Yeah just saw this! Thanks! I'm going to follow up on 'MUD/SouthEast Overland. Crawlorado for some reason isn't working. I'm going to see what SouthEast can offer me on a MasterPull Superline in 3/8" 85feet with just a thimble so I can throw on a Factor55. But even that is still $400...

Oh cool! If you could do it over again with your M8000, would you stick with your 5/16" or would you use the 3/8"? I also just saw that Viking makes synthetic rope sleeves, both permanent and removable....

Cool Thanks! I'll look into it! What thickness is your syn rope?

All this talk of Synthetic rope/wire, It got me thinking... maybe I should get synthetic rope/wire. =) With that said, whats the best way to respool a winch, as in, is there a technique to spool on the rope attachment end? Also, is Viking Offroad a reliable source to buy synthetic rope and...

Yeah I figured that about the spacers so I bought the ARB Winch Kit (#3500050). I realize guys can make their own, but I don't have the means to make my own so I bought the kit. So how do you tell when the line, either wire or syn, is fatigued? I understand that about UV protection, but more...

Accessories I know... I understand that from Rockclimbing... it's primarily the winch that kinda bogged me but from the homework i've done and the common sense that goes with it... this is pretty much a "no brainer". Thanks! Now I hear that the life of the wire rope is longer than the life...

Okay, so this may also sound a bit dumb, which side does the clutch handle/planatery cover go on when looking at the vehicle from the front? Does the clutch go on the right side/driver side? Thanks so much guys! Again, I want to make sure I'm getting this right and that the majority of the...

I gotcha. But definitely to the +1 about getting the 6-year old to run the rope up the hill :) Having a stronger breaking strength is a +1 in my book. I was a rock climbing instructor so I understand being a little more aware of synthetic ropes frailties. I think I may upgrade my wire to...

Yeah dude... just sent you a PM

Yeah I've heard of the synthetic winch line, what are the advantages and disadvantages? How do I know when to replace it? I'm good with a wrench and a soldier gun, but learning the winch stuff isn't my knowledge yet... I'm planning to hit Overland Expo 2013 and specifically taking any winch...

Hmmm... Maybe I'll do a write up as I'm installing this ARB and M8000 Combo. THANKS to everyone that responded! It definitely solidified what I initially thought about the ARB Airlockers but wasn't completely sure until you each said something. I'm not planning any intentional rock crawling...

ThATS AWESOME! haha

Hey guys, so I couldn't figure out the difference between Air lockers and the factory lockers. What are the advantages? I've tried to search the forum but it didn't turn anything up for that. My '96 fj80 has factory lockers and since I'm dumping so much money into this build, I wanted to make...

Looks like those are both made by LRA (Long Range Automotive) from Australia. If memory serves, The main tank is 44 Gal and the Aux tank is 24 Gal. I have those both and they are the exact same size. It's definitely a 6-8 hour job and a lot of sweat to get installed.

I'm not sure if anyone posted it... but If they are Long Ranger tanks, A main Replacement tank is 38 US gal. and the Aux tank is 24 US gal. Making it a total of 62 gal on-board. I only know this because I'm planning to do the same thing and its' been a lot of research.

Hey Christian, This is your neighbor down 8 houses down with the black FZJ80. Good to see your photos from down south look awesome! I'd love so see more when you get back... yeah when DO YOU get back? Kevin
