Re: What motor mounts do you have? Why?
I have solids in the Ty.... I wanted no uncertainty about them holding, and I wasn't too worried about vibrations. I daily drive my Ty when the weather is nice, and they haven't bothered me at all.
For the Sonoma, I'm going with ES poly's ... I don't like the stock design, but for what I have in that truck I don't think solids are necceesary. It's also intended to be a daily, but I'm not the only one who is going to be driving it and some people mind the vibrations (what little there are) more than I do

Solids for me. Did not want to have to change them ever again.

After breaking the second stock driver side mount, I replaced the driver side with solid and the passenger side with stock.No problems now.The vibration transmitting into the interior is minimal.There are some good posts on here about how to change the mounts.

Solids. 1/2 done. Didn't want to ever do it again. They're out but not in. Now that I got the darn things out and I sorta know what I'm doing it's not that bad. Time consuming mostly. Different folks have different tricks. Lotsa good posts on the topic.

I've got polys on the Sy, wrapped in some starter heat shield wrap. I've got ATR headers and have had no probs with melting.
The stock mounts on my Ty are busted, so I'll be doing polys on it as well in the next few days.

:stupid: The time, trouble and cost of other broken parts is not worth having to do it twice.
J/S mounts rule and this is a one time fix!

X4. The motor mount swap took a buddy and me 12 hours from start to finish. Never again!
A mechanic buddy of mine looked up what the job called for in the mechanic's time quote book. It said 3 hours and I told him I was gonna drop it off that weekend. He said, "the hell you are, I'll put a 1 in front of the 3!" He knew how much of a PITA these things are.
I find the interior vibration to be a little more than I expected from what everyone else was posting......but tolerable.
