Got the compressor inlet and outlet in place for the FTE turbo, putting each in good position for the front mount intercooler. All pipes sealed with blue tape immediately after the photo op. -

Ended up next to an Inferno 2022 TRD PRO Tundra in the parking lot today. I had been seeing them for awhile now but never parked next to one until now.

Georg, glad that one was. Today I cleaned up the fuel tanks and skid plates and got the rear subtank mounted. The front (main) tank has some interference on the frame because I don’t have the correct 80 series frame mounts shimmed up to correct...

I was by myself but I had an hour’s worth of time. I was able to easily get the drivetrain in place- it took less than 15 minutes in the air to slide it home. Everything lined up. I might need to modify the right frame to motor mount to...

We got the motor together (new injector lines are on the way) and linked up the new h151 and the HF1A rebuilt by @orangefj45.

Here’s an example of medium term followup on vapor honing durability: When Roma rebuilt my 12HT, he vapor honed everything. I didn’t send the crossover pipes with the long block, so they are 33-year-old dirty. Every other aluminum piece was...

Then we kicked things into high gear. @AlbertoSD got more done on this motor in 8 hours that I had in 2 years! Surround yourself with genius friends and magic happens. Part number photo dump coming, be warned.

Installed an electronic transmission park brake, mainly due to the factory setup no longer working very well after doing a rear coil conversion which puts the cable off to the LHS rear wheel and makes it a pain to set up

CuznBob’s Motorcycles in Austin vapor honed my parts in 24 hours. AWESOME. They are as good as new or as close as you can get. The sticker on the intake got torn up…whatever shall I do??? Total cost: $90. DUDE. They are about to get a LOT of...

We had a little meet & greet last night as well. Grilled brats, drank beer & talked cruisers. Two J7s present, lots of wagons, I remember when the 'club' was mostly 40's and one or two wagons, numbers have flipped.

I have also got my 1/2” supply and 3/8” return fuel line tubing as well as some super sexxxxy Notchead line clamps, and a bender and straightener set. All on the good advice of @c2dfj45 who never leads one astray. Dang those clamps are nice.

Took the 73 out for the annual Seattle Cruiserheads BBQ. Good turn out from all the other series (must have been 20+ in total), but I was the only 70 there.
