10-4. I watched a second time with volume. They are clearly not being controlled from the stalk in the truck.

12mm fuel line all bent up, using stock mounts and it’s in the stock location.

Used the 1FZFE supply for our return line.

Now we just got to modify the pickup in the tank for 12mm.

Still doesn't sound as good with a straight pipe as the 1HDT

Some prefer blondes, some brunettes....I just happen to prefer 24 valves

Nice job, why can't you use the ft pickup, thought you had the ft truck for spare parts.

We are using an FZJ80 fuel tank. We are modifying the pickup to be 12mm.

I don’t think the HDJ pickup is 12mm either. So if we were using a HDJ tank it would still need to be modified. The donor Cruiser is in poor condition, I doubt the tank looks cery good inside. The FZJ tank we are using is super nice inside.

We ended up using very little parts from the HDJ80. Not a fan of used parts when new is available or easily fabbed and/or improved. The donor did its job. I was able to use the shifter console to scan and print the new one with a few modifications.

We are closing the shop early and going camping. Have a good weekend ya’ all.

The logo for Beaudesert is a crocodile. And they etch the logo into the exhaust.

IMHO the best made aftermarket exhausts available

I did not really understand why I needed to order some exhaust from Australia. Seemed a little overboard. But after Ian unboxed it yesterday I get it. Really appreciate the fine details.

Summer in Idaho = Florida cold start.

Boomer alert.

 

[scottryana]

Boomer alert.

How does the factual comment that May temps in Idaho are about the same as winter temps in Florida have anything to do with boomers?

 

[SteelHunterFJ80]

Good question @scottryana

No matter what the temperature this is a fantastic build
