Under a load or on acceleration . They may be coming from the trans mount. My next step is to isolate the cross member bolts. Then I plan on trying the corvette mounts or the ford ranger mounts. The ranger mounts are similar and liquid filled. I thought they may be softer due to a less horsepower engine. My tach does not work yet but the vibes seem the worst around 2200 to 3000 using the speedometer rpm calculator.

I actually just bought a set of the engine mounts from Koch. With the a.c. do I need to use a different compressor and modify the bracket? Maybe if u get a chance to take some pics of what u have done with the a.c. compressor would give me an idea.

Mine started doing the same thing when the mounts started to collapse.

Kind of a stupid question. I've owned plenty of Cherokees and the 4.0 gets up and goes pretty well. How does the Mercedes do in comparison to the 4.0? Does it torque the jeep a lot?

Not even close. The Mercedes is a fat dog in comparison. What you get is simplicity, longevity and mileage. On the trail I prefer the Mercedes.
