I've been searching for some pics of installed ORA t-box skids, because I'd like to see how it bolts on under there, and how much it will affect the ground clearance, but I just can't find any!
It's no problem for me to make one myself, but if I the ORA one suits my needs that would help my lazy a$$ a lot!

It bolts to the same points as the transfer box mounts. Also check out the jimnybits transferbox guard, takes just minutes to fit.

The reason I'm thinking about getting the ORA one is because they offer a combo deal of t-box fitting kit + skid plate, and if I get the fitting kit I could crab a skid plate on the same order if it's good. Otherwise I'm gonna fab my own skid(if I could raise the t-box some, I think I could make it out of almost flat plate so it wouldn't affect the ground clearance much...).

I got an ORA one Paul. It's very good and my only criticism is that it's dished and would hold an inch of water when you jetwashed it after a days off roading. I drilled half a dozen 10mm holes in mine and liberally undersealed the top prior to fitting it.

Yeah, I was thinking about drilling a few good sized holes in it if I end up getting me one. Being made out of 6mm plate(bit of an overkill if you ask me), it should hold up pretty well even if there's some holes in it!

One thing to be careful of if your rocklobster has an xbrake you need to space the ORA one down from the chassis legs with a few washers to create the necessary space above it/

This isn't ORA, it's mine. Kinda big but good drainage and you can see the mount points. I got sick of wires getting caught out in the bush but no problems since I fitted it. I've seen some that are moulded around the transfer box and they are probably better but I like to keep things simple. Did not have to drill any holes.
Found a pic from before I fitted it, may help other home-builders.

That's a nice looking skid plate ZookFastback! I'm so lazy to fab things up these days, so I'm gonna save all my fabricating energy to make worlds coolest looking bumpers for my Jim, so I just ordered the ORA t-box fitting kit and skid, and the 6.5 gears are on their way from the States!
