Tried to enter last year, we didn't receive a reply. I'm keen to get there sooner or later but it's the South Island winch challenge series has started & a lot of people will be doing that.

I've been running a rear mounted radiator for years on a patrol, have just used original engine driven pump. Never had any problems. I'd ditch the electric pump, more hassle that you don't need.

I'm the opposite mate, my Treps are 37's and I use them mostly on the West Coast. Them and twin locked gets me a lot of places. I did a trip late last year in which my lockers were playing up due to the compressor having a cardiac arrest and I drove through mud etc on thge treps and open diffs where...

mudtroll

Club did a farm trip late last year, majority on 35" silverstones one on 37 Treps. V8 so plenty of power but no traction on a typical wet,muddy farm, huge difference. Wouldn't buy treps for NZ conditions.

Pmed you

Brake is the complicating issue with a god winch, don't think they bother with them in Malaysia.

mudtroll

I did something similar to my triple blocks, took out every 2nd block on all 3 rows & sharpened up the side biters. Still going 4 years later but 2 have bad air leaks. Only use them for woodhill & maratoto now, running silverstones for farms & comps etc.

Y61 slightly wider, 50mm, bigger cv's, twin pot calipers.
Not LSD tho.

I'd put that in the cheap chinese crap basket. Looks like the same stuff sold by Mudstuck. From experience I wouldn't bother.

mudtroll

Don't waste your money on cheap chinese rope, it's crap & won't last. First time you use it good, 2nd time maybe good after that no good. If your only doing the occasional winch stick to wire, last a lot longer than cheap rope just have to take the proper safety precautions. Otherwise spend the ...

mudtroll

I'd be keen to help.

mudtroll

Changed mine to a screw on arrangement running 80 series bushes with drop boxes, not road legal. Did it to eliminate stupid rod to chassis bushes that keep failing & to correct castor angle.

mudtroll

Whats wrong with yours? Theirs not a lot in them to go wrong.

mudtroll

No, you'd have to remove it.

mudtroll

I've got some lying around, coarse or fine spline?

mudtroll

Depends what your doing with it, patrol diffs are way stronger than 80's, seen plenty of 80's fail.

mudtroll

Can't really give advise on electric winches as I run PTO but IF you ever need help after purchasing a Novawin Phil Clarke is excellent to deal with, unlike another person who sells a different brand of winches in NZ.

mudtroll

Maxxis Buckshot are worth a look, reasonably priced. I put them on a LWB patrol, drove to chch from auckland for a trip up the rivers in the Canterbury high country, went well. Decent road manners, didn't really get in too much mud. Don't know about longevity as I sold the truck.

mudtroll

I've got one in Auckland.

mudtroll

9 out 10 times this problem will be caused by panhard bushes, even if they look & feel ok I've changed them & it fixed the problem. Pull your panhard off get some genuine Nissan bushes pressed in & it should sort it out.

mudtroll

Somebodies plumbed the tappet cover valve into the chassis rail so your getting all the blow by hazing out of the chassis

mudtroll

They were aiming it more at the tradie with a 4x4 ute, came to our club meeting last week to explain. I agree $80 for driving around in a flat, muddy paddock is expensive & doesn't interest me, but I think they have quite a few going. Biggest concern will be the safety aspect, hopefully they'll ...

mudtroll

Hampidjan in timaru for factory made overbraid Dynex Dux its super expensive shit but you get about 10 times the life out of it compared to other brands :wink: Dynex Dux is very good rope. I'm not convinced about the benefit of overbraid though. I used it on one of my ropes, good : rope stays the s...

mudtroll

It would be a lot easier, cheaper & better to change the starter motor & glow plugs.

mudtroll

Your better off running 8' rims, you'll continuously knock the tyres off the bead offroad with 10" rims.

mudtroll

How does the winch brake work on the PTO? Or is it a worm drive?

mudtroll

I'll have a talk with you at Possum Tim

mudtroll

I'm looking at doing the same soon. Thinking rear the best option, slightly better protectored, existing mounting arms, front would need a mod on drivers side & panhard in the way. Cons hard to get the diff head out unless everything is un-boltable & I bend the rear tie rod more than the fro...

mudtroll

Andy 79465? Think he has sold it though.

mudtroll

Give Phil a call http://www.force4.co.nz/. Might pay to wait a couple of days, think he's in Aussie
