    Builds Another Prado in Montana

    On my ALH I had 520 race nozzles, which in the end, I think they were a little rich. So the .260 may be perfect. I ran the BV43 turbo for a while and then upgraded the center section from the UK(used unit) to a BV43a. All while running a Malone tune. Not gonna lie, it was an awesome setup. A...

    Builds Meet Ivy, 1976 FJ40 w/VW TDI, 2.8 CRD, OM606

    Thanks to @DangerNoodle for giving me some mounting ideas on how to mount it, I made some mounts with some rubber isolators. I really struggled with how to get this cooling stack to fit in the small space on a 40!!! This is not the final setup, this is just version 2....

    I have had problems over the years of temps climbing up when any motor is tuned up. So this time I wanted to make sure I fitted a large radiator to give myself more cooling capability!! With the 60 power steering I had to keep the downflow radiator. This thing is massive. Clears the frame by...

    Removal was the easy part. The car came from Denver, CO. It was a Scotland Embassy car. Kinda cool. I kept the emblem. lol.

    Been a while since I updated... I need to get some stuff caught up. I was running into some electrical problem with the 2.8L VM and a friend had grenaded his 2.8 in his Jeep Liberty, so I pulled it out and sold it to him.....

    Builds Project Pikachu: 1977 FJ40

    I am sure others can relate as well. But, if that Jeep was red I would have said you took it from my scrapbook. My grandfather was stationed in Guam in WW2 and now our daughter just got stationed there. I don't remember where he got the military CJ-2A but, it was the first vehicle I learned to...

    Builds Lynchburg Lemonade, matzell's STW

    You are making me think I should sell the hardtop(s) I just bought to do a 10 in stretch and just by one like you did and stretch the body and frame 4 more inches!!! That looks like a lot less work than stretching the top!! Looks awesome!!
