Theres plenty of aftermarket mounts available, a lot are included or are an integral part of bash plates for the transfer too.
Just google it, search here, or someone will prob recommend something below

If you've got gears you need a Roctoy ring and then some booty fab.

Suggest you go buy brand new mounts from suzuki or from someone who can source genuine mounts , yours would be old and perished. Try new one's as you haven't got gears and you might be OK. If not you can go the bolted method of rubber bushes and high tensile bolts through the mount. This will hold your transfer in position but instead of the mount popping you start to bend mounting points. Where you doing something hard when it broke or didn't really notice it break. There are various types of mounts and the ROCTOY ring and booty fab mounts is the best ,but rquires a lot of work , just some things to think about , Cheers Paul.

Materials:
Threaded rod (preferably hight tensile)
Three 'swaybar type' rubbers (nolathane is better)
Two nyloc nuts
and
Two big washers

Install in this order:

1.Nut
2.Washer
3.Rubber
4. Transfercase crosmember/mount
5. Rubber
6. Chassis crossmember
7. Rubber
8.Washer
9 Nut

Buy enough rod to keep some spare in the toolbox just incase
If you got low range gears as said above get yourself a rocktoy ring

Just make sure you use nylocs or some sort of locking nut (even nut on nut)
The whole thing is rubber mounted so it will come loose otherwise

If you replace them with stock types make sure they are genuine (they have the bridgestone "B" on them.)

There are aftermarket versions available but they don't last and are about the same money.
