Hi Boys,
I'm Markus from Germany and owner of several BJ45 and one FJ55 which I'm currently about to restore.
Today I got a PTO - driven capstan winch on Ebay - which, according to its owner was home - made:
(Shafts - which are not in the picture - come with the winch)
As a Landcruiser - maniac for more than two decades I've never heard of such a thing on a J4.
But to my surprise this afternoon I found a few lines of the great Willem Jan Markerink telling that there should have been one by Toyota. He says that they had been mounted on the right frame rail - just like the one on Ebay.
I'd be very pleased if you had any further piece of information.
Just in case - here a working capstan winch (or 'spill' ) in a Landrover:
