Looks like a mini Flowmaster muffler. Buy one, paint it black and weld the ends up. lol

Yup, on all accounts. I'm sick of the South Island. Go for it.

I'd have gotten out and walked. People these days. Move North, it's better. Fewer people and the ones that live there aren't asking those sorts of questions. The South Island is a special breed.

I went back up to the family gold mine. This year I dragged the kid and SWMBO. No Sixty this trip, rolled in style like a true yuppie. The last time i was there was the 60's first big trip in 2011. Things have changed but not as much as I had thought.

It’s been a while… A sad day came when I lost one of the original M101 tires. I tried my best to find a replacement but was not successful. So I’ve purchased two new tires and would like to offer the remaining M101 tire to somebody that wants to keep their trailer original. From what I found...

The 12ht is basically a Japanese 6bt Cummins. Two of my favorites.

I have been absent for several pages ….. good work. I’m glad you saved the stripes. Your turbo should be just fine at 8 psi if you leave the stripes on. Too many people overlook stripes when sizing turbos. Also, blast some snot of some sort on the inside of those fender flare plug welds. 👍

Never would have guessed. Hahahahaha Seriously though, looks good. I saw all the same stuff in the three sd22 nissan diesels I took apart, albeit you have more sludge in there. I bet it relates to the lack of a stink pipe to atmosphere. Catch can and a new hamster wheel should cut down a lot...

Those tires sure tuck! Great to see you out exploring, it’s about all we can do these days. I get out every weekend but on 2 wheels not 4.

I’d have sworn that was an 1hz. Is it really a 5 cyl?

Saw this m101 today.... a cool $3500 price tag!

"Meh.... Truck is rough, we will just chop it in 1/2 and turn it into a trailer". 40 years later "That trailer is worth it just for the mint box".

Congrats, Must be nice to run the ol girl, after all, that time and work. I can't wait to see it, drink a pint or two and plaster a few Kermits.

I use the same as Jon, Pro form self etch (light coat) High build, let it cure, sand, Proform top coat.
