Hey guys,
I know there is probably a few posts already about this but I'm not the best with computers to find them, so i thought I'd just put the question out there again. What is the best cradle set up for the transfer? Will be putting 6.5:1 gears in at the same time. Have had a look on low range and there is a few on there but thought I might ask of your opinions.
Cheers
Fletcher

I am personally running a might kong one and it has been a great thing fro me. Still retains factory mounts and also can act as a skid plate and stop you smashing the case.

Sean from low range told me that in a few weeks they will have a new cradle on the market. apparently it will be stronger and better than the mighty Kong and it will be able to be post in the $65 package. so that what ill be waiting for.

Cheers for the replies guys, I'm probably getting mine in 3 weeks so I might look out for this new one. Has anyone bought the big orange cradles? They look pretty insane.

Personally I run a roc7oy ring to hold the case together, lifted case and will be fitting a flat bash plate across the chassis rails. Once you start fitting gears the mounts are under enough stress let alone hitting rocks with the weight of the vehicle coming down on them.

My swb i just ran a roctoy ring welded into the original but strengthened mounts. Never had a problem with 1.6, 6.5's 32" and original diff ratios.. Used to thrash it too.
My new one will be similar to just_cruizin
