Re: Hilux Surf to Single cab mounts
It has a 350 chev in it at the moment and fits very well in the surf body. I haven't done any measurements but I'm hoping the LN150 engine bay confinements are similar

Re: 3y with 3" exhaust??
yes it is called a carson top and is legal to remove, youll notice that the rear belts are all lap belts etc.
However im not saying the cops arent going to pull you over and check over your truck with a fine tooth comb.
i drive around alot with mine off but i dont normally have people in the back.

Winch only runs one way
Winch was only running one way and wouldn't wind in the cable. Only powers outwards, so I've whipped the motor off and hooked it up to the solenoid block on the bench to make sure it wasn't the gearbox binding or anything stupid. Is it more likely to be the motor or solenoid
