Just did a four day road trip to Oregon in the Cruiser. Cheers

Also check engine mounts

My original is over 8 years old and still works :cool: I think it would have lasted longer if I hadn't lift the key on for weeks while I was doing the wheel wells and let it go completely dead for weeks:confused: It runs my ARB fridge for days...

Those collection trays are fantastic under the filter, its weird how some vehicles got them and some didn’t. My FTE 100 series came factory with it yet my FTE 79 series didn’t. Naturally I ordered one and put it on haha

Front bumper is painted and back on. Hardware was hammered so got all new. I guess it's time for new Shocks, the bolts and washers were new before the last runs :rolleyes: The new .120 wall drive shaft seems to have held up well to abuse 💪...

That's a great point, but I already have a solution. Thermostatic bypass valve...

What you need is more horse power.

IIRC, the FSM tells you to remove that gear and then, after a series of other steps, tells you to put it back on again. There's no apparent reason to remove the gear (unless you're going deeper into the engine) so I didn't. They also don't do...

This thread absolutely rules, please keep posting the goods!

Here is same pics of the HDJ81. It being 24v starting system, full trim, auto trans, obviously a PDI intercooler and trans cooler added. I also deleted the ACSD so there was more in here when I started. It’s pretty full now as is with only...

I thought maybe this is a good comparison, different series of Cruisers (80 vs 75/78) and FT vs FTE. Here is a Troopy with FTE swap (wide nose) on 80-series chassis. Yes, fully custom but that’s my point here. We set this engine bay up for this...

I plan to leave well enough alone unless an issue occurs.

I'm Interested in a RHD non ABS assuming what you currently have doesn't fit since you wrote that.

The EGT needs to be pre-turbo to accurately monitor the exhaust gases to see what load the engine is under. They don't just break off.

1hz oilpan, 1hdft airbox lid, fuel lines, and a few others things. Probably pulling the diesel this weekend!

If you can get it in a garage for a date with an industrial sized dehumidifier, I would start there. edit: +large fans + pull out everything you possible can. get it all dry and then assess.

Non-EGR variant…cool. And clean. Since this is a non-EGR motor, I’m making the assumption it’s also not VNT - need to check on this when on get back in the garage. I continued capping off lines and pulled the valve cover to check on the state...

It went in before lunch today. Now just reinstalling everything. Cheers
