Crazier than a box of frogs on acid

Rebuilt most of it except diff the other day and is now full of sludgy horrible oil again.
Checked the oil after spending 4 hours cleaning the disco with a jet wash and it still int very clean....

Aye it's not good whatever is in there!
Will be stripped back down tomorrow for a thorough clean and change the diff and oils again.
I certainly wouldn't be this relaxed about it if I had ashcroft internals such as yourself!
Halfway to buying a rear diff built by Nige btw.

Great news on the diff, you will not regret switch-on grip
Not good! And I think I would of shat myself too after spending the sort of dollar you have!
Glad all is OK though.
Haha yea I'm definitely looking forward to it. A few places I could of done with it this weekend just gone.

Gone and bought myself a winch......
It's mostly a superwinch ep9 with a different motor on it.
Was fully rebuilt by the guy I bought it off and hasn't been used since so looking forward to getting it fitted to my homemade winch bumper and testing it out!
It will do until I can afford a Red winch anyway.

nice !
Thanks.
Should do for pulling myself when I get stuck repeatedly at pay and plays.
Gonna be fitting one of these as I have no hook for it but this seems like a better solution imo.

i love my competition hook, really easy to hook around tow bars too to rescue other folk
d links are good, just fiddley and like to lock up with mud

Yea that's true it's easier. I just like the look and the added safety factor of it.
The big looking end goes through loop on the end of your rope and then attach a bow shackles through the other hole. More info here. Winch Safety Thimble | Factor 55 | Safer - Stronger - Smarter

So the winch is in.
Lifting the HD bumper and winch into position.....
Winch in and all bolted up and front end back together.
Just need to wire it all up now.
Did do a small test from the main battery to make sure all works as it should.
So will sort out moving the snorkel tube which goes where my second battery needs to go.
And when the tmax split charge system turns up I'll fit that too.
Now really can't wait to get out and use it.

Agreed! Was a good feeling once it was fitted and tested, and it came to life.
Definitely may partake in the punch card challenge they do down my local site next time.

I need a winch but so poor
More photos of today at Muddy Bottom.
Some definitely stuck pics...... Was deeper than it looked!
Kinda surprised I didn't rip off me new arches! Held up well!
Then the bit that caused the mess underneath in the pic in my previous post.
Very steep drop in, huge ruts, very muddy, and a big climb out!
Had to fill the ruts in front of the front wheels to be recovered sideways.
And just chilling on a hill!
What a guy! Awesome thread. Great car.

Haha. Save for one!
I know the feeling of being poor though...... The disco is entirely to blame!
