    Next got started on the winch. I pulled it to bits on the bench in the shed to give it a good clean out.

    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.







    Attached my home made Nylon Fairlead and Bob's your Aunty.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
