I know my 100 is 12v only. as far as I know all 100s are just 12v start also.

skidmark

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 .

skidmark

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 was thinking that would be the case to allow the drive winch com...

currently have Lexus auto with surf transfercase, which we all know has no pto drive... I have a plan which envoles some cutting and welding or plan b is a prado case but offset drive. plan a is to make a 70 series pto fit, so gear ratios should be similar to a factory prado set up. more curious if ...

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...

as I side note, I doubt that solenoid can handle 500amps..its the same as a ride on starter solenoid. I run isolators on my winches- rated to 300 odd continuous, but2500/ 3000amps intermintanly

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)

I had thought about that bar aswell, I haven't really required it on mine yet.....ps should be sweet with clearance, looks like plenty there. The bpillar bar on mine was real tight, aprox 5-10mm in places and well let's just say the there's some nice curved clearencing been done.... about 15mm would...

Enjoying the in-depth updates you do. Good reading

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

Brought it out of the shed once since my last post, got a wof and back in the shed.... But have roughed up a sway bar haven't driven with it but grabbing the cage and rocking it makes a huge difference.

Well haven't had it out anywhere as much I would have liked, time and money have slowed me up quite a lot...haha but using it as a tractor around the house to try pull out stumps and roots etc, managed to bend my tow bar... (spouse I did have winch doubled back attached to a tree infront....) so use...

My trusty surf is up for grabs, it's on trademe at 14 but make a sensible offer and we shall see...

Selling because I've brought a land cruiser to tow with.

Righto chaps, may have a plan to fit a pto onto my surf, but looking for a landcruiser pto and the auto to surf transfer case adapter to see weather my plan is feasible Prefer around the Waikato as big bulky items to ship but not essential.

what setup did you use in ya trans..? as I got the same one and have been playing around with it through the lexus box but now have the prado box and looking at it again..to make it a nicer shift.. you need a bigger paddock too so you can let the horses out .. :wink: :mrgreen: It's can look up the ...

Barstards have been plowed and planted now tho

Redwinches make some aftermarket bits for them, get in contact with Phil @ force4

Turns out its been a while for a update... got front locker fitted. Went out for a trip to ngaroma and the hydraulic fan lunched itself.. Manga fed to track down replacement parts and fitted them.

Have finally fitted the gauges,and had to program egt to celcuis. Haven't gone for a good drive yet tho

This will give me my baseline standard settings,mainly just for my curiosity and see how each Mod changes the egt

skidmark

Looking on the website, that gauge measures your air/fuel ratio not your exhaust temps.......can this be done on a diesel? I often hear exhaust temps are a good indicator for a diesel. EDIT: I see you have 2 gauges and I got confused over the dual gauge functions of the first one - ignore me :oops:...

skidmark

Make sure contacts have gone in flat.. quite often I found they are bent past 90° and don't sit flat. I flip them over on the vice and give then a tap down on the bend before install. Then hold the inside bolt head with a spanner while doing up the outside ( rebuilt hundreds...all I did for first ye...

skidmark

Now that you say that I do remember reading that in a search....will be interesting to get a baseline of non-intercooled before I start.well I think so.
Will end up doing one thing at a time,probably starting with exhaust

how does the 185 get on towing something (surf and trailer) heavier than itself? crawling up hills or not too bad? does the weight push it around on corners? sorry no help with your questions.
