Thanks for posting that picture.
I paid full dealership beans for my radiator. I wanted to stand at the parts counter and inspect it for damage while a person was standing there just in case.
I have nothing to ad regarding the turbo wear. Now that you've had an old louver out, and installed a new one what are your thoughts? I have many doubts that simply replacing the louver will stop whatever annoying leak I still have back there. (all new 3/4 window runs, gaskets and belt molding...
I doubt it, the last time I checked the 2 main overseas options, the louvers were like $60 something each. the only way state-side can beat that is for larger heavier items with less shipping costs. It's why my exhaust system is being cobbled together from 5 vendors.
Certain body panels...
I've had mine re-done, and they still leak. I sat on my ass regarding this issue all summer. I suspect it's the louvers with mine, and I have them in hand, but I still need to do a definitive leak test. There's a secondary part (duct) behind the louvers that I still don't fully understand...
Someone on here recently posted acquiring the trailer the po of their rig used to haul it. It was a single axle landscape/utility trailer. I was going to chime in with something regarding the inappropriateness of said trailer, but I left it alone. IMO any uhaul item I've had my hands on has...
You guys and your damned Blackstone reports. I'm getting subtle anxiety over here.
I agree 100 percent with your comments regarding rattle can work. All of my failures have been related to "pushing" recommended dry/cure times.
Sorry about your fender bender. I had a lady get scared after a...
I just picked mine up today as well. It was a chunk of change, but I got a lot of what would have been weekend burning tasks for me taken care of in one fell swoop. Now I need to get out into the woods.
I don't mind the "non-build" thread status. If the op has other "old" or special purpose rigs that are kept alive it just means he has the chops and/or cash to do it. I like hearing about the other things people on this thread drive when the cruiser is given a break. How many pictures do we...
Ha! I forgot you were diesel for a second and was wondering what all of these weird fuel system parts were that you were talking about.
If you have to work in driveway/outside, these things can be life savers...
