Don't buy one for that price, that's a ripoff, I paid 60 or 80 for mine

Bakers, might be hard to find a decent one at the wreckers but worth a try

I have a brand new one sitting here from Hawk. I couldn't find one under $150 up here. Got 2 sent up. I can check my CC and let you know the price if you want.

You should be able to jack up the engine and unbolt the old one and slide the new one in and bolt it up.
Of course I have been known to be wrong.
;D

I understand from a fellow zukier that certain dodge motor mounts nearly bolt directly in place.  (Just don't use one of the studs on the new mount.)
Stonger and way cheaper.

 I bet if you searched pirate you might be able to find it.

(oops!  92sidekick4x4 beat me to it! LOL)

If all else fails, I'd rush down to the local junkyard and pick one off a dead truck.

If you have a "U-Remove-It" kind of place (we have one called "U Wrench It"), you can probably get it for less than twenty bucks.

Most junkyard Trackers suffer from "death by no motor oil", (symptom: thrown rod) so something like a motor mount should be in pretty good shape.

yeah the one i picked up was already take off, so i figured, 20 compared to liek 100 that ervyery on else wanted was worth it
