Bought it from Australia, here is the picture of the clutch you maybe familiar with it.
also because of yours and other suggestions i am not installing the intercooler at this time. i don't remember anyone on this forum that have done it on a 12ht, i am still interested on other experience about this, pls send me your comments, links and pictures, thanks.
I think it is the same Exedy Sports Tuff clutch as I have but they have changed the color of the box from pink to yellow .
Im sure you will be impressed once your leg muscle get bigger
How many passengers are you taking?
i know i am probably overbuilding, but i do have a heavy rig, beside i need a bigger leg muscle
We painted the firewall with marine grade paint, then after much research we decided on Second Skin for sound proofing and insulation. Thanks to Don Sambrook from Sound Deadener showdown Sound Deadener Showdown for leading us to Second Skin after reading Sound Deadener. Here is the product that we used Damplifier Pro then four coats of Firewall over Damplifier Pro. Here is the link to Second Skin Damplifier Pro - Acoustic Vibration Dampening Mat we want to give a shout out to Anthony from Second Skin for all his help and advices.
Tomorrow we begin the installation of the 12ht engine, enjoy .

is there a tire that is 35" in diameter and 10" wide on a 15" or a 16" diameter wheels (prefer 16") either All terrain or Mud terrain?
my other option is to replace my tires. i currently have goodyear 35" diameter and 12" wide. i like the 35" diameter but narrower tires.... happy thankgiving....
thanks soenke, i plan to open the back to the point where that panel that is part of the window is welded, that is much bigger than the window (will post pictures of that later).Hey rideglobally,
nice truck! J4 with 12-HT is a very nice set up!
How big you plan the accsess from cab to cabin? If you want to use the whole width between the round corner windows of the cab, you will need some kind of rubber awning, working like a concertinia to seal the accsess and to provide sufficient space for the walls to move offroad.
If you plan a smaller accsess, you have to close the window in the cabs back, weld a frame around the opening wich needs to be matching and parallel with the opening in the cabin in order to use the rubber-seal and profil as shown in the other thread.
A friend uses this rubberprofil for his HDJ79 cabin, works fine...
Depending where you go, 35" or 315/75R16 is common. 7.5R16 even more of course, but I think they don´t perform sufficiently on a heavy truck...
Alternativley go for 255/100, they are fantastic on dirt road, rocks etc but lack performence in the dunes...You will get them in most third world contries easier then 315, even though for easy replacement 7.5 would be the best choice
