Jan,
The truck looks fantanstic. I remember being at surf-n-turf two years ago and you were still in the planning stages- the truck has come a loooong way. Curious, how much boost are you pushing, and what are you egt's like?

Jan I like your panels.

I just put FJ62 inertia reels in my BJ60. I now need to make the panels. So yours gives me ideas.

How did you attach the reels? I welded a 3/16 plate on the bottom spot and used a 1/4 bar for in behind with bolts welded to it to act as studs. I will try to post up tonight.

Also how come you never used the clips that come on the belt assembly that hold the belt closer to the wall?

I post the pic later...

I am running 10 psi max, and never see egts higher than 1100 (post turbo).
thanks!

I cut out the opening with a saw, drilled holes, and then bolted them in without welding. the metal seemed way thick enough. The threaded holes in the C pillar were there.
I did not use the clips, since they did not come with the 62 belt set I got off ebay...

cheers,

Hey Jan..................

the search continues...............


BTW......................very VERY nice rig!

Nice Job!

Like a pit in the southern solution, could be a death trap if a tremmor hits, or a large industrial fan would not work well in the winter unless it was hooks to a gas heater
Michael

actually...
heat rises so a pit in the south would be of great advantage and a hoist in the north would mean warm feet in the winter...

Came across this thread in a search for factory converter. I can't see any pictures though!! Even the link doesn't work anymore. Is there someplace I can view these pixes?
