Ontario BS Thread

I was having a hard time keeping up with everyone that was telling me to stop being cheap and do it right.



I read all your input, it helped in pushing me to just put it in the bumper.

One of the reasons I love you guys is you dont stop. If I am doing it wrong you tell me over and over and over. I really need that as I am stubborn to a point of no good.


I try real hard to listen to those who know wtf they are talking about, that was why I asked for assistance.

 

For shits and giggles I looked at hydraulic winches. Unfortunately adding a 3000-5000 psi hydraulic system to power it along with the control valves would be significantly more expensive than 0-ga cable. It's more appropriate for farm tractors and construction equipment that already has a hydraulic system for other functions.

 

Then I could run a snow plow, or bush hog, or core drill....endless possibilities with hydraulics

 

A friend of mine built a hydraulic which for his Land Rover. Its crazy powerful but cost a tonne, is very heavy and was expensive.

 

Awesome

Black n white action shot, ton of flex happening

 

There is a system you connect to the power steering pump lines which lets you use it as the pump for the winch.

No idea if it would work on a Tacoma's system though, and probably by the time you're done screwing around....

 

Thats just highway 400 on a friday afternoon in the summer

 

Oh No,

You're not accusing me of; knowing what I am talking about....
I won't take credit for that....

I just wanted credit for being an asshole and giving you a hard time... Don't worry I won't stop.

I have a quota you know.

 

Ranger Rope came in today!

Looks really well made, I'm impressed.

Forgot whom it was ,but thanks to the person here that suggested these guys...

Neat thing is these guys are based out of Markham Ontario...

They have synthetic shackles too, and greasable snatch blocks...

 

With a winch like that you go up a vertical rock face,,
no jeep required,
Maybe get in next years calendar

On 400 it's a daily routine...

 

Lol negative. My rig needs to lighten up if anything. Pto driven winches are pretty cool. Had one for logging. Was interesting and scary

 

High mounts are fucking incredible.

But $$$$ and maintenance

 

Lol with a winch like that you can bring the Jeep too, make it on two calender's!

 

If you look closely you can see one of my old Jeep CJ7’s in the background.

 

@Joe23 @daks I’m seeking wiring advice. Looking to add a 400W Power invertor and a

$241 CKSA12 Air Compressor Compact On-Board 12 Volts DC, Designed Exclusively for ARB Air Lockers Locking Differentials

CKSA12 ARB compressor (max draw rated 9amps) roughly 20ft away from the battery. Can you recommend a proper wire size for the circuit?

 

You sure the compressor only draws 9 amps? My twin draws 40 amps each compressor, 80 amps total.

also these charts are a good reference

 

As sure without actually measuring. I got the little compressor, not the highlighted one, smaller unit listed above it.

 

Lookin’ like roughly 45amps at 20feet, 4 or 6 ga.

Thanks @tacoma16
