found this while looking for some Dyneema
Bit late now it's painted but a good optionQuote:

what a great job mate. looks as good as new. I bet it will work as good as well. Thanks for sharing. Great post
When's it getting fitted Winnie?
Probably won't be for a few weeks, still got a bit more to do
That is the kit that i used on mine and ABs winches, works great.Quote:

Supposedly 40m of 10mm, but that's too much. I have 40m on mine but am going to cut off 10m and have a go at spicing the off cut to make a 10m extension.
Yeah I bought the same rope as you, I'll have a look at it when it's on but looking at yours I think I will do the same.Quote:

So more is not neccessarily better, especially if it all bunches up on one side.
Im going to fit a camera that sees how its spooling just to be different.
So 12mm @ 30 mtrs not required as in not much difference in BS.
Was just reading somewhere that some Dyneema is 8 stands {china and the
12 strand is Aussie. I paid $440 for my rope Dyneema 12 strand .
might be worth checking
Well it's ready to go on the car and be wired up now. With any luck I'll be able to use my mates plasma cutter this weekend to cut out the top of the bullbar

gotta be very happy with the out come Buddy,, hats off to you,
or should that be 2 thumbs up lol
Triple check all nuts and connections as I'm sure once
its in it wont be coming out any time soon
Damn... I started taking my hat off but had to put it back on to give two thumbs up!
Are they going to make you lead car now Winnie? or does AB want you to follow him incase his oven starts getting wet!?
tappin from tassie
Nah Rossco can still be lead car =]
Because I know that if he has trouble I've got no hope! hahaha
one point do you have boots to cover those exposed terminals,
or are you going to spray battery terminal onto them,
or leave them to the elements

Yep I've got boots for them
Looking a bit silly =)

Should put a snazzy chrome grill on ☺. Winch looks awsome by the way. . .
Not this time but I reckon I will at some stage in the future... they do look good.Quote:

Might be a good time to make a plate with nuts welded
on it so in the future if needed you can fit "2" recovery points
Just a thought, just tack in place
Already there mate, not welded in though but they are there. Just gotta hold them in place while bolting onQuote:

Switch the small earth through the isolation switch and run that earth through the little LED light so it is on when there is power to the winch?
