Here is what we did for a cooler.

Hey Rich, thanks for the pic. This is the same idea I have been planning for mine, and I've been bugging Nat for more pictures/details of the setup

Can you explain the setup you are running for the dual winches? How do the plumbing and controls work on that setup?

I can power the winch and weels at the same time.
There is no need for a big tank, like the one I made
I am going to redisign it, make it smaller.
The one I have now can take 100 liters, I think 50 liter will be enough.

Very cool. I've read the service manuals on your site, but none of them explain how the PTO is controlled. I'm assuming it is operated by the "winch" handle below your steering wheel?

Do you think that using a cooler setup would help reduce the need for a large tank?

Hi
Dual setup is done by a direction valve (12v 2amp)
The winch handle below the steering wheel is only to turn PTO on and off
Winch control is done with remote and electric solenoid valves.
A cooler would help reducing oil tank size. But I also would like the whole
system to be heavy duty, so if I should use the full potential in the pump/winch
It should be at least 5o liter oil.
3x pump capacity pr. min is recommended for hydraulic system
I can make a receipt for the setup on my site.
Will make a video of how it works, when i got time for it.

When it comes to price, most of the parts are home built.
Total price is tha same as the Norwegian supplier is demanding for a 8274

Is the front winch hydraulic as well?

So once you pull the PTO handle and engage it, the pump starts pumping fluid to the direction valve and then either to the winch or the tank? A diagram or video or anything else you want to post would be great!

Have added a PDF link on the bottom of my site. Hopes this explain some

ok this is great information, i am pretty certain i will go hydraulic i want to make sure i have the power steering pump that will push 1500/4gpm of pressure. i am thinking of the h1 Mile maker.

my rig has a set trap power steering cooler double flow. i think i mention earlier on this thread it made a major difference in the temperature of the pw fluid. i can now grab the oil lines without burning my hands.

thanks for all the great information

[FONT=Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]I called Toyota North America today. Lucked out and got a guy who owns an 80 Series and is building it I told him about IH8MUD and may have sold him on an IBS Dual Battery or Perfect Switch Dual Battery system over a National Luna and a MM Hydro Winch over an Warn Electric...

He stated the manual states 1,351 PSI at Idle with the Valve closed. This is the Minimum Specification. He claims Toyota is conservative with their ratings. This spec indicates that the PS Pump will operate reliably all the way down to this pressure.

Toyota does not seem to publish a maximum rating but based on the way Toyota rates things, he was confident it would put out more than the minimum rating.

In discussing this with both Toyota & Mile Marker, everything seems to indicate 1,500psi / 4gpm is most likely what the pump is putting out ... or at the very least the rating closer to the desired spec verses the lower Minimum Spec.

The Minimum Spec is where you start having trouble and the pump and it would be declared “defective” ... Hope this info helps.

Thanks for the PDF, I'm definitely a picture/diagram person!

Filmpros, is this similar to your dual winch setup?

I have a dual 12K Mile Marker Setup. Mile Marker has a recommended install for this. They supply a directional valve mounted in the front of the vehicle, near the PS Pump, that directs fluid the the Winch you choose. You plumb to the rear from that valve but the rear is normally bypassed. The valve only powers the winch when required. We put in an idiot proof system to assure operation of only one winch at a time.

Nat88toy has the details...he installed it and does all the work on my trucks.
