It’s mostly together ready for driving. Just need to finish the interior electrical. Need a wash. In front of the ARB car oppressor goes the CC servo from an 80 series.
Having a blast at Solid Axle Summit with some good friends , I do need to figure out where to send my invoice to for fumigating the mountains around Ouray 🤣
Used my the 8274 to pull out a horse trough I buried about 10 years ago. It was a planter to contain bamboo that only survived a few years. It was pulling the truck, with three wheels blocked. Initially tried 'lifting' it with the snatch block...
Did that. Used OEM female pins and crimped them. Used crazy glue on the gap between the male pins and the plastic of the connector otherwise the epoxy creeps in before curing and locks the switch.
couple of thing... Custom snorkel and installing the electrical on the EATON F/R lockers. I replaced the bulky, messy wiring with a 3 relay block (2 will serve the lockers and 1 the lights) and adding the OEM switches with potted connected...

Custom snorkel time. 3” stainless for the FT to get fresh air. Took awhile to mark a cut the holes in the fender. I ended up 3D printing parts of the snorkel so I can trim them to mark the body.
Otherwise, I would have recommended to built in the back 'habitat' instead of storage. Similar to what most people build in the troopy of what CampTeq offers. It's a different experience.
Strictly speaking this is not something I did to my diesel today, but....
This is my 94 troopy. It came with a 1FZ-F (4.5 liter carburated). The engine was running ok and I've done water pump and gotten a new carburetor, but this truck really...
About to install new fenders this weekend.
Been working on the galley. Countertop, built in fridge and fitting it into the back. My wife and I compromised on a 8” wide hanging cabinet for jackets. Also a pull out platform using one of the...
No sure if its 70 build. More like kitchen cabinet. Been working on the ‘built in’ National Luna fridge and countertop. I want the counter to be an integral part of the fridge top so when it’s closed we have a semi continuous surface. Routed...
