I thought you could only use a hawse with plasma rope. First four do one.

I use a 2" receiver for occasional towing. I like the arrangement, but as said above its illegal on newer landies. it should look like this.

ive got rocky mountain tops on my defender and can vouch for the quality which is excellent.

I'd get a 4m rated nylon rope from extreme4x4. Had mine for a few years now and its been great 9/10 its all I've needed. After that I'd buy a 2m strop for a bridle or tree saver. After that I'd buy a kinetic. Extreme4x4 sell the receiver setup which I've found d to be excellent. Safari equip...

Jates. They do the job but a 2" receiver setup is loads better. Given the jates position you better be sure a rope is connected before you get stuck! Front. Sounds like a good idea. 2 points allow a bridle setup to spread load too. Rope. Ropes every time. Much better than strops as they...

if i was doing a new body on a d2 id stick one of these on it. All the panels are fibre glass with a steel space frame underneath :D goes like the clappers. had a go in one a few months ago.

wera ratchet spanner. love em.

i was under the impression that the tru trac and ashcroft atb work in a very similar way. Just that ashcroft ones are better quality :D had my ashcroft rear atb a couple of months now and it definately makes a difference. on mud it makes a huge difference to traction, on rocky section not so...

dinitrol definately. i just got my local landie garage to do a deal. i bought the dinitrol stuff (about £100) of the various types and then they steamed my chassis off on their external lift, let it dry overnight, and then applied the stuff id given them the next day. £80 done, result.

Open your windows lol

and then they got the body right and forgot about the chassis on the D2! :rofl:

Really good explanation. Thanks for that :) Also agree that the winch should definately be connected to the AUX battery; but to be sure you wont burn out the tmax relay it would need to be upgraded. Lots of variables however, and just because a winch can draw 400a load doesnt mean it will...

quite right, but he will have the engine running when winching.

I believe if you have 2 batteries in parallel connected to each other any load placed on it will be transferred by both batteries. Hence the winch load will be satisfied by both the aux and starter batteries when the relay has them connected. The issue therefore being you may destroy a relay not...

Just remember that the winch load will be passing thru that tmax relay which might not be upto the job. A winch at full load might be pulling 400a +

that plastikote stuff hard wearing? had it in my head it will peel off like rubber sheeting.

give simon a ring at affordable autos in congleton. nice guy, does nothing but landies.

Sounds like the centre diff is destroyed. From Dave@Ashcroft I have checked the adjustment but it won't come out of diff lock. Why?This is often reported after recent off roading, the centre diff is there to allow the props to turn at different speeds when cornering to stop drivetrain wind...

94 for me. This is a fun site to see the numbers registered since 2001. Search results for 'land rover' - How Many Left?

So Dave @ Ashcroft says I need 5806M. Pity they are out of stock till next week. My drive flanges look like this (on the left). So i need 5806M drive members These are defender drive flanges with plastic caps, which I dont have. These are the 5806 ones.
