You can tell by turning the flanges in low range , but the difference is slight between the cases. Essayist way to find a 410 case with light is the look for the smaller square sided flanges for the drive shafts . Best way is to open the case and count the gears . IMHO to make a rock lobster is not ...

As per tittle , I'm looking for a 235/85R16 as a spare tyre for the Defender .
Mud tyre preferred , but anything considered .
Upper north Island would be best

I've used both Hippo liner and raptor liner. the Raptor liner wins hands down . Professional product . it goes on easier , touch hardens quickly and retains flexibility to stop cracking . you can also get it in white and add paint to color code to your choice . I found the hippo liner took a long ti...

UBZ

is it a SJ413 or Samurai transfer case we are talking about?

if so just fit a factory SJ drum hand-break to the transfer and be done with it .

UBZ

looking real good Scot !

I think I have a spare wheel carrier for you , and yell out when you want to copy the front bumper / soft top stuff.

Who did the windscreen glass for you ?

UBZ

got to be happy with that ! going through your list , how many sets of jumper leads do you have on board . ideally you would want to be able to hook up 3 battery's for bush welding , ie 36volts . prob have to beg borow the 3rd whille on tour. Are the front door monsoons from LRS ? they look real goo...

Cheers Guys

phase 2 of the Bullbar mounts .

UBZ

That looks great, nice and simple but still offers heaps of protection. yeah its all about trying to keep the weight down as much as possible, give good protection , while still looking ok Weld bends make fabbing this sort of stuff quite easy . Better pic of it blazed and primed up. http://i274.pho...

So have last minute decided to take the LJ down to Zuki Central .

Anyone else attending ?

If its a BOC bottle , the guy you got the welder from, should logically still be paying bottle rental to BOC ..... Id ask him if this is the case . My experience with BOC is that they normally pursue their bottles as stolen, if an account is closed . Current BOC bottles normally have a printed Bar-c...

Great Info , cheers guys I found Tu's pics from the Toymotor Heres the pics from my old beater hilux. It originally had a pulley to go from the rear x member to the winch but it kept jumping off so slapped a snatch block in there instead. Distance from the pulley to the winch was always a little sho...

Most importantly the rope needs to be exposed so you can see what is going on. And deal with the rope when it cuts in. Last one I make the fairlead mount removable . Allowing the winch to be taken out of the bar , with out removing the bar from the truck. One of the bolts each side of the fairlead m...

5-600$ in Primer , Paint , Thinners , Sandpaper ,Masking Tape , Filler , Plastic. etc

Assuming you have the compressor , Gun ,some where to do it that can be fully sheeted out with plastic(it goes everywhere) and a alot of time to strip and sand it and sand it and sand it.

UBZ

Can anyone give me some details or pictures of their setup? Particularly 1. Distances from the winch drum to first pulley and how well the winch spools up on its own . ( I have been told 700-800mm is Recommended) 2. Removable rear pulley / fairlead setups. 3. One Pulley or two in the system? 4. Angl...

UBZ

For some reason I thought you ran it in the chassis rail , but couldn't find the pics when I went looking .

Did you use a 2nd pulley block down by the chassis or just run direct from the rear pulley into the guide hoops?

Any one had any experience running a Foers Winch setup like this ?
