First of all thanks for posting! I was wiring mine up in the living room watching this on RUclips. I used soapy water to get those terminal boots too easily move into position.
Hi..glad you found the video useful...i don't think my Mrs would let me wire mine up in the living room lol.
@@All4Overland oh, my Defender was my divorce present! I’m having an extended cable set custom made with 3/0 gauge. 400 amp fuse. My buddy is a sparky.
Well that explains the living room then..it sounds like a nice wiring setup!
Great viewing, as usual, the Landy front looking good
Hi Carlos...glad you enjoyed the episode and she is looking good now if i do say so myself..regards Paul
Nice sturdy winch and bumper which matches in with the grill so well. 👍🏽😎
Hi Gavin..it really does match in with the front grill quite nicely....regards Paul
great video gives me something to go by when i get round to fitting a winch to my 4wd
Hi Mark...glad you found the episode useful..regards Paul
@@All4Overland i did paul ive found alot of your videos very useful look forward to seeing and learning a few more things from in your videos
Nice looking bumper sets it all off....Winch with the LED's good idea! That Paul...👌
Hi Rob..The terrafirma bumper does really set off the front nicely...and the LED's to let you know that the winch is powered up is a cracking idea...it was nice to catch up with you over the weekend..see you soon...regards Paul
It was good to see you both at the Overland show...👍🍻
I bought the same winch and bumper (none air con) 3 years ago, both have held up really well, the bumper still looks like new despite mine living outside, well made bit of kit, reasonably priced as well, Terrafirma also make a number plate bracket that allows the plate to be mounted on top of the bumper on the drivers side. Wish my OME dampers had been as well finished, they went rusty after 12 months!
Hi andicog...the bumper seems to be really well made and well finished and i have heard nothing but good things about the winch and like you say its really well priced..regards Paul
Thanks for this. I have no idea how I’d have fitted my winch without it. Regards to Beryl & Ted.
Hi Mark...glad the video was some help to you as thats what we aim to do on the channel...Beryl & Ted say you are most welcome lol..regards Paul
Nice job. I bought and fitted a Bearmach one a few years ago to my 110, surprisingly similar! (Probably the Chinese factory next door). I had to change the hook for a black one though.
Same with the cables, ended up making my own extensions and running everything through split convoluted tubing. Put my isolator in exactly the same spot too and from the back, I do need some extra terminal boots though, good idea.
Can't wait to see you test it out 👍🏼
Hi David...i wouldn't be surprised if they weren't made in the same factory but the bumper does seem quite good quality and everyone i have spoken to rates the winch as a good one..and funny enough i will be changing the hook on the winch line but to a red one and rubber boots on the terminals are a definate must and i am glad you are enjoying the build series...stay tuned for the next episode...regards Paul
just found your new channel, great to see you back.
Hi RFGalmeida...glad you found the new channel there is a few episodes for you to catch so please make sure you are subscribed and share to help grow the channel...regards Paul
I guess this was filmed a week or so ago, so, hope you made the show, winch and all !!
Hi Stephen...we did not make the show in Beryl as there are still alot of small jobs to do...we did get there in Heimdall and had a brilliant weekend in the wind and rain...regards Paul
@@All4Overland well you still made it ,and had a good weekend, weathers been a bugger though 👍
Hi Paul great video for an isolator I used a starter solenoid for extra gadget factor 😀 Dale
Hi Dale...thats not like you at all to fit extra gadgets lol...regards Paul
10.00 I think maybe they did this so they wouldn't rattle loose maybe ...like the oval nut's you can get
Hi..no i think they were just poorly made as once you had them in place you would never have got the nuts started and plus as when they are tensioned up they would never move..
How coincidental that we were talking about winches. Wilfred_the_110 needs one now I 🤔
Hi Dan...yes Wilf will defo need a winch now otherwise he will start feeling left out lol...regards Paul
Nice new intro ❤️
Hi there North west 4x4...glad you enjoyed the new intro mate..regards Paul
@@All4Overland just finished watching the full video. Grate video mate. Got the same winch on my D1 and it’s been brilliant
I always forget what they’re call too
Its called getting older and brain fog mate..
I have the same winch waiting to go into my 92 110. I was planning on adding a fuse on the jumper in the battery box. Seems like it should have one?
I can definately recommend the winch as it seems to be very good..if you were thinking of putting a fuse in it would have to be a really big one as these winches draw alot of power...you would be much better off just putting a winch isolator in as it will give you less trouble.
What model of terrafirma bumper did you fit?, I see you didn't have to trim the grille, but do you have air conditioning?
Hi Cody Star...the winch bumper is a terrafirma commercial bumper and its the Aircon model and i do have the aircon grille as well but with this bumper there is no need to cut any of the grille out...Beryl does not have aircon but i do have an oversized intercooler mounted behind the grille hence the aircon front end..regards Paul
Couldn’t you have connected to starter motor connections?Beryl looks. Brilliant
Hi barry...yes u could connect to the starter motor but with Beryl having the 300tdi conversion the cables would run very very close to the starter motor and it would make them difficult to secure and plus if you did that you could not put an isolater in as easily as i did connecting them to the batteries...and thanks for the compliment...regards Paul
Beryl is coming along nicely. A lot of work but it’s piece of mind when you’re on a trip knowing everything has been gone over and checked, repaired or upgraded. Quick question, what is the rubber floor matting and seat box covers/insulation? Is it an Exmoor product? Looks pretty good and original.
Hi Carlton...yes it is an Exmoor trim floor mat set and Beryl is coming along nicely..regards Paul
Hi Guys, i have the same bumper and TS9500 on my Defender. Are the fittings the same as the standard Defender bumper? As i’m looking to fit a steering guard. Thankyou
Hi firefoxfreeman...as far as i know the fittings are all the same as we fitted a standard defender steering guard in conjunction with this bumper with no issues..regards Paul
@@All4Overland thanks matey, I’m preety sure that’s the case too. Just ordered the guard.
Looks a great bumper that be interested to see how the powder coating holds up over time I’ve heard Terrafirma’s coatings let their products down. 🤞🏻 this lasts for you
Had the same bumper for 3 years, I did brush clear waxoil onto the back and into the winch tray, have to say it's still just about as new, mine lives outside in all weather's as well, really well made and finished, I can recommend the bumper and the winch but buy a cover to keep the weather off the winch.
Hi Gordon...i have heard mixed reports about Terrafirmas finishing on some of their products like the shock absorbsors going rusty and peeling in under 12 months but i have got a set on my other truck that have been on for 3+ years and still look like new but i did treat them with lanoguard on a cloth when they were new so maybe that has helped to preserve the coating...and before Beryl leaves the workshop she will be getting a full lanoguard treatment..regards Paul
which route did you run the winch cable ?
Hi itoland....i ran the winch cables from the battery box along the top of the passenger side chassis rail behind the front crossmember and up to the winch...regards Paul
Thx, what was the load rating for the cut off switch?
180amp heavy duty battery cut off switch
Is there a grommet on the battery box/seat tub to run the cables through? Cheers mate.
Great video, I’m going to purchase the same kit for my defender. Which supplier did you use for the bumper, winch and extension leads? Thanks Nick
Hi Nick...the bumper, winch and extension leads came from Maltingsoffroad...regards Paul
Paul, thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Cheers Nick
Paul, sorry to be a pain but would you have to hand the part numbers for the bumper, longer leads and the cut off switch. Thanks Nick
