Still sitting in my garage... Am moving house and don't want to lug it around. Price drop to $1000 if someone comes and picks it up in next 3 weeks. After that, price goes back up and I'll start looking for a cruiser to build around the winch.:rofl:

Still for sale if anybody is interested

Posted into the parts for sale thread Here

Also includes 6 new-in-box u-joints. More than you can ever break! Am also including a free PTO take-off gear for inside the T-case. My HZ T-case on my LC already came with it, so I did not need to use. Bought 2nd hand and it already had surface rust. If you can find a new one, better to use...

6 spare Yokes (2 photos from different angle to show which are spline and which are smooth bore) Bottom left yoke is the shear pin yoke I was running. Same yokes from different angle spare shear pins I could not get hold of an original PTO lever so I fab'ed this one to mount onto the 1HZ...

Some more photos of the winch: Rear View OEM Roller plate and top guards (did not use in my build) Custom sewn cover. removable (combo of press buttons and velcro). Since I was running my winch under the car, I had this made to keep the dirt out when not in use.

My LC is sold, so am selling my PTO winch set-up: OEM PTO box, PTO Winch, spare pillow blocks shafts, drive shafts and yokes. Will also throw in a set of new U-Joints I have lying around. Had it mounted under floor on my LJ78, rear mounted with front line pay-out; To make it front mounted again...

Moving back from Asia to the States and can’t take my LC with me due to having an engine swap - it’s a 1992 LJ78 with a swapped in 1PZ diesel + turbo. Apparently for US import, engine has to be original. 😩 Am thinking about parting out some of the accessories before selling the car and taking...

No it was fairly easy. They sit with a press fit in the ID on the PTO shaft and I drove them off with a hammer, piece of pipe and some wood as counter. The housing side has a bit of play and the OD of the bearings just slide in, you just need to watch out for it going in square.

Yep same thinking here. I already have a much bigger mechanical sealed push/pull cable on order. am also thinking about the hydraulic version but have not found a small enough lever yet. I don't want to put a second hand brake lever into the cab.

Final touches. The plastic throttle cable knob broke off pretty quickly as it was not designed for the pull force needed so I re-purposed a spark plug socket to a make-shift T-handle. T handle lives in the glove compartment and is only put on when needed. Cut and drilled, before tapping...

Building cable fixing/adjustment bracket. Hollow bored M10x1.25 built sitting in a welded nut with a flat nut that can be adjusted to set right tension on the cable. the bracket bolts into tan existing bracket for the rear brake lines. Boring the M10 bolt so that the cable can go through...

2nd step building the winch side brackets. I wanted to do this without chopping the original freespool handle (just in case I want to later move the winch to the front) and found that a 1 inch exhaust clamp fits perfect for and can clamp onto the lever knob. 50lb hammock spring as spring...

REMOTE FREESPOOL Am using a throttle cable I still had in my parts box. 1st Step building the cabin side mount. Mount welded from flat bar and angle. Nuts welded on to fasten it near footwear of driver side.
