    75 vs 78? -- 70-series vs 80-series?

    gonna have to go by personal choice and budget, how much you shall wrench. Personally I like old stuff, I tend to swim against the tide which is not recommendable. Very wary of anything electrical and in the process of eliminating as much electrical from my 2h, put a wilson switch and want...

    jeez! over $100k, thats usd too I suppose. Gosh we are lucky for lc's in Oz. Whilst I am sure I would enjoy a worked more modern lc, I do recall towing 1 1/2 t in a v8 cruiser uphill at 150km/h which was impressive, (I wasn't driving). The newer stuff is just out of my budget overall for...

    That's what I wanted to hear! There are a few folks making 2h aftermarket stuff, but some things like valve train rods are not obtainable. I guess parts are available to some degree as long as there is a market. I do really like the timing cogs on the 2h, they have to last a long time. My...

    interesting that you would go for the h15#. And if a customer wanted something with minimal to no electrics, indirect injection for ease of biodiesel use (direct injection can be succesful with bio but often more problematic I believe). What would you recommend?

    ahh sorry, my mistake and my learning. Muddling the hd-fte and hd-ft. Are the injectors on the hd-ft electric? The hd-ft is direct injection isn't it.? I should just research it by myself, but, maybe good things to discuss upon this build for some general education for an ignoramus like me...

    I don't want to poo the hd as I am 100% certain it is excellent, but the injectors are electric. To service hd injectors cost 600 each, for a 2h $100 aud each in comparison..not that the 2h is a comparable engine to the hd. https://hdautomotive.com.au/product/new-1hd-fte-high-flow-injectors/...

    I prefer simple easy to clean rims. Not too keen on splits personally, they can be dangerous reassembling, and they can pop from fine dust ingress, I have experienced in the desert. But they are for the true remote location enthusiast for sure. I don't mind paying the tyre shop to put them...

    be tricky to eliminate electrics from the hd, but if you can afford to pay someone good, it would be a dream realm, I shall never have the pleasure to visit! I daresay I couldn't afford to keep my troopy if I didn't do the work myself. Always carry tools, feel naked and unguarded without...

    personally I like the hj75 1 I have 1 and a half hj75 troopies 2 prefer leaf springs 3 prefer the more utilitarian design 4 in my eyes, easier to work on and repair 5 usually solid colour single paint, no gloss 6 love the layout versatility of the troopy, camping, lugging stuff or carry 10...
