SUPER SWAMPERS Drooooooooool!

putsy · Post by **putsy** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:06 pm

They are huuuuuggggggeeeee and in my opnion they stop to much air flow if you are putting on a bull bar and for the price and size they just arnt worth it.

Super swampers rock iv tryed a few types of tyers eg. Micky Thompson MTZ and Baja Claws but the swampers are the next level.

Scorpion · Post by **Scorpion** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:20 pm

Very nice truck, man! Welcome to the forum.

Post by **george** » Tue May 20, 2008 4:08 pm

Tom I have edit your post with [img]...[/img] tags but you will not be able to posts pics of these size by yourself as the forum's they are exceeding the forum's limit. Try posting images no larger that 800x600 to be safe

putsy · Post by **putsy** » Wed May 21, 2008 2:35 am

Thanks for that mate will resize befor posting in future.

A Turbo... Why not? you can use the turbo off the 2.4 Motor (2L-T) and bolt straight up and seing as the motor will be out of the car I thaught why not. I have just sent to the injector pump to get a boost componsator fitted to it so should be back tommrow or the next day big money to ($1350 AUS) but it does includ tuning when the vehical is running. And I just like the noise as well

Hey guys this thread mus stay in inglish pliese

. Go and translate you posts immediately.

My previous dog also used to drink out of the pool before I had to fence it off when started building the nation. The current one is so mad she loves swimming day and night I had to put up this plastic mesh stuff that looks like special chicken wire, as she is smaller and squeeze through in-between the bars of the fence. You still think you are sleeping and then suddenly at 2 am am you are awaken by a big splash as she dives into the pool.

Cus I had today off I stuffed around with the rear axle bearings and sucess :!: Its amazing what you can do with a few bits of pipe, a grinder and a huge hammer. Axles back in but yet to take for a drive as I forgot to get diff oil :roll:

Rito, a bit of a mud map and small explanation of how I wired up the in cab winch control. I used smaller gauge wiring to run into the cab (20amp wire I think). It runs onto a 12v 20 amp momentary rocker switch. It runs a common earth and 2 power wires (one for in and one for out). They are connected directly to the solenoids in the control box located on the bulbar. I also added a switch on the earth wire to stop accidental use of the winch in the cab. Anyway some pic and some wiring diagrams. The wiring is for a T-Max 12,000lb winch but it could be applied on any winch like a warn ectâ€¦. I also moved most of the relays from inside the cab that were in the engine bay and also made some bike holders so I can transport 2 bikes quickely and safley.

Wiring For winch

Rocker switch

Isolator Switch

In cab relays

Bike holder

Well iv been doing abit of playing around and so I decided to make a power distribution for the tray of my Hilux so all my roll bar camp lights and accessories sockets are easily accessible and run off my 2nd battery that is in the tray.
I made it from scratch with bits and pieces bought from Jaycar (auto electrical shop) and bits and pieces I had laying around. The box is stainless steel. It holds 3 40amp 5 pin relays, 3 Switches for the relays, a Cigarette lighter socket, a 4x4 accessory socket and a 50amp Anderson plug.
I drilled holes for the cabling and added grommets as required.
All switches are water proof and the box is rubber sealed.
All relays are 40amp 5 pin relays, I will be using 2 of the relays for camp lights that will be put on the roll bar. The 3rd relay is used for the 4x4 and cig lighter socket.
The Anderson plug is not run via a relay.
Will put more pics up when I fit it to the uteâ€¦.
