I too broke many stock style mounts doing rock crawling and such, and finally went to QT mounts for the engine and using stock style (for now) in the back. I wasn't aware of M.I.T.'s mounts (MIT Automotive - Evergreen's only Land Rover and BMW Service and Repair Facility) when I bought the QTs - would have liked to check his out first (since he's local to me).

never heard of MIT. you know someone running them? the Jag mounts are stronger than the stock rover mounts. and cost $24 a pair. the QT mounts are a bit more expensive wouldnt you say?

Wow, that's a good price. I think I paid almost $15 a piece from Rock Auto plus $10 shipping.

I bet I do know someone who's running them, but just don't know that they are running them. I don't typically poke my head under the hoods of other people's rigs to see what motor mounts they're using. Now that I'm thinking of it, I'll throw that question onto the club's forum... see who pops up.

The Jag mounts are stronger than the stock mounts. Are the Jag mounts stronger than QT mounts? Didn't see an answer to this question the first time it was asked.

Sure, the Jag mount costs less. I was tired of low-cost solutions which were failing me and I wasn't willing to try the Jag mounts just to find I could break them too - I wasn't in a gambling mood by that point. I was in a be-done-with-it mood and ponied up the dough for the QTs. That way, it was done and no longer a concern.

If the OP's friend wants a better CHEAP solution, go Jag mounts. If the OP's friend wants a permanent solution, go QTs or MITs.

The Jag mount will fail eventually and when it does it'll be just like having a failed OEM-style mount. If there's a bushing failure on a QT mount, the engine won't be going anywhere. You get what you pay for.

if money is no concern i would have mounts made of diamond. its far stronger than the QT mounts and will have just as much give.
