Been yarning to a few people about sheer pins etc and at the moment running a roll pin in a 4.5 mill hole but I'm paranoid that its going to break when I'm balls deep in a mud whole and can't climb under the veichal, I've hurd six mil bolts do the trick but is the winch rope going to be the week ...

so how come the new common rail like the tritons have a hua of a knock when under acceleration

had my 12ht under heap of load for a long time today at the beach and noticed that now wat seams to be under higher boost there is a metallic sound coming from the turbo, dosnt seam to be lacking power, just little worried about it,

found these ones on the net the other day, look nice and simple to make http://forum.ih8mud.com/sale-parts/4363 ... ckles.html
looks like if ya messure your spring with and then bit of dicking around adjust the angled bit to set up the distance between shakle eyes and ya got ya self some sissor shackels

any one had much to do with the extenable fold out style of shackles and were best to get them from,

Thinking of replacing the oil In the gear box of the pto winch. Not to sure if been over thinking it but wOuld I Use a hyoid oil in case there is brass in there or just A synthetic gear oil or just thuban 85-140 or 80-90 cause it's nice and thick.

I'm down in invercargill. But how much are you looking at for them
