Finally flew out to seattle and picked up my 1994 KZJ71. It has a factory winch, rear locker, manual aisin hubs, and is absolutely mint. While here in seattle the first mods were a 3" exhaust with a 3" downpipe from Kaiapoi repowers in NZ and a redarc combination boost/EGT/water temp gauge. EGTs are measured with a probe in the EGR blanking plate. The EGR proved a real ball ache to remove, first I rounded the nuts on the exhaust side, then couldnt get the EGR pipe out with the hard heater lines right behind it. My buddy ended up taking an air chisel to it.
Got a dobinsons 2.5" lift coming, but their container got held up so that will wait until I get back to NY, along with 33x10.5x15 tires. Next up is to drive this thing 3,000 miles home.
