It's got the original 4 speed I believe and still going strong, except the CDL on the TC is not engaging - suspect vacuum line perhaps?.

I've also got an LT95a mated to a 0.996TC to go in, but am wandering if it's worth the effort of swapping. What are the benefits of the LT95a over the standard LT95?



Central Coast NSW near brunswick heads. Accidentaly found it on country post while googling isuzu rovers .



Will take plenty of pics on the weekend... , do you think I should pitch a tent up for extra effect!



Thanks Tony... it's OK externally, the chassis is amazingly rust free, and it comes with a few goodies hidden away (namely front and rear maxis, winch and long range tank under the tray)... might have been resprayed at some stage as the paint looks pretty good (or it could be that I washed it really well prior to handing it over to Autotrans).

Could be a bit better internally (the instrument cluster is loosely hanging on by 1 bolt) but at least I've got easy access to all the wiring Has a few things that need sorting out (few electrical gremlins, leaky power steering, 30degree steering wheel play, warn belts, rusty wheels and well worn tyres), but nothing major so far.

Impressed with the 4BD1 so far - it will quite happily run with a diesel leak out of the supply line (as I found out)

What turbo do you have on yours?... and how do you plan on sorting it out for more top end power?

Cheers

Few more pics I took on the weekend:

The Bullbar comes off:


Winch on my "workbench"...


... My "workbench"... Astroturf and all (no gnomes, unfortunately)


Evidence of power steering leak (through the box?) - beefed up diff housing in the background.


Engine bay


The wiring may need a bit of neatening up (if only for aesthetic reasons) - I'm not a big fan of the garden hose


Replaced fuel lines - I accidentally drove with a cracked one (one with the old hose clamps) for up to 350km, no problems (gotta love diesel)


Interior pic


Now that I've got the bullbar off and the winch out, I'd like to open it up check the internals and service if necessary, but don't know how. Are there any instructions on how to do this? (I found a thread on the subject by rangieman but couldn't find the tutorial - does anyone know if there's one floating around?)

Thanks all

Bojan

Gday mate

Nice looking Landy you have there ( x2 )

If thats a Warn winch, have a quick trip over to your ARB store. I went into mine in Launceston, told them the model and they photocopied a blow out plan of the innards. Showing part numbers and all

Or just go to this website Just found it

http://www.warn.com/truck/Replacemen...ementparts.jsp

Also there is this thread:

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-t...vice-warn.html

Good luck with it

... was surprised to find there's no brake inside!

Were only some Warn winches fitted with a brake, or is mine missing a vital component?



The winch has definately had water in it at some stage. The large ring gear has had a considerable amount of rusty gunk on the bottom side.



Not so much on the top


The rest of the gearset



They cleaned out quite well for the most part:

Large ring gear (worst part)


Planet gear


Larger sun / planet combo


Smaller sun / planet combo


Sun gear and smaller ring gear in housing

ould I be regreasing with wheel bearing grease, or should I be using something else?

Wheel bearing grease is satisfactory - they are not that demanding on grease, I don't think, although if you are planning to run it under water as the previous owner obviously has, perhaps marine grease might be better.

John

The brake should be inside the Drum. In those pictures you haven't got it apart far enough.

(If you knew that already and have fully stripped it - sorry!!)

Looks in good nick! I would be using copious quantities of marine grease - best at preventing corrosion and resisting water washout.

E.g. Shell Nautilus, Castrol Boating Grease, etc, etc...

As a side point, the more grease you put in, the harder it will be to freespool the cable......
