Builds 1993 PZJ77 - The Evolution Continues

[ca18sean]

I’m hoping to get it back to my shop next week! Then bumpers and interior work! It’s looking really awesome.

Glad to See more fans of green trucks!

I did ceramic coating on my white hzj77 in hopes of getting a couple more years and it looks passable. Getting ready to do the interior in leather.

Finally moving into the cruiser barn this weekend. Got a nice spot picked out for the PZJ77 next to the other 6M1. Slowly but surely stacking them in.

More room over here for some more (could fit three but I do not really want to stack them in). I should have just built bigger because right now there are two cruisers that won’t make the cut.

Let's go fly fishing!

@digitalbuck just let me know. I just got back.

Maybe angle them in John? Generally that lets a guy squeeze more Cruisers into less space.

Cheers

I could definitely fit more. No question. I just do not want them so tight that I have to move several around just to get on out. Plus, I feel like it’s good for your mental state to let them go every now and then. But the 70 series stays for sure. Basically I have three eye-balled of which one of them will get to stay. Right now there is a clear favorite as two of the three have dead batteries.

Bump because....

Mmmmm @jmlockwood when do we get to know more

A couple of fun updates for this truck. It is finally out of the paint shop and back at @ca18sean’s shop. Time to get put back together.

I also took delivery of a brand new 1HDFTE long block for my 80 series swap project. The 1HDFT originally planned for that truck will get re-worked and placed into this truck.

John has talked about an FT swap into this truck from day one. He just never pulled the trigger on it until now.

We talked about putting the new engine in the 77 but he decided to put that in his 80. I don’t blame him, the 80 is super nice and is getting a ton of goodies.

We don’t know anything about the turbo on the other FT, the one going in the 77. What kind of boost it puts out or any of that. All we know is that it is supposed to be the goodies in Belgium, I think that is where this engine is from. I believe Joeri brought it in?

Cheers

 

[Indestructible 47]

its so easy to make power with the FTE..... this will be cool

 

[SNLC]

Well, this trucks future engine is on the stand.

It also got ran before being put there!



Cheers

The last time I drove this truck back from @SNLC shop it was SLOW going across Colorado. The 1PZ just would not make those mountain passes in anything other than second gear. I think the next trip back is going to be a little different.

Now I just need to talk @bottombracket out of one of the H151’s he is hoarding.
