Interesting - it's been a while since I changed mine out but I don't recall having to do anything with a "tone ring"...

"Metaphors be with you"
I just checked the parts catalog and Isuzu calls it a rotor sensor. They want ~$180 each for those rings! #8-97018-425-1. They are shared with any '92+ Trooper if your local yard has any. Maybe ya can find something aftermarket for much less.

Edit- That price sounds crazy, so I went back and checked. It's true! They want ~$150 for the rotor and ~$180 just for that little ring!
Further checking shows that ring part # was replaced by a new part #8-97096-411-0 that goes for $90-100. A little more reasonable.
A search of that part # shows it fits a Honda Passport, so ya can order that at your local Honda dealer.

Mark,
Having actually delt with that ring I think $90-$100 is still WAY to much to pay for that thing. It's just a goofy piece of metal and not very substantial at that. I guess the price comes in when they have to machine/cut/cast all those little peaks and valleys into the ring.
I say try and find it in a U-pull-it yard...it's not like they go bad.

Ya, did my research on it and sheeesh. Talk about a pain in the arse of you want to replace one. That little bit of metal.... with lots of work (imagine doing all 4!). No easy way to check them either without tearing down some. I honestly am curious if I even have them since I had a shop change out my latest rotors. Hard to really tell since my ABS was hosed since before then, heh,
