Rancho shocks on lifted HZJ77

[Sowikal]

Does anyone know the Rancho 9000 shock (part number) that will fit a 1990 HZJ77 with a 2.5" lift?

Thanks, Eric

I would ask the manufacturer. Their website is: Toyota 4Runner/Surf, Hilux, LandCruiser, Prado Suspension, Shock Absorbers & Accessories

The 77 is not listed but you can email them telling that it has an 2.5" lift....
Then you get your info first hand.

Hi Ron,what pump do you use to run your Hyd winch,l have one of the and thinking of repowering it.

To be honest, all I can say it's 6.5 cub cm. In other words it displaces 6.5 cubic centimeter of fluid each revolution.
The pump itself is a very common hydr. pump used by professionals and referred to as an "italian pump"
I builded the setup myself and did the calculations myself.
You have to know that the pump is driven by the crank by means of a V-belt.
I used an A/C electric coupling in front of the pump so it will run only when needed.
At that time I was afraid the coupling would not be able to handle the torque needed for a pump with higher volume (say 9.5 ccm) and therefore choose to have a smaller pump and use a higher RPM.
If I had to do it again ( and maybe I will some day) I would use the higher volume pump. I'm confident the coupling will handle it.

A remark: because the pump can deliver almost double the pressure Milemarker specifies, I've a setup with a safetyvalve that dumps the pressure as soon as the allowed pressure is reached.

I also use a radiator to cool the hydr. fluid. It's a small oilcooler radiator, but it allows me to winch without limits for hours without any problem under full load.
