They suck a bit if using "D" cell but use a lead and run it off your Aux battery.

They suck a bit if using "D" cell but use a lead and run it off your Aux battery. Nah they have the inbuilt D battery now which lasts 9 hours apparently? You can't run run them whilst on charge though.

Brought this not my first, have one in the lower centre console for my phone, I'll either put this in the rear next to that pull out panel in the back with some additional carling switches for rear work and maybe awning light

Well, not exactly today, a couple of days ago, I finally bought Provent 200 catch can with hoses, clamps etc, but I'm yet to get a bracket of some sort as there is no particular place I can just bolt that thing on in the engine bay (GU9 2013 built).
I've checked around this forum and others, and have seen some examples of how people install it, but further comments / suggestion welcome (perhaps via pm so as not to deviate from the main theme of this thread).

No idea to be honest, prob just the price tag... I remember seeing them for a show special over $400, whereas you can buy a winch with "dyneema rope" for near that figure these days

Dyneema is the brand name, there is a better "plasma style" rope available buts its name has slipped me.
What Diam. rope will you be running on the High Mount 12mm or bigger.
Do you know how mant mtrs you can fit on the HM??

[Gertie]

Just bought drivetech 4x4 steering damper and enduro pro big bore shocks form ebay, hope they're ok. has anyone had them before? hope to fit them next week :)
Been a big couple of weeks though, took off the LPG system, fitted long range fuel tank, bought new plugs, leads, dizzy, and rotor button, fitted them all then radiator went last week so new radiator from asi performance & new hose and belt kit, fitted them on weekend. Time to save up for next lot of mods...Love it!

Yeah though it might have been as such.

It's 10mm rope thought about 12mm but apparently 10s all good and 40 m should fit in a standard high mount. Just asked an Anthony at roadrunner what he recommended. Looks the same size as the old stuff i took off the tigerz, but assume better quality. . . Although it did do pretty well actually . .

Scored a brand new 100ah deep cycle for free...Yay!!!

My one was cactus after too many lazy travel buddy cook ups at night.

[threedogs]

Gotta be happy with 40 mtrs ,are you fitting that
sleeve to protect the rope from heat build up on the drum

[Rossco]

Don't need to with a high mount as brake and motor heat don't affect the drum and also don't build up heat too badly as compared to a lowie. Reversing out under load on a low mount can get hot pretty quick. . .

Bull plop 3 dogs! They have got soft shackles on that website with a break load of 14 tonne!!

Bahahahahaha!!!! I used to say that when I was in primary school.


Just orderd new intercooler

I'm hoping to take delivery of my Cross Country big banger early next week. Then I'll mount the fecker and then take some brave pills and cut the bonnet to fit the new scoop.

HD lower arms
Adjustable uppers
Front and rear panhards
Tie rod
Drag link
Brake bias bracket
2" spacers for the poly air bags
Windscreen washer check valve

ON the upper arms mate did you get one bent one? Just incase down the track you decide to get a long range aux tank you will need one... Pkus you'll need to do something about the radius arms too for the 3inch lift... Either drop boxes or those offset bushes.

No I just got the straight ones, at the moment a long range tank is not part of the plans (he says that now..). I'm hoping the economy I pick up from the engine work and a proper tune will help me out. Currently the front is sitting at 2" and the rear a bit higher, but I will be going 3" after I get the engine sorted. I need some bushes now due to clunking and banging so may as well get the arms and spread the cost out a bit so the missus doesn't get as upset. Eventually I'll probably be going hybrid arms and drop boxes on the front.

Brave pills required and lock the beer fridge up until after the job in this case.

On the link I saw they were only low breaking point. have a read so double bull plop lol
I'm sure they have bigger ones available just not on the link I saw.
It should be mandatory to use them instead of steel shackles

[BigRAWesty]

Many different sizes as they are huge in the sailing world.
Our problem is why would you pay $30-$50 each when a rated metal shackle is below $20..
The only advantage the soft shackle has is the safety.

I don't think you can put a price on safety, I will certainly be buying some.
Not a big deal on the weight debate. Has anyone got a picture of any in action.
All newbies and oldies should change their thinking and use these "soft shackles"
just imagine how many "accidents" could be avoided.
Nice pick up on the battery too Kallen 120AH oodles of power there my friend

[BigRAWesty]

Couldn't agree more mate but as you well know people these days look at the $$$ first and the quality.
I was going to do them. But I just don't think they would move. A few a year maybe.
I think the price I worked was $25 each for 16000 pound.
I doubt they'd move.

Well, i have no muffler. So i reckon its going to be noisy. Last thing i want is a loud drone in the cab whilst driving to QLD. But, the section where there was a muffler, is now welded up. The muffler that was there was held in via slip flanges. So i need to cut that section out. To even just remove the exhaust.

Each LED panel is the same. But they come with 3 different globe adapters ( don't know what each type is called) so you just plug the LED panel into the type you need and install into car.

So on the photo for the front map lights I used the adapter all the way on the left. And the other 2 interior lights I used the one on the top...
Easy. For about $5 delivered. They are fantastic!!

Today I bought new kingpin spacers for the front end as well as a new drive-shaft for the passenger side (driver's side for you Aussies). One of the previous owners apparently removed the kingpin spacers for some weird reason and he also never checked his front driveshaft bearings. it was completely dry - no grease in it whatsoever so it was partially seized up and destroyed from lack of lubrication.

One of many things I'm now finding out about the vehicle. No big deal. At least I know what I have now and that things are done right.

i think you will find that there are some people who remove those spacers to stop the front wheel wobble which is common but dont check the preload on the bearings and what it does is put too much pressure on the bearing and it shits itself like your have. good luck with it mate sounds like you will get it sorted.

I remember reading about doing that, but that just serves as a quick fix and doesn't address the root problem. From my understanding, the real solution was to replace the kingpin bearings? I'll have to try to dig up that thread or find where I read that. Is there something else I should do to prevent the death wobble?
