Make certain to put some seat belt webbing around it - otherwise its not going to last very long in my experience. Should be lots of references in search if your unsure - but its pretty easy to do.
Not a bad idea to do the gearbox mount as well as I've broken one of those as well and then the engine moves and takes the engine mounts with it.
In fact the Feroza's mounts are just under spec if you do any serious off roading. I'm sort of convinced its a torque issue - the Feroza doesn't have any torque control mechanism, unlike a Vitara for example, and I think this is what largely contributes to the engine mount problem.
I'm using V8 Rover mounts on the engine and transmission with a custom torque control bush to resist the torque reaction caused by the crawler gears.
Problem solved - unfortunately they aren't compatible with stock.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
