If you need to change the steering box, just remember its a whole lot easier without a winch plate in situ.

do like the way you have incorporated the original inner wing and some of the top, not an option open to me on Tonka as they had to much rot on inner and outer but will keep in mind for yella if we ever get around to starting the rebuild

Thanks, was mainly done this way for ease of the build, the aim is to get the protection we need easily and with what we had to hand, so far it's three days build time and only £35 for pipe, everything else has been to hand from previous works or what Toby has picked up from the scrap pile, his garage is near a breakers yard/weigh bridge and anything interesting comes in he gets a shout...

Thanks for winch plate/steering box info, we have to weld it on, but a 9" grinder will soon have it off if needed, winch tray will be bolted so that can be easily removed if required.

Should have some more pics towards the end of next week....

Cheers Maf

Haha, its a Warn 8274, personally I think its the best winch for the job, fast, strong, easy to rebuild/improve, spares easy to get.

Running wide drum and less rope so doesn't get bunched up.

Running Bow 1 motor for reliable set up over speed, have heard faster motors can burn out when loaded right up.

Rebuilt it earlier this year and shake down over 4 events, happy days.

Get on! Here's some food for thought...

Had a good few hours at Toby's workshop and really taking shape now...

Toby worked on rear bumper, I cut up new roof, got old one off, cleared out rear tub, chopped off rear part of internal roll cage, rear tub is really clean, happy days....

Cut rear tub corners off, protection will flow these lines...

Rear arch chopped out...

Rear bumper (upside down) whilst Tobster welds up angles...

Roof will (of course be painted)... but check the redneckness out of it all...

Will crack on after mid winter pagen festival and hopefully be up for CLCC event on 30th Dec

Thanks! I'll let Toby know, they are really strong and set with tyres on full lock so if your wedged on a tree you can put full lock on and drive off

Roll cage will be in place before proper event, needed to lose rear section of it to plan what we are going to...

BD... no point hanging around :icon_winkle:crack on I reckon...

Really pleased with it, been messing around with lots of Cherokee's and this build is the culmination of idea's and what I need for the events/terrain that we have around here... happy days...

Green Jeep · « **Reply #45 on:** December 27, 2012, 05:26:19 PM »

Rear bumper, with two recovery points done...

Winch is all working now... hoping to try swamper's for size tomorrow...
