My HJ60, TDIC on 35's (1 Viewer)

It's looking good.
To me it always seems like you can clean these trucks forever and still find more to do.

Aaaand i pulled the PTO box and all the pto driveshaft pieces of it. Just made sense.

Posting the pix as i have not seen that many pix of it here on mud.

True... fun thing about cleaning off oily and greasy mud, it that it's not rotted out underneath

But this time the cleaning stopped where it did because its not stayig there for long.
something else is going on... and it ends on F. ;p

Hi Pal

I am still planning a wta intercooler, but i have to do the body first and put my own bumpers on it and some other goodies i developed.
It will stand out in a crowd, i will post pictures when i start building.

Niice, Niels! Do you have any size estimates for the wta cooler?
I guess it needs to be huuge... top mounted... where do you put the separate radiator for it? or will it run on liquid nitrogen?

Looking forward to your build, doing something else right now?
Keep me posted.

got it out for a test drive. runs smooth with the new 12ht clutch.
Just a tad stiffer pedal, but adjusted both the pedal and the slave to FSM specs so it got less floppy.

anyway, it's been in the garage for quite some time now, and i left it with the handbrake pulled FULL on... so thats whats cracking in the video, had to use 2LO to get it out. I did the video for my own reference on smoke with only one functioning glow plug. its been sitting for 10 weeks or so. Liight up!

oh, and its filmed with my new gopro hd hero 2. sweet sucker, but not great in low light.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Nice man, she started right up! Feels good to get her out of the garage I'm sure.

 

[TLC Norway]

Soo true! Now i gotta find time to do the front axle, then the 5spd and transfer mod.

 

[TLC Norway]

So, i've redone the front axle, with marlin seals, 30 dirties, and a longfield long spline inner.
But i've got the wrong 30spline inner axle for the short side, i'ts the same length as my mini truck short side inner.
But cable locker works great, just have to be careful until i get the right inner axle.

Now i just gotta rig up the light for engaged locker, and make a small skid under the locker machanism, it's it's placed at a scary spot. Just have to figure out something smart, since i dont want ice or mud staying on the skid, messing up the linkages to the locker.
and i cant fully capsule it, beause i wanna be able to access it if something happens.

And i've got my speedo cable adapter, 10% overdrive, so the speedo should be correct once i mount it.

 

[TLC Norway]

Got most things buttoned up in the front.
A little vid of the cable linkage and GO! engaged light:



Had to grind down the 7mm socket head on the studs to get the nuts to clear. ARP.

Lifetime wiper seals was tight to get on, but seems to seal well. Bolted with rock rings.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Those do not look like my ARP hub studs. Where'd you get them?

 

[TLC Norway]

theese are branded TG from Davez Offroad Performance.
Been really happy with him, his workers really know how to ship a package. they fitted a whole order in a box for the inner axle.

The studs are neither like my buddys. I will have to check them out....

I wanna see more Go Pro Video's. My buddy just got one for his track riding. I want one really bad. It looks super awesome.

Nice work on the cable locker set-up. I like the custom "GO!"

 

[brokenparts]

that linkage is freakin cool. Good work.

 

[TLC Norway]

Thanks, guys! It's flawless, only thing i can imagine is branches ripping the wires off the sensor, but thats why i made the connections there, they would give first.
With a small skid under the axle, it should be bulletproof.

Soo, i'm playing around with timelapses using the gopro.
Here is a few easy samples:

 

[OrygunCruiser]

Dude, effing amazing videos and pics! not to mention a kick ass LC, keep up the amazing work, your rig is an inspiration to all of us

 

[TLC Norway]

Great, Orygun! I find all my inspiration here on mud, so i might as well contribute with what i do.

Now, last night i hit a moose crossing the road. i managed to steer out and only hit its rear leg.
Went into a slide, going into a big ditch with trees. Lucky for me most of the trees just bent over, but hanged my rig in there pretty good. no tire traction, so had to winch myself forward 40 meters.
got up and out, just cracked the marker light, and a shock blew out hitting the bottom of the ditch.
My bumper saved my front from beeing wrecked.

 

[StevoJonesFJ60]

Glad to hear you are ok. I'm glad all I need to worry about hitting are deer.
A moose sounds like it could do some damage.

 

[TLC Norway]

yup, it would definately total my rig, they are way to tall and heavy to stop with a bumper.
Most people get them flying in the front window.
Saved both my rig and the moose by going into that ditch.
but i dont think the stock bumper would hold up to the moose or the trees going in 80 km/h, super glad i got this bumper on!

 

[klinetime574]

Nice vids!

Did I see you actually passed a few people

Sorry to hear about the Moose.
