Its looking like a wet day down low, and a snowy one up high. The snow line was definitely below the ridge road today. I think I'm out for this year. Enjoy whatever adventure you guys get up to!
I should be able to make it. Likely playing catch-up as my boy has soccer that morning. I know the way, should catch up to the group just about in time for lunch ;)
This is why I won't do exhausts in anything but stainless. The steel stuff just doesn't last. And really the cost of doing full 304 stainless isn't really that much greater than steel.
Hi Jon, I believe we met at Cruise Moab on the Poison Spider trail a few years ago. Would be cool to see you again if you have a few minutes to pop by my shop in Chilliwack, BC. You'll nearly drive right by. PM me or email cruisinoffroad@shaw.ca if you'd like to connect and we can figure out...
Hi Angelo,
I have the return injector pipe, the turbo stay, glow plug connector and oil cooler. The turbo air inlet and mainfold are sold already. You can email the list to me at cruisinoffroad@shaw.ca and we can take it from there.
Funny, I missed this thread in 2015, but just read it all now.
Here's my perspective: I'm on my second HDJ81. My first one i had from 110,000km to 280,000km and almost 9 years. Lots of daily driving miles, but wheeling a weekend a month (if I'm lucky). Bought it because I wanted a diesel...
I use Mayfair Powder Coat in Yarrow for sand blasting and powder coating. I have also heard good things about that place beside Clearbrook Iron in Abbotsford (I think its called Midway?) Daryl had a frame blasted and painted there and it looks great and the price was quite reasonable.
I've decided to part the 1HD-T out. Here's a list of parts available, with prices.
Head - SOLD
Injectors - SOLD
Turbo: SOLD
Intake Manifold: SOLD
Crank: $400
Injection Pump: SOLD
Power Steering Pump: $200
Piston Cooling Jets: SOLD
Flex Plate: $100
Vacuum Pump: $200
Timing Gear/oil pump: SOLD...
Sad I missed it this year, but the way the snow was coming down in the eastern valley I'm not sad to have skipped out on the drive. Hope everybody had a great time, see you next year!
