That's the winch bumper finished and painted, just need to wait for paint to dry and then I will fit it regards Stephen

I did exactly this, easy to move on a concrete floor with round bar rollers and vehicle winch, my A frame was going to be used to then lift machines into my trailer Regards Stephen

@Deranged oops wrong one sorry @De Ranged I made one of these a few years ago for lifting my lathe and milling machine, it is also adjustable height Regards Stephen

That's definitely my kind of off cut.. I'm a great believer in the waste and treasure saying....lol Regards Stephen

Heavy duty !!! I like it... Regards Stephen

Unfortunately the big mog nut only holds the wheel hub on, the bearing preload is set using the correct gasket when putting portal box castings back together Regards Stephen

Whatever you decide to do the hubs will need to be super tight as the cast iron hubs will be sacrificial if there is any movement, also I wouldn't be drilling too many holes in the cast hub as it may weaken it, I ended up making steel hubs because I was not happy with the Landrover cast ones, but that was because I was going to weld them As it stands at the moment it looks like you will have a lot of bolts to keep check on when it's testing time, ie, brake disc fasteners, Landrover hub fasteners, wheel nuts and mog hub nut I was left with two sets to worry about, wheel is tightened up on top of my disc fasteners so they cannot work loose, after that I only have wheel nuts and mog hub nut to keep an eye on I have to say though it's looking good and your cracking on with it Regards Stephen

Rain rain go away Let me weld all day today.... Not a bloody chance Some progress but not much Regards Stephen

I'm would say 17" or 20" would really struggle getting 16" to fit regards Stephen

In other things I started making collars for my flat bar bender so I can roll 3mm flat on its end Progress so far Old flange one of two Lathe work Parting off Rings will be drilled and tapped to take grub screws so I can tighten onto bender rolls creating the gap I need to stop flat bar deforming you get the idea.. regards Stephen

Not a lot achieved today, no thanks to the weather, really going to have to be ruthless in my garage to make space Started making a streamlined winch bumper, not a @Daan copy I hasten to add, but his is very streamlined, so I thought why not This part nearly finished and tried on Sid, will sit 2" lower when on proper regards Stephen

Excellent, very quick reply I will leave them where they are then, thanks Regards Stephen

Anyone had experience of these tyres, believe there made in Portugal, Off Road Armoury used to sell them. Cannot find any reviews, could have been used in Ultra 4 Thanks in advance regards Stephen

Nice, I made something similar for a friend years ago Regards Stephen

I have a couple of Staffa benders, must say I've never noticed then rippling pipe when in use Regards Stephen

Cheers Mark Have already removed the wire cable Regards Stephen

Is there a write up on Daan's winch ?? Regards Stephen

It might.......if it doesn't push the wall over first......... Regards Stephen

Thanks I've thought about going down that route before, but no experience with them also if engine dies you still have a means to extract up to a point with electric, but thanks for offering Regards Stephen

So power steering box fitted, no leaks, radiator and oil cooler fitted, no guysers...lol Boost pin and dynamic spacer fitted, engine seems a bit better, won't know until it's tried in anger, but Sid is mobile once again Question will a servo off a 90 or 110 fit Sid because I don't think my servo is as good as it should be Regards Stephen

Decisions, decisions, what do you guys think Was looking at the front of Sid and thought I could lose a whole load of weight by fitting a low line winch, cue new Rhino winch and also improve my approach angle a wee bit Without warn 8274 with mocked up Rhino low line Weight would be mainly lost with a new lighter bumper, as I'm thinking of putting the 8274 into the rear regards Stephen

Not quite, track rod is unimog with unimog track rod ends, my forged steering arm was drilled for a landrover track rod end from the steering box, if you remember I had to cobble up a tapered teamed Regards Stephen

No that's ok, track arm is unimog so very strong also it is shaped to fit under diff body, I was thinking more about the steering arm from the box, looking to beef that arm up Regards Stephen

@dangerous doug where did you get your tre's and taps from please Regards Stephen

@NRS91 with your kit, or anyone else with knowledge, is it essential to have boost controller and would you also tweek the fuel pump plastic locking tab, give you more fuel thing or are they to step it up another level again Regards Stephen
