Alright there is about 3 or 4 ways i ahve seen this done and want some info on EACH and all in the one thread!
What have you done?
How did you do it?
Some pics would be awsome!
After the weekend( Bent main mount the one that go's diagonla with chassis rail and sheered off 3 of the 4 bolts on the drivers side holding the case to the mount! ) I'm lucky i din't fuc* the box up!
Let me know what you have done and wack up some picks! I need to sort something out it held in with a ratchet strap!
CHEERS GUYS!
Built swb sierra, building a lwb sierra ute and have a dmax for family camping
there are some places that do it in Oz but its generally cheaper to get that sorta stuff from the US. I just got the spidertrax mounts....look really good and strong enough for my 4.9s.... although the mighty kong incorporates a bashplate as well for a little more.
I really like the mighty Kong as it takes some of the torsional load off the case and spreads the load better between the mounts

Once you have lockers and get into ledges and stuff they can go pretty easily. It's all down to how much traction you can generate.
Out in interest, the early 1.0 mounts are superior- they mount on 4 points and the case is less likely to twist.

sorry i forgot to mention i was locked rear and now locked front as well. my side mount twisded so i bought a new one and braced it up at one stage, but thats all
That's normally adequate but did you brace it to a couple of the front output bolts? This will REALLY prevent it bending and help prevent the bolts breaking out of the case.
The next thing that will go is that the tension mount will bend and the case will hit the floor. Not really a show stopper though.
Remember, whenever you reinforce something, you move the force into something else, be it chassis mounts, or upstream into the gearbox/engine mounts.

Of course to do this it will raise the transfer up a few inches and unless you have a BL you'll have to do some major cutting
thats awesome! how many inches higher?
Do you have a pic from the other side showing upper track bar mount markil?
Does anyone know if driveshaft angles become a problem in a SWB? say spoa on std. springs with the transfer higher?
The roctoy ring looks preety easy but i don't really want to open up the case again!
Gwagensteve the mount i had had 4 bolts holding that side to the mount then the actuall mount is secured in 2 places paralel to the chassis rail! Do you mean the mount has 4 mounting points or the case to the mount? Cause i thought all had 4 bolts holing the case to the mount on the drivers side?
Markil now that is reiforced! But i don't have a body lift and i don't wanna go cutting too much.......
Keep it coming guys!
