Nice winch mate, I've got the same one sitting in the front of my wagon.

Very nice, they do a great winch LOL
Should do a group buy on the rope terminal fitting,
I know Snake Racing do them but that looks better some how.

this may be helpfull but others would know more about it

As Jimmy cliff would say, many wires to cross lol .

Just began this adventure and finding a suitable spot to send connectors through the firewall isn't easy. Usually the big grommet under brake booster for smaller wires but this will test me.
Also making sure the boost tube isn't pinched .

Afternoon spent wiring the gauge up. As it sits now everything is ready to go just waiting for a new water sensor tomorrow morning, and getting the EGT bung tapped to suit the probe thread. And then shes a goer !!

Also as per Mudskis advice, I have now got a 1/8NPT coolant sensor coming tomorrow morning, and I picked up a NPT to Metric reducer, so the sensor should go nicely.



Big mess of wires...


Gauge fitted to the pillar pod and neatly terminated end cables.



Cables protected.



2 wires to pickup the Park light positive and the dimmer switch negative.



And we have a working gauge (no sensors plugged in at this stage)

Looking good!

Looking good!

Thanks mate. Yeah slowly getting there. After this I'm attacking the cooling system (or getting it attacked) lol. At least now I'll be able to compare before and after.

Don't ya love wiring... Once its all done you'll have something else to worry about. Whats happening on those bloody gauges! Lol.

Funny isn't it. I got rid of the 3L, so I don't have to worry about that sort of stuff.... And here I am putting in monitoring devices on a 4.2 .... Ironic !

Just confirming with those with a stock ic, teeing off this little hose at the back is accurate enough? ??
