more to the point, seeing as the winch will bolt strait to the bar i gave you...is it bolted on yet???

[vvega]

haha need to make the bar fit first .. i forgot to take it out the honda last night so it will be home in about 15 mins

[coxsy]

well does it fit ????:D

[darinz]

So if the winch is on, then we'll see you next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waynes going up to the racing... and you are coming down?
DAMN IT! i'll be in wellington

[vvega]

lol long way off yet bro ... lol
got the basis for were we want the winch today
just needs millons of gussets and some decent chassis tags to bolt too
.. this weeks misson is to get the tags on the body and to also get the front bar all bent up and on as well
will post pics of the final structure rather than the mock up

just comtemplating the bar work ATM :d

So we'll just have to have a quite refreshment on your behalf! Besides which what sort of mate abandonds his mates when they go racing!!!

[vvega]

if i make it up danz yourd better have a beer for me :d
OH BTW there a 110 lpm varible displacement pump on trademe ATM for 600 ... normally 6000 bucks :d
would need a pto for it though

Is your motor powerful enough to drive that pump wayne?


Man i was so stoaked with my little drive today.


I'm pretty sure you did that to make me feel shit/slow/diesel more than anything

looks good mate

You are going to hate my guts for saying it, but I believe the bar will affect your approach angle and stop the truck on every little bank.
Is there no way you can move the winch back or up to improve things. A 60-70 degree approach angle is one of the most important things to make a truck capable.

Sorry to be negative

Cheers Richard

[J_Dub]

judging by that last pic, the approach angle doesnt look like it would be too bad....

For grade 1 trips it would be good

[vvega]

honesty is good

and unfortunatly thereis no way to move it back ... as it is its hard up against the bonnet support bracket
originally i was going to mount it in the back ... but im not ready to spend 400 + on plasma right now so i can run it forward

if you take the front leaf hanger and put a bar from the bottom of the tyre .. it just hits the winchbar .....perhaps i need to move my axle forward

the hoops only there so i can see the front of the bar

that p/s rad ... is basically the thickness of clearnce from the fan to the winch

i COULD move my rad back further i have about 4" from that to the engine......another reason why i have a 3" lift ...to push the endine back over the axel

oh and the winch is already about 6 " above the top of the chassis rails .. if you look at the side on pic you can see the chassis rails... im reluctant to go higher as as it is the stress's it will not be happy... even with all the bracing back down the rails it has

cheers richard
suggestions are welcome

Thats the one I have moved mine forward and works great, without coils it is no worse than most trucks

Your right there richard , when I threw a stinger on the front of my old crawler it stoped me going up hills ,banks that I got up before without the stinger , but it looks farken cool

Hi Wayne

I dont know your truck setup but looking at the truck and reading your reply ,my 1st choice would be the mid mount. This has 2 advantages.
1 good approach angle
2 Hiluxs are too heavy at the front and it would improve the performance by transferring weight over the rear wheels.

Reading your reply you could greatly improve the approach angle by moving the radiator back 3 inches. You would gain more there than moving the axle forward 1 inch .

The advantage of moving the axle forward though is you can fit bigger tyres without rubbing on the guards.

Dont be hasty and have a look at others setups first.

Cheers Richard
