Poly Engine Mounts

Poly Engine Mounts
I had Falconworks install a custom set of polyurethane engine mounts today. They had them custom made to their CAD drawing specs at a company in the U.K.
My truck is a 1999 Discovery 1 with the 4.0 V8 engine.
I kept tearing up the OEM rubber engine mounts. My rock crawling had me going through a pair about every 6-8 months. We'll see what these polys do, time-wise, but they should be a lot stronger.
My cost was about $50 for the pair, but you should call for current pricing and shipping if you need a set.
I'm not affiliated with Falconworks, other than they're friends that specialize in Land Rovers and Jaguars, and I'm a happy customer of theirs. I beat up my truck, they put it back together. I wanted a custom engine and supercharger in my Jag, they did it.

Interesting. Are those a two piece design?
I've been running the Jaguar V12 motor mounts for some years now and no problems at all. JLM1010 is the part #. They have a larger OD and won't fit the TC mounts though.
Curious, what brand were the rubber mounts you've been eating? I'm guessing not Genuine.

Jag mounts
The Jag mounts are a good idea. I almost went that route, but the fellow in the UK that casts them was willing to do it off of a CAD drawing from Falconworks. I've been going through the OEM rubber mounts. I don't know the company name in the UK, but Falconworks can bring them in. I believe that each mount is a single piece. Feel free to call them to ask details. The maker originally sent mounts that fit a diesel. This is their first set for a V8 in the states.
I've been chasing an externally caged Toyota that's built like a tank with huge tires and a custom turbo diesel Mercedes engine over some gnarly stuff. 'Gotta represent the Rovers right!
