Default Motor Mounts...You decide

I'm replacing my headers soon and figured the mounts are due for an upgrade as well. I'm stuck between to brands. Brown dog and ironman4x4fab. Both come out to same price $110. Input is needed and greatly appreciated. Below are links to each:

I got the Brown Dogs /w rubber mounts and I've been pretty happy with them. I'd call them to see if they have them in stock. I ordered mine online and had to wait a month to get mine. Also search around the internet, I found a 10% coupon code for browndog.

Brown Dog. Their lead time is somewhat high but from what EVERYBODY says it's worth it...

I also got the brown dog after researching. Haven't installed them yet though. Mine are the poly ones. They look nice.

Brown dog on my DD. Has some vibes, but wouldn't go any other way. Their block mount saved my 4.0 from the common bolt breaking problem.

I ordered the brown-dog ones about two weeks ago- the entire kit- for my stroker. I'm not complaining I understand it takes him awhile to make them- He instantly emailed me telling me that they entered production. I chose them because of the overwhelming good reviews. We will see when they get here.

I have the Brown Dog poly mounts. The vibrations aren't too bad. Only noticeable at idle. Also it took about 4 weeks to get them to my door, but was well worth the wait.

Brown dog. I've had mine for two years now and couldn't be happier.

Edit: Ha, guess I was a few minutes late in my reply! You'll be happy with them for sure.

Can't complain about my brown dogs. Had them in about a week and a half and that was after they told me they were backed up. Went with poly mounts. Vibes at idle but sometimes it's hardly noticeable. Super beefy, would buy again

if you have a 1996-down xj get brown dog mounts and plates because it is inevitable that your motor mount brackets will shear off
