my HJ60 revival (build?) (1 Viewer)

Ho no it wasnt from factory ... when I bought the truck engine was blown ... and the one I bought was from a manual. So I just switched the pumps with the complete mounting plate on the correct gear timing ... Started right away and since I had nothing to check it more accuratly at the time I just neglected and ran like that.

Since everybody keep telling how slow these engines are... I didnt mind much.

Glad I did tho

Neato.. now I'm keen on this piezo electric timing light.. they are hell expensive. I do have a Tiny Tach piezo electric pickup - maybe I could Macgyver something up!

Im sure it can be done , there is a 9v battery in the module to make the pulse in the wire where you clamp the timing light .

You must find a way to make the sigal to pulse in the wire then you get an easy way to accuretly check your timing

Finally decided to pull the trigger on a set of OME leaf springs and shocks ... my hardware and shackes are not even a year old so I will just buy new bushing and install it

Meanwhile I ve been working a little more on my rear bumper ... removed the Old hitch from the frame. It wasnt functional anyway .

Planning on doing the wiring for a dual plug 7 and 4 ways ... just in case.

Driver side swing out is getting there , probably done by tonight

The 74 corolla is now sold too... so more room in the garage. Definetly gonna miss that little demon ... But im in peace with the sale and the truck is much more practical .

Goodbye little Corolla , have a good retirement to Hawaii , you made incredibles memories to me and my kids

You've done a great job on that rear bar/carrier. Well done!

Thanks !! Maybe I will make a swing out ladder on the other side

Still need to paint these bumpers .... The rattle can job is already giving up

Went on a fishing trip with my daughter the truck ran flawlessly except the fan exploded ... No overheating issues on the way back at least .

Still waiting for the suspension to get here I'm getting excited .

Also got me a roof rack from a Land Rover , need modifications but that's not a big concern. Just not sure how wide I want it .

Anyway here's some pictures
