Round 1 - ENGEL Winch Challenge Australia

We've posted up pictures and footage of Round 1- Engel Winch Challenge Series.
Take a look at http://www.flaminfabrications.com.au
Would have to be the best Winch Challenge to date. Lots of mud and winching on 9 out of the 12 stages. Minimum of 3 winches were done in each stage.

Re: Believe it or Not! Slow Mount goes fast !!!!

hmm sounds interesting. Can you supply more info? The guys are just fine tuning a few more things after the last comp. They made it go faster and to carry more rope. I don't know what they have done to the internals and I don't want to know. It's their thing and I can see this becoming a big thing ...

Re: lets go to OZ

I had the pleasure of driving the trucks for at least 6 hours non stop on opening night. These things are "awesome", they handle so well and it's not as easy as it seems. I've got some video footage and chassis build up on my website. w The owner has a soft spot for the 40's series cruisers. That's ...

I make the eyelets thicker for strength. No need to add straps etc, if you make them correctly. Ok, so I take it you've machined them done from thicker sectioned material? Am interested in a price on a pair of sliders for SWB with 1" body lift if possible? Cheers Mitch Yes, it is from thicker ...

Actually, these are a little bit better than the ones I made for Hoon. Hoon has the standard bush eyelets. I'll be putting on Amsteel Blue rope one day soon. Yes it is wire for now. Wazza Is this because of the way the eyelets tear out? I've seen Sandy B put a bodgy looking strap from the arm ...

Yes I did make Hoon's trailing arms, also, yes they are a larger section material and I'm making the eyes larger than standard aswell, but still fit original nissan bushes. Geez, not likely to bend or break in any hurry then...you reckon they're "Hoon-proof"? Are you going to put some fancy ...

Warren, Did you do the rear trailing arms on Hoon's truck? Looking at it at OBC 2006, they look pretty similar? Mine are 50x25 RHS which are plenty strong enough, but those ones of yours and Hoons seem to be bigger section again? Cheers Mitch ps - whats the word on Benny Russells rig after Alpine ...
