What did the postman bring today

Just got me some more winching power

I've often wondered what a full Jigglepin 8274 would be like on a Jimjam, you know, with the full 4 bowmotor 3's and gearsets on 24v.

It would make a winch challenge just that. You wouldn't need the engine to drive the car, just generate the elecetrickery to keep the batteries charged!

You certainly won't be stuck for long with those two motors to pull you out. What other bits have you done to the 8274 except the obligatory main shaft.

That certainly would be something
This adaptor I've bought came with Bowmotor 1's. The adaptor is originally made for twin XP's, but Gigglepin have made up an (additional) adaptor ring, so it also fits Bowmotor 1 and 2. Sadly not Bowmotor 3, as the armature is much much larger.

My 8274 is pretty much standard. Only fitted a Warn XP motor. So not even an uprated mainshaft yet. But this is certainly a must-have with this twin-motor adaptor.

I'm still not sure what to do with the motors. Either sell the XP motor I have, and keep the bow1's. Or sell the Bow1's and buy another XP motor. Here in Denmark, bowmotors are not very popular, so will not get a lot of money for the bow1's. So perhaps i'll keep them.

But upgrades for the future are 24v to the motors. I'm planning on a DIY turbo-controller. Also a Delta-tek freespool and probably the hellfire gearset, for a faster winch

Keeping existing locks just liked the idea of the key blanks so i can have key operation in the event of remote control failure and the remote and ign. key all 1 unit.

Looks like I'm ripping the front kingpin bearings out soon to fit these Courtesy of Jimnybits of course
Should sort out the wee wobble on the steering and stop that gloopy mess leaking out of the seals on the swivel hubs which would give the NCT test guys something to fail my wee jimny for when it's tested in the coming months.
NCT= Irelands version of the MOT.

Don't want to go nuts/offensively loud as I live in a rural area, but I do want something better than the horn already fitted as it sounds much like a dry fart :laugh:

Should sound a tad better!
