  3. winch advice

    Posted

    When I went Offroad with Morpheus I had a warn 9.5ti front mounted and another warn 9.5xp demountable for the rear, used only synthetic 12mm, had in cab controls for both front and rear and remote controls when outside vehicle. Also had kill switches on bumpers in case of emergency. Winches were wired from battery using Anderson connectors and 13mm welder cable also had a rally type switch with key so they could be disabled when not in use. I made a set of jumper cables with Anderson connector too. I also changed rear 9.5xp to an Albright waterproof solenoid too. You would need an aluminium fairlead as roller fairlead will damage synthetic line.

     

    Be handy to have a few different size strops and shackles and a couple of snatch blocks if you are pulling heavy items, not forgetting a winch blanket and I kept some pieces of vinyl from an old cuttainsider to place on the ground if winching over rough areas.

    I mainly burn softwood in my stove, get bundles of slab offcuts from the sawmill for a tenner each, use it to build fences and sheds then cut and store the rest for the stove..... have conifer and leylandii too which is mostly used for the overnight slow burn... built myself an 8.5 x 1.64 by 2m high wood store this year out of slab wood and an 8.5m pallet from the local engineering company (freebie).. some 3x2 £50 and corrugated sheeting £99...

    Aye I find Ernie our 10stone Sicilian Mastiff is the best deterrent too...... looks real soft standing next to you but on full tilt the skin on his face draws back and he looks really evil.... he has a good sense of who is dodgy too..

    My only solution is to charge round to the in-laws and jump in their pool, have a BBQ and beer then go straight home before they speak to me. :001_tt2:

     

    The best solution of course is to own a massive company, play golf during the cool morning and sit in an air-con office during the afternoon. :001_rolleyes:
