You know that the Roctoy ring is not an actual mount to the chassis right? You have to weld your own mounts to it as seen in the above pictures.

as mentioned.. you have to attach the rocktoy ring to the mounts. other wise your defeting the purpose of having the ring pretty much!! You may aswell strenghten your mounts too (both the rubber blocks, the chassis mounts, and the transfer mounts).. cause these are the next weakest points that may fail. Seeing that your shifting the tourqe from the housing (cause your running the ring), the tourqe will then go to the next weakest points.. which i just mentioned. I put a section of angle iron in my D/S mounts, and followed the shape of the original mount, as for the P/S, i just replaced it with some tonka tough flat bar. then remember, to WELD it all together!

yes i know you need to weld it to the mounts.

just asking in strengh wise anyone got anything bad to say about them?

brendan I think if you need stronger than that you have other issues.
mate they are the best you will get.
I dont have one ive got beefed up standards but a mate has and the are the shit to have.

sorry mate.. yeah, nothing bad at all to say from me.. i'm running 35's, 6:5 -1, and twin lockers.. and its proven to be great! Although, i just finished doing more mods to the mounts, cause the bolt holes have been getting slogged out.. but thats nothing to do with the ring

u tripper... few cans last night???

Ive had one on mine for over a year now. Havn't had any issues with it. Takes a little bit of work to set it up initially, but the end result is piece of mind.

Here are the best pictures I have of my setup. Its setup to work with no bodylift or floor modification, and with the case clocked slightly to raise the low side. Because I dont run a BL, half way along the top side a wedge of the ring was removed, but I see this as being half way between the two mounts, hence permissable.
The long anlge mount is original, but rienforced; the top mount is 10mm steel bent in a press, then a long cut in it with the end of the ring welded on both sides of this plate. The skid plate on the bottom is completely seperate and can be removed. The base of the ring was trimmed slightly, and the skid plate just rests on the ring.





Sorry about the odd photo sizes, but photobucket is messing with me

got my tcase back finanly.

started on my roctoy ring. think it should hold up to the abuse


looking at everyones elses see as though ni should put some weld in there? and the cross braces wenrt realy needed?



just a bit of showing off

finished it off. didnt add any gusents/reinforce on the other mount. should be alright
