I know.
But try comparing specs to a standard goodwinch TDS 9.5.
The tds winch is almost as fast under load and faster no load. And that only with a 5hp motor and a much higher ratio.

Well done on the result :)
What do you mean by having the front axle sleeved?

ended up by buying a cv kit - rob was busy, zanfi.it stopped responding to emails after 1st one.

another competition down - broke rear ring/pinion, lost rear brakes
7th place ( 3rd by points - estonians sort by completed events first and only then by points. lost one event while changing rear diff )

need to find 4.3 rear ring and pinion ( currently wrong one inside )

ressurecting thread :)

* floating rear axle with jimny's brakes and samurai handbrake on cardanshaft
* broken countless rear halfshafts
* replaced with Redacted 's halfshafts - holding so far
* moved winch from rear to front ( it still fitted into that bumper ) - competition rules changed
* spare wheel inside cabin
