Hauge's J4 Garage

[Hauge]

a closer look at the turbo and a friend came by so I could have a closer look at his install

 

[Hauge]

I realized my ideer of building a pipe manifold failed...

 

[Hauge]

Now I'm thinking about turning the original manifold up side down and make a pipe to the turbo

 

[Hauge]

Sump is being prepared for oil return from the turbo

 

[Hauge]

If we're not working on the J4 we spend time Overlanding
We had a classic race / overlanding

 

[Hauge]

As our first overlanding was on the ground with a rookie mistake of having the tent opening towards east... hit at the summer time sun sets around 4 o'clock Nevertheless we had a blast and agreeded to find a roof top tent

No it's not on the transfer case, my hand brake in in the drums on the rear axel. Please see the drawing, the clank and lever is for the hand brake

I was answering a general question someone else asked if you had a hand brake on your transfer case. Obviously being a five speed it wouldn't. 8/80+ all shift and mid wheel base 40 series had the hand brake on the rear axle.

So is Denmark different than other countries in Europe that are making it very expensive to drive an early diesel? Seen a number of HJ61s being parted out because they can no longer afford the fees to register them. Full floating rear axle and cable lockers were never sold in the US making if more desirable to part them out.

Back to the Cruiser started up on the body work since I was stalled a bit on the turbo project. My CCOT front needed minor adjustment to fit the grill

Hood repair

Proof of it is a long haul project, junior is growing 8 years between the pictures

 

[Hauge]

Lead filling of hood repair (my first lead filling)

 

[Hauge]

The daily drive needed a light upgrade to accommodate the dark roads in Denmark A Lazer Lamp Linear Elite 18 was mounted

Test of Laser Lampe Linear 18

I wasn't aware my OEM light was as poor as it was!

 

[Hauge]

A box of good stuff arrived from Belgium, and since I started the rust repair work on the body, I think it is time to do the mounting holes for the snorkel

Junior put the snorkel on the TLC to see if it looked cool... it was approved by the chief

 

[Hauge]

Window frame was the next step, it was in worth condition than I thought...

 

[Hauge]

First repair, I borrowed a shrink / stretch tool... what an awesome tool

 

[Hauge]

A bit of fun from another forum during all this rust work

 

[Hauge]

Window frame, next hole

 

[Hauge]

Going to the next level for this season of overlanding, installing a refrigerator in the daily drive. I wanted something which was easy to remove, so I made in 2 modules.

Started out with a CAD profile (Cardboard Adaptive Design)

 

[Hauge]

Modul 1 on it's way

Adding lashing points, we don't wan't the refrigerator to fall out of the car full of beers, when it is pulled out
