I spot a McNamara/Terrain Tamer gear. Nice work! -Alberto

Thanks! That is quite a compliment and I appreciate it!! I am glad you are enjoying the read. I work VERY slow as you might have noticed :poof:

Good work, Ofer!!!!

Thanks!! Hope you enjoy following along :)

And installed a couple of cool decals on the truck. One of them is a NISSAN locker warning decal. I think it fits well, minus the language about the ABS not working :doh: The second one I saw on another 40-series a long time ago and then I found it on Amazon. I had one of these on my HDJ80...

Now onto the locker switch itself. Again, I wanted something clean and factory looking. I decided to use an early metal dash-type 70-series locker pod and switch (same as the 80-series locker dial switch) to trigger the lockers. I had to move over the hand-throttle cable but I think it looks...

So a few things got done while I had the center piece "semi-out". I installed a simple USB-B and USB-C charging port. I wanted one without any LED indicators or and lights at all. Plain and simple to match the simplicity of the 40. This piece is made of aluminum and seems to match the style...

I miss you, too, mi hermano!!!!!!! No mileage to report yet. I have a punch list of things to finish before I take it to the exhaust shop. The list is not THAT long, but it all needs done. Will provide some numbers once I get it on the road for good :cool:

A very wise man once told me: "Every diesel engine should be turbo and intercooled. -JimC" @FJ40Jim Furthermore, I think it is imperative to have gauges to see what your engine is doing. I believe all diesel-powered vehicles should have exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and Boost gauges, at the...

I bought a piece of rubber to cover the snorkel hose, but it was temporarily tied to the heater hose. So I made a little bracket using two of the mounting locations where a vacuum tube was mounted and space it out and give it two support points: You might also have noticed that I...

Now to figure out the hose routing. Safari/ARB supplies this really long hose to go from the left side to the right side and plumb the snorkel like on the diagram below: You might remember that we used a 70-series air cleaner and I purposedly pointed the air intake side to the left side, to...

I know that this might not be everybody's cup of tea, but it is mine :poof: I had bought a Safari snorkel from a fellow MUD member in the Colorado Springs area. The name is escaping me, but will try to update that later, too. I have always loved the look of the 40-series with the Safari...

I also filled the cooling system with the proper Toyota coolant and a new radiator cap since it was supposed to get really cold here. Also, my great friend Peter @peterb gave me a Factory roll bar which I wanted to use on this. Somebody had cut the seatbelt bracket from the lower section so...

A lot of time has passed since the last update on this post, but no major progress to report. I noticed that once we got the engine running, the oil pressure gauge was not reporting any readings. I remember when the truck had the 3B, the oil pressure gauge worked (as shown on the picture...

Good work as always, Chris! Watching this and looking forward to updates
