Que onda loco !!!

Well interesting proyect .. what kind of engine do you have in your plans . ?
 
sweet for a junkyard find, i'm jealous, you should see what we have to start with here, they get so toasted in the mines up in Canada, and troopies aren't even available. i too would love a troopy converted into a camper, they do a lot of that down under. that conversion you show a pic of, was that done by a company down your way?

started to fix up an ex-Canadian-mine '95 HZJ75, got the shell of a clean jap spec'd BJ74 for $2000 and used those doors and front clip and it was a nice start (also gonna use the seats even though they are the wrong color). this was a great way to go, a buddy used to tear things down for a living and he took the front clip off in one piece and it went on in one piece in like 45 minutes.

got a new windshield frame and glass, but need to do the rockers as they are seriously rotted out but that place in edmonton has new rockers for pretty cheap if i remember correctly, and need start thinking about a bed of some sort (does spector still have that used factory one?). then there is still wanting a new suspension, lockers, turbo, the usual....

problem now is someone went and got knocked up with twins so money will be ever so short from now on and it is hard to put four into the cab of an HZJ75 so we got an '06 taco double cab trd which has been really nice actually so far even for wheeling with the way we have it built now, kind of getting spoiled with air, electric locker, power everything, etc.... this is how resto projects end up on the back burner :(

How much boost it can produce . ?
 
Boost

Well, my problem is the altitude. Sometimes I drive above the 5.000 meters and the engine looses a lot of power, the engine smokes a lot! and going down... lot of white somoke. Is a typical problem of non diesel TLC engines....even new ones.
