Winch Swap Day!

Major Upgrade Day!




I finally got around to installing my bargain bin Warn Zeon 10-S winch that I got for half price because it was "non-functioning." New controller and BAM fully operational!


The bumper isn't designed to accept this winch, so I had to make some 1-1/4" spacers for the foot mount to get the winch to clear the taper of the bumper.



I finished it off with a Factor55 Ultrahook and RRP.



The controller pack is zipped to the bumper for now while I figure out a mounting solution for it. I'll be cutting the roller fairlead mounts off and making a front license plate holder to cover the top line feed opening.

Let There Be Light!

These were a major list item for me if I ever owned an FZJ80 Land Cruiser and I am so pleased that I managed to find a brand new set. I found these in Dubai! I need to decide what to do for lights, but I am not in hurry on this one. I want to get it right. This is what it should look like once installed though.

It is Good to Have Fabrication Friends

 Mounts, mounts, and more Mounts! I took Yagi to my buddy Ryan's house to get some mounts fabricated. Three out of four were completed because I need to do some rearranging in the engine compartment for the compressor to fit. sPOD and UDA module Hi-Lift mount I need to pull the boat battery left by the PO and install a smaller blue top Optima in a box and possibly replace the factory coolant overflow and windshield washer bottles to fit the ARB twin compressor.
