor mounts are good as well.

so I should stay with the rubber I guess. I didn't think about the vibration with poly. Thanks for the help.

yea i wanted to go the poly route as well and then i was informed bout the negatives of poly and unibody combos......and im glad i did cause ive rode in a few civics with built motors and poly mounts and it was pretty bad and the owners hated em and shortly after installing them replaced em with rubber mounts, and i know a civic aint the same as a jeep but same idea

Also cant say ive been disappointed with my MORE bombproof mounts, much more rigid than an OEM mount in a good way.
