HJ75 Summers in TN Winter in Baja and So Cal

Thanks for all your help.. quick update new Pre-CUPs arrived.. took about 10 days from Queensland and 14 from South Australia.. I ended up buying two sets .. just incase one got stuck in shipping.. head is going back tomorrow .. If anyone needs Pre cups i now have spares in California

Thank you.. Looks like it is just the PRE-CUP's so now i am on the hunt for them .. Issue is the big provider in Australia is in Melbourne and just told me that shipments to the US can take 2 months ... I think my wife Cadillac will be missing an engine if I have to wait 2 months.

Hi Mud dwellers ... I need advice .. My HJ75 Overlanding rig is in pieces with a bad head gasket ... 2H - is it just the PreCUP I have noticed slight fractures ... Is this a big issue .. Is this fixable I only run this around 4 - 6 PSI so i don't put much boast through it.. I am trying to...

I am running knock off cheap ones in my work truck.. (Sorry not LC) $25 buck each at eBay - lasted 8 months before water got into one but still work. I have to setup a 12vlt regular bulb in engine bay as the LED blinkers did not draw enough power so they flashed super fast..

that is nice looking work.. I have done a few of mine and I cant remember ever taking that degree of care... I clean them up replace the seals grease the bearings use factory shims make sure hey are not nochy and then pump the centers full of molly grease normally at least two big tubes...

I no longer buy gaskets for oil pans.... I just get a tube of "Right Stuff" - for Oil Applications All three of my Toyota Land cruisers have zero oil leaks now. Easier and it works so well.

thanks everybody ... gone in hours..

I threw out the factory seats and went with something a bit more comfortable.. I used a marine UV Resistant Vinyl, Fabed up some metal door skins with built in cup holders.. Ford EcoLine Seats integrated seat belts & Arm Rests .. Custom Door skins .. I really like my Diamond design..

Yes however i can not get a magnet to stick to anything above the rail, I pulled a bunch of foam out form the inside, not bondo but expansion foam .. As I can not get replacement rail, I will be stripping it down and repairing..
