Thread: Some advice on wiring etc on 4wd vehicle

The easiest way to sort your light drama is 2 spotties

Yea it's auto and has diff lock, has the 4H, 4H centre diff lock, and 4L centre diff lock and then rear diff lock on a button. I was under the impression that it's been "converted" to run two batteries rather than factory as all the relays etc in the truck are aftermarket units so seems like someone's done quite a bit of work in that regard but could be wrong if it was an option on some of them. I had a short wheelbase one when I was a young fella and it only had one battery

Yeah I reckon your right probably put in to run the winch as that will drain one real quick.

nz ones had one battery but every japper i have seen have 2. They are nearly unstoppable in Lo range with rear diff lock on and auto is even better. I have even seen them fitted with small tractor tyres (off road use only)
Mine is SWB and the only fault I can find is dog has to sit on the deer on way home (I permanantly removed the rear seats in mine) I would buy another in a heartbeat
