Bloody awesome work guys.
Yeah I have thought about something like this simple bolt on off for when needed, plus removable dildo is in the cards I think. . Having a 50mm reviver hitch in the bar is a bonus and perfect for it[emoji106][emoji106]Quote:

Ever since destroying an alternator going through a flooded swamp, I thought a sealed one would be the ducks nuts. But there is bugger all room to fit one on the RB. I would have to fit it where the now defunct aircon pump used to be.Quote:

Can anyone assist me in where to find which dildo contraption, I searched that in Ebay and didn't quite get the result I desired [emoji38] . .Quote:

I just google searched "solid polyurethane rod" and if you can make up the end fittings easy enough you could save a fair bit of money!

How many do you want?

Big price for playing in the mud!
We might be after a few if we can get them for the right price. Really showed their value when we had to jump in the mud to retrieve Rossco's hook from underneathQuote:

Sealed alternator review. Being high amperage, it could run a fully sealed electric A/C pump too.

It’s still for V8 Landcrabs the same as the water cooled ones and 4 bolt block mounted unfortunately too.
Just interesting to see the three air hoses and plumbing through the airbox on the side.

Wow that's different [emoji15]
Also MB please do change your winch hooks for next run to standard clip on style, not the lever lock reverse swing, will promise to get you out of the shit quicker!

The plastic is cheap and the end fittings are just some steal tube and bar. A unit could be made for $50-$100.Quote:

Yeah it is not just a plastic and a straight PU. It has a flexibility cross between a rubber and a plastic. I asked the guy i got the DazWing Perspex from, he sold a PU rod the right size but was very rigid. No good. There is a market for the right kit for sure. Mine is 65 or 70mm, the one listed above is 50mm.Quote:

Pretty sure we’ve bought the exact PU blend for a spring replacement on some indoor playground products before. It was horribly expensive stuff and IIRC something like $100plm for only 25mm diameter rod.

I’ll ask our designer today which PU blend was sourced as it was critical for us also to have instant memory return and zero splitting where the fixing bolts are drilled through.
I just purchased the 4WD Shed 50mm one complete for the 12v Iskra/Mahle High Mount upgrade but will be upgrading it to the next diameter larger size if I ever copy Darren and run 24v through it faster. A wee bit too flexible as it is on the faster 12v winch but would be fine on a low mount winch as only one last winch click currently folds it to half way too easily [emoji51]

Just stopped into Profile Plastics quickly to pick up some acrylic colour samples for a job.
Got a quick quote on the Donkey PU [emoji51]
60mm diameter (90 hardness) = $435 plm Holy Crap Anoly [emoji23]

Yeah crazy expensive. I have looked into it when I was buying. I scored mine 2nd hand from a bloke in Yarraglen for $150. AB went and grabbed it for me. I jumped on it when I saw it for sale on Facebook... way back before it was Trendy :pQuote:

As usual, I copied Daz by replacing the original bolt and nut with a quick highway removal bolt and pin system to keep Mr Plod from horning up on us enroot [emoji23]

"Trendy" was taking the piss. But you need one Phil. You know it mate.
Philstar I reckon was just taking the piss Daz Mates [emoji23]
Two newfound great benefits I found with the Donkeys thanks again Darren are that our Navi’s can hook up on the fly and forward reset trunk protection ahead whilst the driver can see the final track/rope clearance is completed.
Light Sunday Solo missions I’m looking forward to also being able to get rope away safely alone [emoji106][emoji106]

Yes it was a piss take, right onto it. They are a handy part of the 'system'. No, I dont want or need one either as my hydraulic winch is not a sprinter like your High Mounts.
