Spent a few hours this morning converting a new gearbox to a shorter input shaft. The bearings have let go in my transfer case so I sound like a plane taking off at road speeds. Needs a clutch also so figured I’d do the bit in the middle new also so new running gear for the old horse. Can’t have...

I’m sure that’s all mine probably needed also, but figured while I had it out I’d do everything. It was all pretty cost effective compared to a new denso one or even a refurbished one.

I just pulled the airbox out, was only 3 bolts and a couple of hose clamps. Then I had all the room in the world haha, would be tight otherwise. So could imagine the frustration

Alternator decided to quit the other week so ordered all the bits to rebuild it. Should be good for another 20 years. Back together in time for a cracking sunrise.

Some new door cards for the hdj just in time for a bit of a wintery blast, couldn’t find a set the same as was on it, but the vinyl will be easier to clean anyway

Power windows or I have central locking connectors etc down in my footwell also?

So a hzj79 res would be an option for mine then since I have the 3rd forward facing bolt position 🤔 will have to see if I can track one of them down

Is that an oem power steering reservoir? Bracket looks a little different to the one on my 79. Mine is forever weeping, can only seem to find new 100 series style ones here in NZ. You’re racing along with the progress looks great 👌🏻

What a fantastic invention EGR was 🙄 been “disabled” since I’ve had this thing but high time I cleaned everything up from before my time and set some valve clearances etc while I was in there.

Good question, not a problem for me as I have no rear heat not even a rear backseat 😂 but you’re correct there’s no allowances for rear heat at least not in the one I put in. Yes it’s fantastic really makes me wonder what my elbows been doing all these years 😂 I know they’re working on a new...

Cruiser consoles out of QLD Australia is who made that one

Very simple 5 minute 4 screw modification this morning. Chucked in a new half length center console, super nice fit. Should’ve brought one years ago

Really been enjoying the progress so far, your diagram will also be helpful as I’m about to throw some new injector lines on mine haha. I haven’t read through the early pages yet, but I’m sure it’s been mentioned by others but if you need any pictures or diagrams etc for locations of items etc...

The majority of 79 series if not all of them come into NZ as a cab chassis so naturally a tray/deck is always made to put on them. The flat deck setups are very common in NZ and also aus. Very versatile and great for work
