Re: diff hoops
I guess you mean a driveshaft hoop? Best to download the lvvta stuff so you get all the specs on where it has to be mounted, steel thickness, clearances etc etc
Re: diff hoops
probibly drive shaft hoop?? you should just call your certifer they will know if you need one on each section and tell you anything else that sometimes gets missed like fan covers

Re: diff hoops
I fitted a generic one from Trademe, just took the two L brackets and mounted them around the other way. So they hang down lower if that makes sense? past cert all good and I just unbolt the bottom part of the loop when offroad so not to catch on shit. 

Softroader VW Amarok nowadays....
