I think I used an older model with a JD-5 brake system or something

Here is the ice chest mount and the wiring for David

David,
basically,
the driver side engine harness holds the headlights, turn signals, horn, rock light, line lock, reverse switch, and oil pressure sensor

The passenger side engine harness has that side's rock light, fan switch, temp sender, air compressor switch, fan power, and the front Hella lights

The rear driver side harness has the rear lights, fuel pump, fuel sender, rear rock lights, speakers, overhead light, VSS sender, radio, and radio antenna

You really need to see it to understand all of it...

the large cables on the frame are for the winch.
The major grounds go from the battery to the passenger side block (under oil pan) and then from the block to the passenger side frame under the engine mount.

Holy Crap - I just put this all in the wrong thread...

When you get a minute, can you school me on your steering setup? Only found one mention of it in here and no pictures, and pirate doesn't have much info that I've found, it's all hydro assist stuff.

It's just a full hydro system using a single ended ram. I did it the same way on Lynda's.

Step 1: Call PSC or whomever and tell them that you need everything for a full hydro set up - with X engine and X tires, trail use only.

Step 2: install all of the stuff they send:
- high flow pump
- resevoir
- ram with mounts, mount one side to the axle and the other to the tie-rod
- orbital valve. this is what your steering column goes into to tell the fluid which side of the ram to go to.

Step 3: run all of the hose, fill with synthetic fluid, and your on the road

I figured you might have pieced something together. I'm looking at drilling out the stock pump and going with a surplus center ram and whoever has the orbital.

Thanks!

the more it's pieced together, the crappier it will work

Experience? What did the PSC set up run you? $1200 or so?

yes - but with TRE's, tube for the tie rod, and inserts for the TRE's. I got everything from them with one call...

[redcagepatrol]

So - I need a new winch, but I want to buy one that will work in a future tube chassis. I want a Warn to match the majority of other folks.

what should I get?
I was thinking about getting the XD9000i but I think that the integrated solinoids (and the winch itself) might be too big for a tube buggy.

I could get the M8000 (the same one that I have) but worried that it's too "old" for me...

Also thinking about the 9.0Rc because it already comes with synthetic rope. A little worried about the 50' cable though (but think that I could always use a strap when needed for the extra length)

[AggieTJ2007]

9.0 RC would work good plus I think you can buy synthetic extension pieces to hook together.

also
this winch , warn 9.5xp is newer and would mount the same as the m8000
