I had to order some extra piping to go from the 80 mm/3.25 inch airbox lid to the 3.5 inch G turbo. The factory OEM tubes size down to 2.5 inches which just didn’t make sense. Clamps, piping, and couplers are on the way, as well as a bead roller.

In classic fashion, I lost the injection line hold down clamps. Stedman for the win again.

Picked up my kids from the camp in Estes. My oldest got a little time driving the 74. I’m shuttling kids to Boulder and then heading to Ouray.

Supplies have been acquired. Spent the evening with @Workhorse amd Mrs. Workhorse, and after burgers and beers, I’m gonna just wing it and fix it tomorrow when I’m in Estes Park with my kids.

I forgot to mention before I went to Silverton, I converted my Warn M12 to Synthetic using 7/16" Amstell Blue winch line with a Factor 55 Ultimate Tow hook Photo on top of Hurricane pass I also went through my Recovery kit and updated it...

After taking care of the 100K Maintenance items, I decided it was time to give the outside some attention. I had pinstriping down both sides that wouldnt come out with cleaning and wax. I discussed the full process and what I used in this...

Pedal assembly is showing the same part number: 78010-60010 throughout the entire run of the HDJ100/101 for auto and manual iterations. Only difference in part number is whether it's a RHD pedal or a LHD pedal.

Drove around with the problem for a long time. It was a valve in the pump.

Glad to help and am looking forward to seeing this in person once completed.

Hey Mud - I just picked up a new project. The truck started life as an 1986 HJ61 in NZ. It received a 1HD-T + 4speed auto swap before making the journey over to the US in the late 00's. A tree fell on it and the PO did a body swap with an '89...

Tonight I finished bolting up the exhaust manifold/turbo, turbo oil lines, and got the 3 inch exhaust laid out. Relevant part numbers for turbo oil union, gaskets, and exhaust cushion attached. Nate would like to go to bed. PDI intercooler...

Tiny steps tonight. I installed a remote lock/unlock unit made by Trail Teq in Australia. As this is a euro spec HDJ80 with no RS 000, there was nothing to disable. Literally just pull apart the door panel, plug and play. This is really well...

It is looking great so far bud. I can't wait to see it roar to life. ;-)

Not yet…exhaust and intercooler soon

@bottombracket Is this bugger burning diesel yet? I want to hear your impressions since it was stock to present. ;)

I wonder why the grid heater didn’t work? At least, living in Texas, I don’t need to worry about it. I could pirate one off of an FTE that is sitting here, but I think I’m just going to gut it and use it as a static spacer, which the...
