Being cold in a dry shop beats working outside in the rain on a gravel driveway any day.
or in the dirt.
Nice shop and nice collection of trucks!
@bcsteel I've got a 75 series, yep rhd. imported it last year from aus, my friend brought over his hz105 aswell, then we split shipping on a 40ft. Tons of bs to get them here, but all worked out
We got to talk...nice truck.
Thanks been collecting for a few years
Thanks, Sounds good!
Thanks man!
I have one of the swapped ones! Somebody smashed into my HJ61 a week or so ago and one of the things I need to fix her up is new fender flares. Is there a place to buy aftermarket ones?!Cool, so that makes at least three LHD swapped 61's in BC.
I still have the rear flares from mine, they aren't great but they're free.
I've almost tossed them a couple times but I hate throwing away cruiser s***.
I sent my old rear ones to @HJbreit
I'll be welding the holes shut for mine as well once I have a bodywork fest when the weather dries up a bit.
I've seen flares for 60 series that are more of a flexible rubber than those factory fbg ones. Not sure if they cover as much body or where to get them. Probably one of the big aftermarket parts places?

anyome looked into borgwarner turbos? I’m going to dig in. Will post findings if anyone is interested ?
If I remember the Toyota and my GTurbo are both water and oil cooled. These seem to be just
oil cooled. Or am I missing something. Or does it matter? I don’t know, TBH.

I have one on my 3b. No complaints. Yes not a water warmer, Just oil lubricated. Big in Europe, Australia and Asia, just not as well known in North America. Probably for all same reasons we missed out on other vehicle options.Borg Warner S252 SX-E 52/61 12709095019

The main difference on the non water cooled units is you need to let your engine idle for a bit before shutting it off. The harder it was just run, the longer you need to idle. Up to a couple minutes.
If you don't cool it down properly, the oil will coke in the journal and wear it out much faster.
Water cooled ones this is not as big a deal, but still good practice to give proper cool down time.

I like the idle down always do even on my NA bj60, good for the head as well.

That's a really good point about the head too.
Last couple km of my drives I pretty much treat as idle down.
Also a bonus of a manual driveway gate, gives a little time to idle down and cool.
Not that my 12ht ever puts out much for egts.
As for BorgWarner, certainly heard the name often enough, I think they make a lot of marine transmissions.
I'd be interested to see what you dig up. Although my internal debate about keeping 2 cruisers is ramping up again....
