Yes. Used a Kubota 12v tractor alternator. Works great to charge the 12v lithium battery. It's somewhere here Builds - Portland Troopy Build in the build thread.
Hey Pete, it's Rodney. We met down at the garage a few days ago. I'd be very happy for you to drive the troopy, get it up to temp and see what it sounds like warmed up. Just let me know.
I read where you're "COMPLETELY out of budget" with the build. Good one.........
That one was mine. Sold to Arcteryx on Mud. I think it was pretty much a perfect setup for a 40. I would have put it in mine but the 2f has always been a very solid engine. The 5 speed would have been "really" nice. But.....I have a Troopy project going already and don't need another one...
Bought a troopy and removed/sold the 3Bi. Went in with the 1HDT as I wanted more power and didn't want to turbo any engine that didn't come from Toyota that way.
Following the recommendations from others on Mud the BEB's were serviced, cold start removed, timing belt changed, rebuilt injectors...
Thanks Rosco. I'll post a final pic but this thing has cleaned up so well it looks almost brand new. Finishing up the turbo rebuild and then into the troopy.
Hi Rosco. Thanks for the comment. The injectors and pump are already being checked. New water pump installed. Starter and alternator sent to the shop for work through. Cold start removed. Looking for a flywheel right now. BEB's , timing belt, tensioner replaced.
Mauricio, the 3FE and H55 are...
Bringing this back to life. Been sitting on the 1HDT until I decided which way to go. I have bought a Troopy and the 1HDT will be going in next month.
I will have a low mileage 3bii with it's H55 transmission for sale.
Great is in "quotations" because I have complete confidence in his abilities after doing business with him for 15 years. That is why I consider him to be "great."
