I bought mine from Amazon a few months ago, and it came with one. Then again Amazon isn't where most people think of to buy a winch, so who knows how long they'd had it.

A grand hell... the 9.5xp is $1240 on Amazon right now, and was over $1300 when I ordered my winch. The cheapest I've seen the Warn go in the last 6 months is around $1100 plus shipping... I paid $600 to my door for the EP, vs. $1k to pick up the XP from a Warn employee at his discount. Oh, my...

TTORA Forum - View Single Post - In-Cab Winch Control Install The solenoid connections and wire colors will be different, obviously. Wiring it by that diagram will also kill power to the controller socket unless the master switch is on. There should be a jumper wire from the main positive...

Well hell, now I can't figure out how to get the motor off. The 2 external bolts hold the can to the side plate, but the armature stays with the shaft, and I couldn't pry it out easily. I don't have working room with it in the bumper, so I'd have to pull it to figure it out. I'm 99% sure the...

*chirp* *chirp* Anybody?

I have a Superwinch EP9.0, and was wondering if anyone has messed with the motors on the EP series. Specifically, I'm wondering if the 5.6hp motor from the EP12.5/16.5 can be used in place of the 4.6hp motor of the 9.0. They look like the only real differences are the 2 different motors, and the...

For those not near a coast, here is the shop I got mine from, the Astoria location stocks various sizes of Amsteel, regular and Blue varieties. I'd imagine they'd be OK with phone orders. I used 1" tubular nylon webbing for my heat/chafe guards. I got a bunch of it off ebay, so if anyone...

I made my own extension line with 3/8" Amsteel Blue from a marine supply house ($1.80 a foot) and tube thimbles from Masterpull. I followed Amsteel's splicing instructions, though I used a ballpoint pen instead of a fid. The only thing I changed was rather than just leaving the dead end in the...

Why would you not keep the FF E-locker axle? I don't see an ARB + compressor + setup being much less than what you could sell the axle for, and the E-locker seems to be a sturdier, better design than the ARB anyway, not to mention losing the upgrade to a FF axle. Just my thoughts though.

Thanks for all the replies! The main reason I liked Downey's tank (other than the fact that it's much cheaper :D @ <$600) is that it has a level sender that works with the fuel tank and has the correct impedance to work with my stock fuel gauge. This would be my only gas tank- the stock Tacoma...

Does anyone have experience with Downey's 22-gallon fuel tank/cell for the 40 series Cruiser? I'm actually looking for a tank for my 2001 Tacoma that will work with a 3-link rear and tube bed. The Downey tank seems to fit my requirements- sending unit that both fits the tank and is compatible...

I'm looking for either a 3rd member or a complete full-float rear axle from an FZJ80. Gear ratio doesn't matter, as long as it isn't an E-locker- I have 4.88 gears for it anyway. I'd also take an empty third, I'm going with a Detroit anyway. Located in central NC, would prefer something local...

PM sent on the front axle!
