Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys quick question before I make a hasty purchase decision. I'm running a LN106 full Hilux drive train on my rig and I'm considering of running 37 inch trepadors. Im a recreational off roader and I'm wondering if it's ok to Change the front Birfields 27 spline only to Nitro Gear chromoly or its a ...

Bwa ha ha. I think he'd be speechless. Then apoplectic, then speechless again. Who would DARE bring something DIFFERENT to a whinge challenge event. :lol: :lol:

So have anyone actually used this in Oz?
So far MMM doesn't question us when we used them in the RFC but it is interesting to know ...

I would love to ...

I just got the carbon brushes replacement/ drop in kit.
Damn sounds pretty expensive when the bill came up.
Around AUD100 for the 6hp XP motor.

Is that a fair price or u reckon i've been ripped?

I'm quite curious is there such thing as a 24V version for this motor from Warn?
Plus i've always ...

Thanks for the help guys.

I was camping with MMM not too long ago in the RFC lol.

I guess no one sells them online. I'll drop by the local Warn distributor then.
Cheers.

Because i would like to know if it's still possible to get the brushes and how much would they cost before I even consider buying a winch motor.

And yes i did bought a new motor only to find out the new one was a bigger lemon.
Hence it would be nice if i could revive 2 slightly baked motor that's ...

Hi there,
I'm quite keen on rebuilding our winch motor as the carbon brushes seems pretty worn.
I've a 12v 6hp and 4.5hp motor.
One of the 6hp motor when we opened it up it's full of black soot all over the place.
However i can't seem to find out who sells them online.
Google leads me to many ...

Will be participating in this years RFC as a co driver to get some experience.
The driver will be a my friend, a Malaysianised Russian.

Roughly whats our truggy like.
A Suzuki Jimny as the base.
SR20DET
Bundera Gearbox, Transfer Case and axles.
ARB Lockers front and rear.
3 link front suspension

Hi there i know this is a long shot but i have exactly the same problems like yours.

I recently purchased a brand new Warn 6hp motor which is installed on a M8274-50.
Just finished installing a 6hp motor, albright solenoids and synthetic rope.

Unfortunately when spooling the rope with no / zero ...

Hi everyone i really need your help as per the topic.
I recently purchased a brand new Warn 6hp motor which is installed on a M8274-50.
Just finished installing a 6hp motor, albright solenoids and synthetic rope.

Unfortunately when spooling the rope with no / zero load, the motor runs really hot ...

Just to share with u guys with the winch.
I just installed a brand new 6hp xp Warn motor, Albright Solenoids, 60M of plasma rope.
Pics will up up soon.

However i'm abit concerned if this is a major issue.
While spooling in the new plasma rope with this new motor i noticed the winch motor is pretty ...

So u are saying it's a simple fix or the winch is quite messed up?

As for the mod u were talking about do u have a website or pictures of what exactly you are describing?

These days back here u get more and more ppl converted on the idea of PTOs like in the video above that electrics are ...

Yeah I have a GU, but the modded Warn highmount winch plate is on this:
The only pics I have of the plate, which was widened about 75mm, the braces 'flared' outwards to accept the wider bottom housing and redrilled to suit the wider fairlead and 6 bolt pattern.

I stumbled on to this video ...

Stop making me freaking envious.
I'm just curious what else on that winch of your is still a Warn?
LOL.
It is giving me the Giggles...

Only pics i have of the winch plate for now.
It's constructed out of 10mm plate.

Awsome...
I can't wait to send it to the fabricators and discuss my requirements this weekend.
Surprising to hear that the Warn winch plate for the hi mount is only 1/4inch thick.
Coz my fabricator kept assuring me that 6mm plates were sufficient and it's how it's been braced.

Btw do you have any ...

Given it's in a light rig, rope and 6hp would be the most you would need to do.
But then...
Brakeshaft
Albright solenoid
Bracing
Oil drain
Widened drum/freespool
Twin motor top hat
24 volt

Hahah Funny..
Slowly but surely.
First i need to save some giggles so that i can accumulate and sell them ...

I would recommend a Gigglepin.
But I won't.

Hey bro i finally did the unthinkable.
I bought a Ramsey winch......

Not...

I acquired a M8274-50....
Anything i should do to the winch before installing it?
Fit in drains holes?
Upgrade wirings?

Don't mention Gigglepin coz i can only afford to ...

The new motors will bolt on. You will most likely need to buy a pinion gear though. As the newer motors use a splined pinion gear and the older ones used a Key-way.
mine is an older model and the new 6hp fitted no issues once the pinion gear turned up.
From memory the pinion gear is only about $30 ...

Hey GUtripper
Thanks for identifying the high mount below.

I'm quite curious if you have any idea would this particular version of the M8274 would be able to run a newer 6hp motor?
I read somewhere where someone mentioned that apparently a component ...

Well if you wanna see and hear one in action this is how it goes.

Back here they normally use a 7.5 inch IFS diff from the Toyota Prado for the God Winches.
I'm sure you can search on you tube to see how they perform during competition.
They then choose their ratios for high speed, super high speed and warp speed before competing.

Yup the above are Toyota winches ...

Thanks for the tips GUTripper.
Will let u know the final outcome when i've come to my senses.
A new M8274 is going around AUD2100 over here. How much is it down under?
Been going gaga over the classifieds.
Another interesting Highmount and Lowmount from Mr. Toyoda.

Thanks appreciated it GUtripper
Recently a friend of mine offered a M8274 for sale.
Looking at the pics can anyone give a wild guess which model is this my looking at the winch motor (is it a 2.5 or a 4hp motor?) and the clutch free spool thingy switch (the knob looks circular instead of a "T" shape ...

Ok 9.5xp 3 votes
M8274 0 votes

When u guys mean higher duty cycle means i've more winching time than the M8274?
I'm surprised... I would have thought the M8274 is a proven and reliable design compared to the 9.5XP.
I was half expecting everyone would recommend me to go for the highmount especially ...

Just curious what cables did u upgrade to?
Would 400amp welding cables do the job?

Dont understand this bit: "like a C two folds, if you wont use the existing bar, i put another 3mm sheet in front and welded it out"
Appreciate if you could elaborate abit further.
Hope it's not to much to ask but would be great if you guys can post up some pics if any.
Will try to post up better ...

Hey guys quick question as i'm quite clueless about electrics.

Say if i have an 80 amp factory alternator. Is it really necessary or an option to fit a fuse inbetween the alternator and your typical 3 post Warn Isolator (mine looks ancient, squarish and goldish with lots of heat sinks).
If so what ...

I have a XP9.5 with rope on a GU (lots of bar work and extra weight) .
I also previously ran a mildly modded (rope/bracing etc, but stock motor) highmount on a 2500kg wagon.
On a light rig like yours, a stock highmount would be a touch slower than the 9.5 under load, but I dont think there would be ...

Hi there i am in the market for either the above winch to replace my "Ding Dong Ching Chong 12000lb" winch.
It will be installed on my Daihatsu Rocky.

However i can't decide if i should run the 9.5XP or the M8274.
Let's just compare stock to stock and let's not talking about modding the winch.
I ...

Richmond makes LockRights (lunch box lockers)
Eaton (formerly Tractech) makes Detroit Lockers (the original automatic locker with its own housing).

I've only used a Lockright on a Toyota Hilux using the 2 pinion open diff housing.
I used to run a Detroit Locker on my Daihatsu Rocky.
