Also Available from them are their BombProof Block Brackets which is a nice upgradeThis mount is IDEAL for XJ Cherokee owners where the unitized body is known for transmitting vibration from the engine (with polyurethane style motor mounts). This "Torsion" Rubber style mount will clamp the engine in place far better then the stock junk mounts do, however, they will not transmit vibration like polyurethane mounts do!
Other Models ....The factory block brackets are retained w/ 3 bolts, We have seen many cases where the bolts come loose or break causing the engine to fall. Sometimes this will also damage the block ( Threaded Bosses ) . We have come up with a replacement bracket that will bolt on using 7-8 existing threaded holes on the side of the block.

They Have the largest Verity I have seen ...When riding offroad, the Brown Dog demands the more secure feeling he gets with Brown Dog Offroad high performance motor mounts (MM) under the hood of his Jeep Wrangler YJ. Why? Because he doesn't want a sagging Jeep engine miles from civilization.
That's why Brown Dog Offroad engineered motor mounts to take the abuse of extreme trails. Just be sure to inspect your engine brackets for cracks before installing our mounts. Or, just to be safe, upgrade engine brackets while you upgrade mounts and save a bit by ordering a kit. A busted engine bracket will stop your Jeep in your tracks. After all, it was a busted bracket that started Brown Dog Offroad.
Select Ultra-Flex Rubber or Classic Polyurethane bushings. Or put our proprietary Ultra-Flex Rubber motor mounts on your daily driver and Classic Polyurethane motor mount lifts on the trail rig. Not sure which is best for your situation? Compare rubber and polyurethane here.
Every joint double-welded - If a joint doesn't hold, the Brown Dog will replace it. No charge. And, if you happen to break the plate steel, we'll congratulate you for doing something no one else has done. We'll also want to see action photos because it must have been amazing. While you're sending photos, your replacement Brown Dog mounts will be on the way.
We believe less engine vibration is transmitted when Brown Dog motor mounts (MM) or motor mount lifts (MML) are carefully installed according to instructions (including torque and tightening specifications). And no, we're not going to let others know how we do it. Except to say, it's in the Brown Dog design.
Why select Brown Dog Offroad?
*Built for high performance: More steel. Better welds. Attention to detail. Grade 8 or 10.9 Metric hardware.
* Extreme testing: Stands up to tough torsional stresses experienced on Arizona's most brutal trails. 20-Ton Press Test assures structural integrity.
*Customer Service: Extended technical service. Free 2-3 day shipping to any USA or military (APO/FPO) address. Backed by the Brown Dog Promise.
Our bottom line: we want you to tell your Jeepin friends about us so they can offroad with a more secure feeling, too.
