I bet you can't wait to test it.

It looks great, looks up to the job.

When connecting the wiring, put some Vaseline on the connections and screws.
I bet you have some of that...

You just need the tray now, or something else to attach it.

AlexD333 · 08-07-2014, 15:30

I guess you could say they've got me hooked

AlexD333 · 08-07-2014, 15:31

I have no idea what this is meant to be. In the bin

...

Not just Scotch... but it has to be a malt.

My favourites are Singleton, and Dalwhinnie at the moment.
Sometimes you need a second opinion to be sure but even then...

I find the Islay ones too smokey and peaty. More like creosote lol..
but each to their own, my son loves the Islay malts and has a few with a price of £100 +
I tend to like the Highland malts, usually the one with the best discount...

Looks good

As said before take the gearbox end off and make sure it's greased.

Adz · 08-07-2014, 16:26

Take the end plate off & wake a load of grease in there as the Chinks don't bother

If you do that & reguly grease & wd40 it, it will last

DONT mount the electric box on the winch as it WILL catch on the spool

Mount it on the near side > ( passenger side ) inner wing

Any problems / questions, just txt / call
