Attachment 28874

Yeah she's knackered!

Some more update.

So last weekend I fitted up the new winch motor to the top half or the winch that I had removed a month ago. Fitted a breather to the new end cap and pretty happy with the quality of the new motor.

So I decided not to be a slack arose and pulled the grill off to then remove the bottom half of the winch to put a new kit through it again and freshen it right up.

Found some more mud behind the front corner indicators! Never ending!

Not a bad notch out of the grill for the himount!

Attachment 28887Attachment 28888

So when I removed the lower housing of the himount from the bar I found a little problem!

Rear lower bracing on the bottom of the main casing

"Mudrunner" really is a fitting name isnt it (lol)


So whats the plan mate, is that something you can get welded ? looks like cast alloy perhaps ?

You can patch it with the rapid fix stuff mate, it set pretty hard!

Yeah Rapid Fix is pretty good but not this good. The point load would be Massive.

I have taken it to Brett at 4Wd Obsession yesterday and he will see about getting it revelled and back braced for me.

Should be back together in a couple of weeks

With the amount of mud everywhere else it would be interesting to see how much mud has built up in your bellhousing

I wonder how much all the mud weighs ???

Mate all this work for a little splash in a puddy muddle..... ??
