Well life's been busy so little time at home to tinker with the Cruiser.
Did fit a billet aluminium gear stick knob which is a solid lump of metal and a great feel to it. It is actually made by Bearmach for Landrovers but fits a treat.
I have a fair amount of stuff to bolt in once I get a bit of spare time. Hopefully more can be ready before our planned trip in August

Its the Pond, just by Penguin Island so its a tad North of Warnbro so I guess Safety Bay. All the suburbs there are skinny heading towards the beach.
I'm feeling old as most people cant remember that most of south of here was a bombing range
Oh I got a new hoodie also

Started fitting the rear winch. Wasn't sure the rear winch tray would fit but all good. Have to drill 2 holes which will be a pain later. The winch needs some love though. Clutch is seized but it's now in the kitchen sink soaking in wd40

and more. Will have to get a rebuild kit from the states. Anyone got a repair/parts manual for a xd9000 or xd8000?

well cooked the clutch some more but no luck... may have to get forceful. on a positive note picked up another for 100 bucks tonight to rebuild for my nephews rig
Is that full of beach sand and salt water? I thought ARB stocked the XD9000 and would have parts. The dealers were fitting them to the HDJ78/79 series a few years back. Isnt that what most of the pretty boy jeeps have?

I normally deal with Warn direct as quick and cheaper than any middle man dealer. Yeah I am figuring salt water. Depending on what the clutch gear costs I might destroy this one to save the housing.
Most the jeep crowd have Chinese made stuff which equals non repairable.

Well got a 3rd winch and went to fit it in the rear tray mount but couldn't get the bolts done up because have to remove the rope for access.
