This 2H seems to be off its nut!!
This is the culmination of a 3.5yr build of an HJ60. It's an amalgamation of about 5 different vehicles. The engine is from a rusted out beachside 60 series that I think had about 250,000klms on it. No turbo fitted, but It genuinely feels like its turboed...
The project car got a fridge as its centre console today. For Australian people this is the Jaycar Brass Monkey Centre Console Fridge. No doubt it comes out of a chinese factory and is sold around the world under a variety of names.
Here's a few photos if anyone else is going to do it. I wasnt...
I need to make some decisions on dealing with the pokeout from -44 rims to keep our local constabulary happy.
I have a set of factory flares that need some work but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the look. Am also considering some generic flare rubber.. what other options are there and what have...
Does anyone know if the clips that hold the inner weatherstrip trim (inside the door, alongside the glass) changed at some point.. I am getting conflicting information .. there's a plastic clip and a steel clip. Is it possible that when the model update was done (square double headlights etc)...
Has anyone got a 52201-35021 handy? Its an upper radiator support panel rubber mount .. just looking for a height and diameter measurement of the rubber upper cushion.. a photo would be great as well.. any help much appreciated!
I'm a little into this project.. but I'm going to start a blog for this build anyhow.. I'll post some older photos and then bring it up to date.
In October 2020 I was very fortunate to be offered a rust free HJ60 cab - I dont take the phrase "rust free" lightly, it genuinely has ZERO rust after...
Is anyone able to definitively identify the four ports on this 60 series proportioning valve?
A - not labelled (possibly Front out?)
B - FM ? (Front in?)
C - RW (Rear out?)
D - RM (Rear in?)
My HJ47 took itself off on a little adventure while I was at work yesterday. The starter engaged of its own accord and it drove itself over to the neighbors front yard and lodged itself in his Mandarin Tree. No real damage other than a broken spotlight and a burnt out starter cable.
Diagnosis...
I picked up a rust free cab a couple of years ago.. then found a registerable, rolling, chassis about a year ago. I finally married the two up on the weekend. I have a spare 2H engine and H55F and I think I have all the parts required to mostly complete this. 3" lift already installed. I am not...
Does anyone with a B or H engine with a factory stop cable happen to have a photo of the business end of the cable (at the injector pump)? Keen to see what the factory setup looked like.
I am fixing my Daughter's HDJ80 after a minor bingle. It doesnt look that bad from the photo, but the inner guard, outer guard, bonnet (hood) and radiator support are all munted.. The strip down is finished.. Second hand panels about to go back on..
I've been chasing less than ideal steering in my 60 for a few weeks. It was very prone to wander and tram-track. A lot of very overdue maintenance and one quite serious failure. I've had this vehicle about 18months and finally found the time to make it right.
On initial inspection I found the...
I've had to replace the left hand side guard on my HJ47 Troopy and given the level of patina the vehicle has I was quite concerned the new guard was going to look out of place and stupid. So far I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I've used a matt enamel paint applied with a high density foam...
