    Just a daytrip in Northern France.

    The TLC a muddy rig needs after a trip, I usually underestimate the hard work. Pressure clean the outside and the undercarriage, take off the wheels and pressure clean all those nooks and crannies. Decided the next day the wheelwells could use an undercoat spraying as well as the space they...

    Just a daytrip in Northern France.

    http://youtu.be/EULJQSU8jQE EULJQSU8jQE Been a while since I've post up anything, other hobbies and the missus keeping me busy I guess. In the mean time the land cruiser either just sat there and waited. Or just plain was used as a tool for work. Nice to get out and about in amongst the fields...

    Who said pigs can't fly?

    Never come close to a pointy stick mounted on a bulldozer :mrgreen: Especially when you're trying to sneak in on its lunch :shock:

    what size winch

    That is indeed the weird thing about DC eletric motors. They always seem to use the power they need to get the job done. Even to the extent of running hot and burning out the motor, relays or even cables if the entire system isn't dimensioned correctly. It sometimes feels like its giving 110%...

    what size winch

    As expected the PC didn't like the apple software, got a look at the files at least. I'll have a better look with the Imac at the office in the morning. Thx again!

    what size winch

    Sorry for the offtopic posts. Mines a 9.5ti from Warn, has pulled me out of the mud a few times. Lightly loaded vehicle. Anyone know what Toy fitted as standard? You can put as large a winch on as possible, but at some point the chassis or the winch power supply becomes the weak point. I'll...

    what size winch

    My Ipad doesn't load the link wright. It wants you or me to convert to Icloud. ;) Since it's a bit frigid outside and TV is rather boring, well if possible I'd read through the entire document. A public access pdf and some munchies and you'll have made me a very happy chappy indeed.

    what size winch

    Well, I always thought adding a snatch block gave me more pulling power? It certainly seems like that when I'm tensioning up trees for felling. Any articles or interesting reading on the subject?

    Which Clutch

    Biggest problem is precisionlifting the combined gearbox and the transfer case. These are bolted together and are real heavy. I bought myself one of those hydraulic gearbox lifters. The rest is just easy going, coffee and repair manual at hand.

    Which Clutch

    The car manufacturers relie on those brand name subcontractors helping them develop just about every part of the vehicle. I recently ordered an OEM BMW airfilter made by MANN to replace the aftermarket MANN filter in the BMW. Although the fit of the aftermarket airfilter was more than ok! The...

    Which Clutch

    When I got the tranny rebuilt, I did some clutches research on the aussie forums. Indeed you'd think a clutch is a clutch. Seems there are normal duty clutches and heavy duty ones. Some people who put in the heavy duty ones had shudder on takeoff, some didn't. So as my vehicle is the OEM heavy...
