I think I had another thread here about buying them last fall so I thought I would follow up.
These are beefy, two piece assemblies that mount using the factory holes and placement. I was surprised they were shipped to me assembled backwards. I have done a few sets of motor mounts so I quickly noticed and corrected that, not sure if that would throw off someone doing this for the first time. Installation was straightforward.

Driving on them.
definitely more engine vibes felt, but not necessarily a nuisance. Mine is a trail truck and used for errands since I have daily drivers, so no issue for me. I did not notice any acceleration increase due to stiffness, but to be fair these are not rockets to begin with so not sure it would be measurable. Some reviews I read mentioned it, whatever.

Pricey at $250 but tired of swapping stock mounts. Let's see if they last.

Now...only if someone would make some solid trans/t-case mounts!

I have had solid engine mounts for years, but i break trans/t-case mounts quite often...

Save your money next time and get the beefier 300Tdi engine mounts.
I fitted a set for my Thor engine with no issues.
Looks like the same flawed design at $103? At some point that design leaves things just flopping around. The captive nature of the SG ones at least eliminates that.

$103? The prices must have went up. I bought a set of 300Tdi mounts for $30 when I installed mine on my V8 a couple of years ago.

The bushings on the cross bolt will wear out over time so something to check once in a while. I have the QT Services version.

But probably their best attribute, they'll never completely separate and let your engine twist!
