Is the grey powder coat an original look? It looks sharp. I think mine is zinc plated...

Power Steering Reservoir Top Decal

Should only take ten minutes
Hi Damien,
My first impression was the material is a bit thin, but seems sturdy. The stitch and fitment is great and tilt mechanism is positive. I have ordered some seat covers that will go over them before I do any KMs. Only time will tell for me although there has been some positive comments on some Facebook groups.
I'll PM you about the other stuff.

Thanks, the zinc was looking pretty bad before the powder. I like gray because leaks are more obvious.
Thanks! Could be useful.
Turbo, locking differential, and on-board air go into the BJ70 tomorrow.
Where is the turbo set-up from? What turbo are you using? Very cool.
From Turbo-Glide in Australia. It's a great looking setup and doesn't cover the oil filler cap like some other turbos. $1800 USD after conversion.

At the bottom, there's a link for "Kit only" which takes the installation fees off.
More on the turbo, now that it's mounted. Finishing up the exhaust. Decide to put a WRX intercooler and WRX exhaust into it as well, but that's not right away. Gotta get the stainless and figure out how to mount the intercooler in a smart location.

Does anyone have a fur person that doesn't know what a drive-thru is?? LOL!
Took it for a quick spin with the 'new' 14BT, wow. Can't wait to go out for a longer drive. Still need to get the exhaust done and a few other things prior to that.
Small steps this weekend, welded in the doubler plates behind the T-slots I've cut into the wings of the Kaymar from my BJ74. Need some work with the die-grinder and a hand file to finish them up, but pretty happy with how it has come out. Once I sort out nicer mounting for the trailer plug and somewhere for the 50a anderson connector, then I'll get the whole thing re-powdercoated.
Also extended my exhaust with a downwards swept tip, as the exhaust shop made it very short and finishing underneath the body. Hopefully now I won't keep covering my right rear corner in diesel soot.

What size feed and return lines are you using? Are you using a restrictor of any sort?

Went to the Fall Crawl event last weekend to rep the 70 series. Sadly didn't get allot of pictures or videos. In this one you can hear the rear tires rubbing the rear fender wells.
Excellent work. I really like seeing a 77 in action. Looked like you maintained good traction on the off camber bit. How'd that section feel by the seat of the pants? Looked planted to the ground

Got power steering all sorted. I used an aluminum colored paint to spray the steering shaft; I wish I hadn't.
I need to re-install the inner fender well then re-attach all ancillary gizmos like vacuum reservoirs.

Built a storage box for the back. Going to cover it in Grey like the interior and have flaps on the sides to cover the gaps so it looks flush and doesn't immediately give away that it's got a box.
Added 24V Vaiair Medium Duty compressor, tank, and gauge.
