I dont no if this is of any intrest to anyone chaps, brand new complete saley hydraulic setup for sale. http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=22&id=106154&Itemid=81 chayten

Hi Mark. I have currently just made this same decision. I would advise you pm saley for a phone number and give him a ring as he's a helpful chap. I am going for a 30cc pump (which saley has supplied at a excellent price) driven of the crank pulley via a tiny propshaft (saley can supply this as well), there will be a dog clutch in there as well . He can supply custom tanks, levers (with or without solenoids so that you can have a remote/external winch controls as well) and pretty much anything else you need for your set up. I think compared to the equivlant electric winch they are preety much fit and forget and due to the nature of a how a hydraulic winch works are pretty much water proof as well. chayten

is this a bad thing as i seriously considering getting rid of my simca axles and buying these. Chayten

ill be there . Got to collect my shocks from gwyn and see what other goodies i can buy .

I've just had to make this decision my self. My choices were. 1. stick with the 8274's i have with upgrade mainshafts and freespool drums. spend another 2000-2500 on top housings, 4 motors, 24v alternator, 3 oddysey PC1500's, wiring, alrbrights, etc etc. 2. Go for saley winches front and rear with a goodwinch in centre (which is already fitted). For a fully working system with good quality leavers and crank driven 30cc pump (this allows drive assist) it is going to cost between £5500-£6000. I have gone for option number two. My reasons are. 1. I really don't think hydraulic is as complex as i first did. 2. The cost. Im getting 2 brand new winches for £6000 maximum. I would not see much change out of £8000 if i went a brought 2 brand new GP84's. 3. I run a 3.5 mazda slt35 290 pound ft of torque and its mated up to an auto box (this combination if used properly will allow drive assist and stop me stalling. 4. well to be honest i just like to be a little bit diffrent lol. For me the red winch wasnt even a consideration, no freespool and no air switchover between the 2 speeds. Also the electric equivalents have proved time and time again that low line winch does not handle large lengths of plasma as well as an 8274/saley configured winch will. Thanks for reading guys. Chayten P.S excuse the spelling gents.

i have just fitted a mazda slt 35 into my challenge truck. What an engine it is, loads of power all through the rev range. I think the twin turbo conversion i have just ordered for it should make it even better

that really is a ugly landrover!! i like the wheels though and there 6 stud which is pretty intresting.....
