Re: first surf build.
I did briefly search for a twin transfer or something along the lines of that to push it backwards, but that doesn't seem to exist for these transfer/trans. I have collected a hzj79 transfer/the correct extension housing to go from lex auto to transfer.(thanks big) have a step up ag box to drive the...

Re: first surf build.
Oh yeah that sounds a bit drastic. I say chop EVERYTHING behind the B-Pillar off and remove the firewall. Move the engine back to make the front drive shaft longer and then rebuild the back end in full truggy mode (including PTO driven God winch) and go racing! that might be a little drastic haha I...

Re: first surf build.
that's very helpful info you always come through with Arron, much appreciated. I've got most parts of the puzzle there, im confident the rear will be ok, but the front driveshaft would be reduced to 500 or 550 (200shorter than current )overall length. that is the bit that potentially concerns me re ...

Re: 70series prado auto
interesting it would mean my front drive shaft would be approx 220mm shorter than it currently is, so overall length would be reduced to about 550mm long, seems quite short.drive flange would be about rear trans sump bolts.
rear shaft would need to be approx 50mm longer.

Re: 70series prado auto
that would be appreciated. I'm actually running a 1uz auto, but I was on the understanding that I would just require the different extension housing between auto and transfer to connect everything?

Re: pto driven hydraulic winch
yea magic thanks for your help. that's the kinda thing i want.. shes a bit of a heavy cow, but I think the added weight of a hydro winch be more beneficial than not having it. also have a pto gear already one of our local suppliers had them listed as spare parts .

yes there is a collar or spacer that joins the out put from auto to input of transfer that by memory is about 60-70mm long. this is where I was planning to fit the drive gear. magic, I'll add a 3-1 box to my list of items to collect.

i have a silly idea to want to mount a midmount hydraulic winch to me surf(the term surf is quite vague in this instance...) for a couple of reasons- bigger drum, more pull, maybe speed not essential tho. now i dont currently have the option of a pto drive but have a plan to utilise some cruiser bit...

Re: 1990 surf
Trans is easy to wire into manual shift, 2 relays and a couple diodes.just using the inihator switch as your control?
I also added a transgo shift kit to the valve body, to make gear shifts a bit more positive under power. ( granted im running more power than the average kzn130 tho)

Re: Dual Power
Would suggest against tapping off the 12v battery in the 24v system. You will end up with one flat battery.
Either stand alone 12v alt,
Or 12v house battery(s?) And a 24v -12v charger to charge the house battery. A dc-dc charger or similar
