I bolted black 79 belts in a 1990. I did have to trim the pillar mount a little.

Cheers

Exactly what I did as well.

Hope you park in a secure area.

Brakes still getting hot So more fiddling.

We have a nice straight road going up the hill side and has a about half mile of fairly steep incline; 50mph (speed limit) 5th gear and egt’s of just under 800F and 10ish psi boost, water 182F. At the end turn right and another short section climb of similar grade; speed 45mph (speed limit), egt just over 700F, 5th gear, boost about 8ish. psi. Once I get the brakes squared away I will go on a long trip that has a nice long hill climb.

Found my BJ70 glove box door Now I have the transfer case shift instructions sticker and the proper door catch. It’s even a door lock one, but no keys, oh well.

Finally the correct hood latch

I would have never thought about that needing to be different.... oh, the little things.

The rear breather barb has been bent since I have had the ute. I tried searching for a replacement a while ago but could not find one. So I left it alone. Today I was replacing the differential fluids and when I opened the fill plug there was pressure in the diff. So I tried to straighten it gently just a little and snap. So now what? I had a brass barb in the tool box so I drilled the head and tapped as low as I dared to without removing the head. Then installed the new barb. Not perfect but I hope it holds. If anyone knows of a available replacement I sure would like to pick one up. This part is not like the others I have seen over the years.

I would just put a bolt there and tap a breather anywhere else on the tube.

I’ll have to remember that if it failes

I’d try to solder the brass barb in place.

Is that OEM? Parts diagrams don't show anything like that assembly but I might not have found the right diagram yet. I just have a single screwed fitting with a barb.

I don’t know if it’s somehow market specific. I think my BJ70 I had like your picture

One of the things on the to do list was figuring out how to mount the side steps on the shortened 79 bed. I think I came up with a suitable method. Hang an L bracket down from the bed to where the other mount would need to be bolted to.

Another box of goodies came in. Now I can wash my windshield.
