Do you mind sharing a pin, I'm trying to get to as many of these cool places before they are deactivated. Luckily crossed Rady off my list.

I ordered genuine from Japan and it ended up being cheaper shipped with duties included than sourcing a new one locally, so that's also a possibility.

Interesting, I have had the opposite experience with Amayama, it's my main source for parts. Hasn't been too bad with wait times. And I agree that Amayama usually has the better availability. I use Partsouq and Yoshi Parts occasionally too, but have yet to try Megazip. Radd Cruisers out of...

Agree with @Felde, it really is a 'while you're in there' type of job, which will require more parts than your mechanic stated. It's straightforward but messy, so like @Guyute mentioned make sure you have lots of paper towels on hand and then add a few more if you decide to tackle it. In...

Curious how much these kits run

welcome, how many kilometers on the bj75??

Yea that's ultimate efficiency. Wiring would be cheap as hell and easy to handle. Going from 4-6 gauge to maybe 10-12 gauge for long runs. However, going 48v makes the whole system a bit larger, all appliance or things you would use off the system are either 12v or 24v, so that's extra...

Yea thats the one.

Grille could also be a new one from a company in Japan that makes retro iterations to fit the more modern 70s. I have a link to their site somewhere.

Have you been through the Whipsaw while you're up here in BC?

The rear quarter has pop-out windows that can be opened outwards on the horizontal, not vertically like side windows. There is an over-centre latch that keeps them either in the closed or open position. You can take a look at my profile picture, it shows how they look when open.

These examples look immaculate. Are they as pristine mechanically as they look usually?

What is the capacity of the PTO, never really looked into them? If the current setup works for your needs then no point spending money that could be used elsewhere.💰 And here I am running a 12 to 24 converter as I'm building my house battery side as 24v. 😄

I don't know the specific specs but I figure a higher output alternator would push more amperage at the same given RPM. I suppose if you do a lot of slow driving between camp sites and what not then maybe it is worth the investment. I've looked into the biggest solar panel you can fit on an...
