Builds Build Thread - my Enola Gay FZJ80 1994

[Desert Dino]

Hilarious rig name. Was Jesus also in your crew?

Yap

Two technical issues
1. Need extra ventilation on the engine hood
2. Big lights like Hella 4000 in front of the radiator are a total no no

Now I am in Deep Mud. Someone ask me a question and there nothing I want more to answer, but then come another another guy (@TheRareElement and give me crap because its not technical and he is right too, so what to do?

I decided on compromise. I will do both

Yes, there is a lot of surfing in Israel meditarranean sea waves are not good Hwai





Technical:
I ordered on board water system 22 gallon baffled SS tank where the spare tire was SS discharge and filling ports on rear bumper.

Don't worry about him. He's only been here since late last year and obviously doesn't know how it goes around here. If we all had to stick to tech in this section it would almost be a barren wasteland.

Don't listen to those guys, plenty of room on this forum for fun and non tech info! It's your thread, you can put whatever you want.

You can put anything on this thread that you want the more pictures the better.

So I visited Enola today to see what's up?

The guy from the shop had questions about places for different items manly compressor and back Optima battery

The 22 gallon water tank was on the table it will be installed where the spare tire was equipped with electrical pump (baypassed and with pressurstat) and ports for filling and quick connection to a tap or a shower on the rear bumper

The back 2 drawers with top and bottom marine plywood

Sick pics. The 4000's in the front will make it hot. Ran the same setup.

Post some pics of the aux water tank once it's mounted.

I have dual 9" LED lights on mine that runs cool. But then again my radiator and fan clutch (modified) are only 2 years old, maybe that is why?

All my cooling system is new CSF 2517 radiator Aisin Water pump etc. I ordered a blue Aisin fan clutch and an engine temperature monitor i am going to run it unmodified and if it will need a boost then I will modify the old one

All depends on the ambient work temperature your Rig will work and added weight, rock claiming

I will have HID lights installed in the front bumper

Enola Gay was the name of the bomber (B-29) that dropped the "Little Boy" atomic bomb on Japan in WW II !

Funny name for a Japanese car.
