Lol. I assume your talking aout the Himount winch. The first group of Himount winch pics would be in the first 10 pages I reckon depending on how many posts per page your set at. When I started the thread I was basically finished the car so rolled them all out quickly. The winch was done up first then.

I am currently rebuilding the winch again and have it out of the car and completely stripped down. Let me know what you want pics of and I will take a couple for you. The cases have just been painted and I have not reassembled it yet.

I used this link for a great writeup and how to ==> http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/8274/

Then i went about renovating what needed to be done. I Painted the casing using a Charcoal Hammertone paint out of a can

I tapped the casing to run Air lines to pressurise the case for Bog holes etc. You can see also that i used some of that PVC liquid tape on the terminals thinking that i could trim up the mess when dry => NO YOU CANT!!! so after this pic i went and got a very fine brush and neatened it up allot.

I reckon it looks great.

Mounted it back up into the newly painted bar and fitted the air lines

See on the back of the numberplate i have fitted a white LED marker light that is switched with the winch isolation switch in the dash and lights up the winch whenever power is connected to it. F*#king awesome at night for winching.

Hahaha. Yeah had a feeling you might have been. My turbo is a low mount and is a full MTQ system. I had it fitted by a shop though way back when. If your chasing pics and info on a Hi Mount Turbo setup your best to ask Bloody Aussie as he has just fitted one to his new TD.

Yea...
Sure......

Ay I was thinking the other day about your gearing issues with the gu and 35's.
Why not swap out the gq centres until the q is ready, or you buy replacements??
Or will 4.6 be to high??

Bump for tappa talk

Thank FARK for tappa!!! Been slack on this thread as I have struggled with pics until now.

Been a busy year, car has been parked up and have been sorting out my 24v for my winch. It's nearlly ready to go but while it's been parked I have also stripped out a heap of junk wiring. I have also made space for a 4" snorkel through the bonnet and big airbox in the future..

Some wiring mods.

This is a future plan

The HiMount is finished and ready to bolt up. 24v ready with +76 Deltatek Freespool and Gigglepin Brake a Shaft. Allbright solenoid. Sexy as Fark!!!

Gone for a Custom made Big Mouth SS fairlead, you can now buy these on eBay, mine is the one in the pic as it was the first one he made in the bigger size. The big mouth will allow a Brocken plasma to have a knot tied in it and still got through the opening
