Mines very water friendly. It never sees it. Apart from rain water. Lol.

The light bulb came on re: the solenoid and I think the problem was, I was looking at Ben's pic wanting to wire it up to my handheld controller, not a separate switch as in that pic... I think.. Anyway sorted now.

The patrols in getting some goodies fitted and I got them to wire it up. Saves me blowing up a perfectly good solenoid or anything else for that matter.

Ok.

Looks like my hand held was the problem all along.

Now that I now that my controller is no good and don't like the chances of finding one I need to run a in cab switch. I also want to have a push button near the winch on the bullbar to spool in/out while not in the car. If i'm going to do this, it might as well be pobably. Will move the solenoid to the engine bay.

I think I have gotten my head around Bens pic, That said I still have a few questions.

This the switch I'm going to use inside

Dosen't it need to match the winch?

I had a quick look the other day and didn't find one for a T max, besides the solenoid still needs to be wired up.

Your using a different solenoid so why would controller matter ?

Jay see think of it this way the switch you want to put in the cab is the same switch on the controller

Winch switch is worked out. Helps when you have a switch that works.:smiley_thumbs_up:
Now for another question. I going to run an isolator switch as well do I need to run either one through a relay?

Should have removed the rear seat belts John. How did you go fitting them. The rhs wing I had to modify to make it fit and now the lid is about 15mm too long. No biggie though....
23rd January 2017, 04:04 PM

Just undo the bottom bolts on the seat belts and poke them through the top slot/hole.
What holds the battery box in place??

Yeah I know, but there not really in the way.
Fitting was pretty straight forward.
Both of the wings top didn't line up, took off the two slot fittings and the screw down now lines up perfectly.

If I got them before Xmas I wouldn't have had the time to get them in. We left on Boxing Day morning for 2 weeks. Once I was back, I got back onto them. Still took them 10 before I could pick them up.

While I was there, some bloke wanted to pick up a set for his fj cruiser.
Sorry we don't have any in stock and there is no deliveries till March, must be cause of Chinese New Year he was told.
Like how there is no mention of that on there emails.

might have missed it are you just using dash switches now or one of those remote hand sets.??
Was it Kallen who moved his battery box into the drawers??
24th January 2017, 04:03 PM

Dash switches. Have just ordered an isolator switch and a few others.
Don't think it was Kallen. Might have seen it in the Chev thread.

With the excitement of buying goodies for the troll. I stuffed up.
I ordered a 195mm gas strut for the small rear barn door.
This is too small correct?
The next size is 320mm or there abouts.
Before I send it back, is there anywhere else that the 195 could be used?

Would you like me to measure my small door gas strut for you ??
30th January 2017, 04:32 PM

Yeah 300mm or there abouts is what you want John. Only light too about 100nm. Or however its measured.

10nm is approx 10kg and so on with a 50nm being approx 50kg

Cheers John & Mark.

I did order the 100nm just not in the right length.

Draws firmly secured.
Ready for drop slide and fridge tomorrow

You make a strap for the middle too John?
Speaking of drop slides. I spotted a better version of ours from clearview mirrors.
I reckon i might flog mine off eventually and get one of theirs.

Pretty sure unleashed (or whateva pat callans mag is called) did a review comparison of the msa and clearview drop down slides last year.

From memory they're pretty similar, think the clearview has a few other new features and weighs a fair bit less as well - but it does cost a few hundred $$$ more

You might find the centre of the drawers will pull up when the drop slide is loaded and pulled out.

The MSA slide handle lifts up and over the fridge when you lower it. The Clearview fridge goes down. Not a big deal for most but for a shorty like me, and if your parked on a bit of a hill, it can be a task. Also I have found the handle hits the top section of the small barn door too when lowering. So I need to force the door open that little bit more for it to clear.

I'm going to put it all in today and then see how it holds up. If a center point is needed will do it then.

I think you might be taller than me lol.
I reakon i can live with the MSA considering the the whole set up (draws, dropslide, cage and fridge) cost me $1600.

Depends on what it is I suppose. I try to have a common earth point in different sections of the car. Only for trouble shooting if need be really.
