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

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.

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.

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...
The Kroil watches over the engine bay with a slightly menacing stance.
To finish the evening, I hung the manifold and torqued everything into place. Oil lines and exhaust tomorrow.
Overall, it was a really productive day.
Interestingly, G turbo ships their turbos without a wastegate actuator hose and clamps.
I had OEM on the shelf… But my darn hose was too short. Don’t read into that.
There are 1 million choices for high temp silicone hose on Amazon. I rolled...
My good friend @Workhorse cut me out some beefy EGR delete plates. I will drill and tap them for an EGT probe later. Yes, I know it’s not in the center of the manifold but it should be good enough.
@OGBeno I confess my sins. I am using some...
