Hi All,
Whelp, I just got a HDJ81 and for me, it's a first for LCs and diesels. It's stock as of now, but I'm looking to make a list of the changes I'd like to make. I'd like to take care of important things first and it's been suggested I get an EGT gauge/pyrometer to monitor those temps and avoid overheating. Sounds reasonable to me. Is there any other things that I should do first to help the reliability/safety of the engine and/or drivetrain before I get into non-essential things like roof racks and sleeping platforms?
I'm pouring over all sorts of info and falling into a bit of a rabbit hole. Snorkels, boost gauges, roof racks, tires, 24v->12v conversions...
I really appreciate any tips and am stoked to start this journey.
