Long time cummin! The day is finally here, I drove the big blue beastie off the lot at LCNW after almost 3 years into this project...... I've been without internet for a couple weeks trying to get this thing running, a bunch of hold ups, the main one being a rusty diesel tank. I got word...

Update: A day away, will have pics tomorrow, its pretty nasty out here today..... Were waiting on the alternator, PITA i tell you, for some reason the voltage regulator doesn't hookup properly, we may end up just using a chevy one wire. ANy ideas from the 4bt crowd? It may have something to...

Should be next week, Camera was lost in a move.

cool thanks

Cruisin the Badlands!

::UPDATE:: I just stopped by LNCW to see the big blue beastie......major progress! We've got new LCNW fab'd Motor Mounts, Sliders and they found an Intercooler that should work! I'll have pics soon. Man can't believe its been over two years!

it seems to fluctuate between just below the low hash mark and close to the bottom of the guage. I'm pretty sure I have a rear main seal leak, threw some lucas oil stop leak in and its been much better. I'll know more by the end of the week.

post em up!

AJAEBJ42, very cool thanks!! Clint, the big blue beastie is still at LCNW. progress is being made but Tims work has been tough to correct, most if not all of his welds missed and had to be ground down and welded properly. Winters comibg so i needed something to getup the mountain!

the oil pressure reads really low, oil is fine, temp is fine any idea why it would be so low?

well new to me anyhow. 1986 HJ60 338Km Shackle Lift 33' BFG's Rear locker Mint, It was owned by a fellow mudder, spent most of its life in Victoria, so the rust was minimal, wheel wells solid inside, frame repaired. Only rust is on the outside of the rear fenders easy cut out! Pristine...

i had a volvo intercooler to put in but it wouldn't fit, so we just ran the intake through the grill to put one in later, still trying to find a good one that will fit. Any ideas??

*****UPDATE FINALLY!!!**** Long winter waiting, but work is happening!! Body panels removed and replaced:: The Oil Pan has been cut and Patched properly too, no pics of that yet. soon.. Springtime Cruisin!!!

UPdate::: After a long hiatus, the big blue beastie is back on the rack!! Matt and Tony at LCNW pulled that nasty looking oil pan, cut and re-welded a proper fit to bypass the driveline, will have pics soon. They straightened the frame where the semi crushed it at the spring hangars and...

There's a bunch of 80 series diesels on CL and they get the HJ70 series troopies too!! But whats the legal side?? I could see driving one back to the west coast no sweat, or having it shipped.

Anyone have experience importing a diesel from Costa Rica?? Is it still the 25 year rule??

I would call Wanye at Carco, he'd give you the digs on border crossings for parts. I think if you were going to trailer it, you might as well get it shipped. I don't think you'd be able to drive it even if it is for parts, unless you get some Canadian to take a sweet GA vacation! Check...

We didn't have to give this much notice, but it is the border and things are tighter now, and they can hassle you for anything.
