Had some 6" tube spare...

I use Aldi roll; It's white but works ok.

I have not had the wire pulling out of the clamp yet on my Koenig. The problem with winches that you always have is that you want as much cable on the drum as possible to reach trees, but it bunches. So leaving 8 wraps on the drum as the plasma lock suggests is the last thing you want. So the Gigglepin loop welded to the drum is not a bad idea. Only trouble is that trying to undo the knot if you want to replace the cable is almost impossible after you hang 2 tons on it.
I didn't fancy welding to the EP9 drum, as it is cast and I am not sure what is going on inside the drum near the ends.

Have a look for ‘plasma lock’ it’s designed to keep the first 3 or so wraps on the drum.

That certainly works. You are not actually meant to have full load onto the splice point. I have the M5 (or M6) as well, if you use a 12.9 caphead, it should be ok
You are meant to have 3 wraps around the drum minimum and put a wrap around this so you cannot unspool further than this.
Not that anyone does that though.

splice the rope into an eye, and use the bolt that you have for the original eye. The bolt with a penny washer secures it. Have done this for years on my EP9.
Increasing the friction is a waste of time, once your cable is covered in slippery mud.

This, coupled with £2 a litre for fuel soon and eyewatering gas bills, A land rover is now out of reach for many people.

Keeping it simple is generally best IMO.

I think you mean these:

Might work well on my jeep. If only they existed in 9.00 x 16, I 'd have some for my landy.

I think the original 46 mm callipers with vented disks are hard to beat, Unless you increase the wheel diameter. This is what I have run for years. And the only place where these might not be up to the job is if you come down mountains a lot and don't know how to use engine braking (or have an automatic). If you use stainless pistons, the heat transfer to the fluid is less. When I was involved with rally cars, this was the second choice of materials for pistons. Titanium is better, as it transfers heat slower still, but that was not allowed in certain classes.

Modify the car? I am on 35" tyres and about 2" lift. And lowered the body 40mm lower on the chassis, chopped 60 mm out of the roof and used a flat roof, rather than the ribbed version (saving another 25mm). The sporty reason for the mods is lower C of G and less frontal area (against trees), the practical reason is so it fits in the garage. It measures 2m exact, and my garage door opened is 2050mm.

Good to see he finished it, sort of. I think it is a great concept.

I know it's a bit late, but with regards to toyota wheels, would this fit?
New Toyota Landcruiser 750x16 Pickup Tyres On Split Rims | eBay
Looks ideal for local abuse, and split rims with tubes for easy fix in the field.
edit: sorry they're 5 stud.

I'd say you can hang a london bus of that. I have a suggestion though: the single ball joint becomes a bit of a weak spot with those portals and large wheels. I'd be inclined to suggest that replacing the a-frame with 2 straight links with ball joints or bushes at the ends is far stronger, and easier to engineer.

Anyone used a courier to send a set of complete wheels with tyres. I am trying to bid on some for my jeep, but they always seem to be on the other side of the country somehow.
