Amazing What One Can Buy With a Case of Beer!

View attachment 1120772 I want to know more about the Cruiser that's following you.

The hood of the truck is from one of, if not the, cleanest HJ75 pickups in civilian hands in the states. With a fire breathing 2H-TI

View attachment 1120834 GLTHFJ60 ...... I can't wait to see a 13B-T, never seen one in person before.

Sam's 13B-T

That would be pre-snorkel and pre-injector pump / injector rebuild ....

Congrats Sam, it's awesome! Where'd you get it? You're going to really enjoy that turbo!

There is a strong hint in the fact that someone else posted a picture of "my" 13B-T

 

[elkaholic]

I will be getting a few more pictures tomorrow ... It barely fits in the garage ...

Sorry, I'm a little slow! Thought it looked familiar! Why was he following you so closely? Hope it wasn't sellers remorse

 

[fourtrax]

Awesome, Just plan AWESOME.

I was taking it gently out of the area where I picked it up. My trailer was as wide as the driveway. That picture was taken where I had to turn left onto a 5 lane highway and obviously I had just removed my foot from the brakes since the trailer lights are dark .....

I posted here first since the PO has only slightly lifted the information embargo

Congrats, Sam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad that super clean BJ74 stayed in the family

Keep us posted on the updates you will do to it, though we both know the PO took VERY good care of it

I know I promised more pictures today, but it simply aint happening.

Got a matching spare and did my penance at the DMV. They did not even blink at the BC assigned VIN, though they were curious as to why I crossed out miles and wrote kilometers on the SC required bill of sale ...

The 33 inch spare will not fit on the carrier ... looks like I am going to have to cut off the existing bolts and install three more about an inch higher .... perhaps I can garner some spot welding help from some of my ONSC brothers ... I don't have any outlets in my garage that'll run my old 110V MIG machine ....

So I take the weekend off and everything goes pear shaped.

I wondered why Charles washed it......

Congratulations (I guess) good luck with RHD (hehehehe)

 

[elkaholic]

The windshield is very clean ...

The windshield is very clean ...

When that diesel wears out, there is room for a Vortec.

I'll just buy Terrain Tamer 13B-T parts ....

Nope, we just roll the coal

Hey Sam @elkaholic,

@perrobravo just flipped his spare tire carrier and it cleared the 33's (no welding required). See post #48 of the following link:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/righty-moves-to-san-diego.840721/page-3

I know the spare tire flip works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. But, it is worth a try, 4 bolts out and 4 bolts in!

Hope this works for you!

NICE WORK SAM.



See you at the meet.
