HZJ79 Trayback install, turbo, inercooler and exhaust manifold.

Ok, had a bit of time to mess with some electrical stuff - and my ARB/Air system.

I added a second battery, unfortunatly it is on the other side of the truck so I have to run more wire than I would like to have. This is what I did:

Added second battery, connecting main to a charging relay that senses when the alternator is charging - when it is the aux battery is charged and powered up. When the truck is off the main battery is isolated from the aux battery - so I always have a starting battery. The switch allows me to shut both batteries down, use the main and aux when running, or both batteries if I want to use the winch or the main dies and I want the aux to start the truck. All the battery connecting cables are 4/0, and the relay wires are 2/0 - both are pretty huge wire. The winch will be 4/0 when done as well.

Secondly, I have added a second fuse panel inside the truck and under the dash - it runs all my aux systems, a/c, ARB, guages, aux lights, e locker etc. It is good for 120 amps of accessories. everything has huge fuses on them in case something shorts out.

ARB air system:

For the air system I used the new ARB bigger compressor and a 2.5 litre air tank, I also added a Slee aluminum manifold and water seperator. I feel that the compressor produces alot of water and that can't be good going into the air tank and locker itself, the dryer is easily emptied by pressing a button. I made a small bracket and attached it to the battery brace.

I had to relocate the rad overflow bottle as it interfered with the electronics platform - but I'll find a better spot for it when I get rid of the intercooler for a more compact Water/air intercooler. The electrics are bolted to a teflon cutting board that is mounted to an aluminum plate.

There are some pics below- will post more when it is done.

Wire alone was about 500, everything total to wire the aux battery will be about 800 total.

Ok, finished the winch install, just have to replace the motor and solenoid box when it arrives. I'll be mounting the new Allbright solid state solenoid under the hood so nothing will be exposed.

Here are some pics.

Nice Winch Install Job!!!

nice little water hole there M8...
you seem to flexing a bit better and the ride looks smoother... i would almost be tempted to remove one front leaf per side...

you had your locker engaged didn't yah?

 

[lshobie]

Umm, it's coil front I will be adding spacers but need to lift the rear a bit - sags too much.

Locker - maybe

 

[crushers]

LOL!!
yah, 79 series... longer panhard? drop the rear arm mounts?

 

[lshobie]

Ya I need a longer panhard as I am going with a 3 inch lift spring in the front, not sure about the rear yet, might put one leaf back in the rear pack as I am carrying a few pounds of kit when I wheel - but I stilll neede a bit more clearance between the bed and the tire - maybe raise the bed a bit or make a little longer shackle - or a combo of both - will sleep on it. Pretty happy with the way it runs though - very comfy and kicks some serious ass.

Let me know if you find spacers, I want to get some for my 79 series but have not started looking yet, I figured I would have to pull a spring and mesure to see what will fix. So if you know or find some, please let me know.

Cheers,

Michael

your cruiser hauls ass mate!! look at it crawl around in that mud .so sick.

 

[lshobie]

TLC, I have found lots in OZ, 30 and 50mm, shipping is a bastard though.

Wayne, pretty sure the front springs are different, they are not as wide as the 80 unfortunatly.

Pink, ya it does hual ass pretty good - not done yet though - still have some more work to do

 

[crushers]

hummm, when you buy springs from Dan for an 80, or the 79 he supplies the same part number... interesting.
i will give him a heads up tomorrow...

 

[lshobie]

I'm trying to find the OME application guide - was online - it has the part numbers for the springs - that should tell. It'd be nice if they were the same - but I still don't like OME anymore - junk.

Found the dobinson application chart - no 79 part numbers match the 80 part numbers. Pretty sure they are different - the 79 springs are alot narrower.

 

[pinkfloyddsotm]

yeah 80's springs are definitley alot bigger than the 79's..and what sort of shipping problem are you having with coil spacers?

 

[lshobie]

The shipping costs from OZ are always very high.

 

[crushers]

i sit corrected... sorry guys

 

[pinkfloyddsotm]

really ? just for some coil spacers ? i could send them out at the true postal price..but then again you still have to pay postage to get them sent to me for me to send to you..what site were you lookin at buyin them from ?

 

[tlcruiserman]

The shipping costs from OZ are always very high.

I used to ship to Canada as well as OZ (from US) and I believe the prices are crazy but I think it is more of a canadian thing than an OZ thing.

I can get stuff from OZ pretty cheap.
