Playing silly buggers testing out the winch and recovery points, and learning how to do it safely. And pulling a pet landie around.

I'll be getting my cables custom made. Essentially just shortening them and adding a clevis end.

Sheepy

Yep PG's formans name is greg. Owner is Phil. Not the cheapest but fair, and definitely the best.

Sheepy

I just loosened the linkages and re tightened after. You'll have more trouble with the steering shaft and fuel filler.

Sheepy

Seen one at Supercheap, didnt get it, and havent seen one since.

Sheepy

I'd probably run a 10w50 or even a 10w60.

I'm getting mine from Toms Offroad for my surf. Same calipers. Ill be ordering them in 3-4 weeks, I am just waiting on calipers to arrive.

Sheepy

Any update on the chip?

Sheepy

It's still there, do we need more mods?

Sheepy

The Air Con Fan can be rewired to a switch, which is what i did. I am going subaru water to air top mount.

Sheepy

Cheers for the tip, I have left it as rust converter, so its pretty rough, I was tempted to POR15, it, but I'll leave it, and see how it looks in a couple of months.

Toyota Surf. What would you recommend?

Nah actual rust flakes stuck to the rope, on the first 2 meters or so that directly touches the drum.

Sheepy

from what I can see yo are talking about a steel rope, so putting it in a washing machine would be not a grand idea if you want to stay onside with the missus.. :lol: If it is a steel wire rope then clean it off and then re oil it.. it will be ok.. BUT if you are talking about synthetic rope.. just...

Hey all I recently played in the salt water and thought I had best have a look under the old girl for rust, and unsurprisingly, there wqas some liught surfacerust on the diff, and suspension components and other things that had paint chips etc. So I water blasted everything, and sprayed CRC Proseal...

Sheepy

Its synthetic rope. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will get new rope in a few months, in the meantime I will use the current rope and learn how to use my winch at every opportunity, I don't put myself in situations where I am the only truck, so a winch isn't essential. My main concern is ...

Sheepy

Well put the rope through the wash, no real difference. I cleaned the drum with a wire wheel, and used Rust kill on it, and had to drill out the grub screw and retap it too m6x1. Ill get a new grub on monday, I guess the rope will be fine for now, but the rusty bits are still embedded into the rope,...

Sheepy

Awesome advice. Thanks I will clean it tomorrow. I need to look into how the rope is attached to the drum.

Sheepy

Evening All I recently purchased a second hand winch, and upon inspection the drum has a bit of surface rust, not a problem, I will just run the rope out and rust kill/POR15 it. Well, as I ran the rope out the last turn was stuck to the drum, the rust is pretty flaky and the rope was literally stuck...

Sheepy

Thanks Mate

I'll flick you a pm tonight, I'm just setting up our truck and don't want to buy/pack unnecessary items.

Has anyone done the Northland Kauri Coast 4WD Safari? We've entered and are looking forward to it, but i'd be keen to hear from any one who's done it, and what the thought, and what the facilities are like? We're pretty new to camping so don't have all the gucci gear but I think we have most of what...

Sheepy

are you making an adapter? if so ill be keen on buying one.

The forum? It's fine for me...

Damn that's cool. WTB pipe bender and an ounce of skill.

Cool to see a 185 getting the treatment.

Sheepy

Hey All So after braking 2 rear links I think its time to make some disconnects, rather than taking the bar out (It's out right now and its got a lot of roll) So I found a design I like that is no longer being made, but I have some questions that some of you guys might be able to shed some light upo...

Sheepy
