Build Saudi 75 1 - Tilda Bogue Service Station

[DrRock]

The final ride home:
After Hell’s Revenge, we had some fun on Fins and Things

Bedrock, CO. The start of the Dolores Canyon on the way to Gateway, CO. Probably one of the best scenic roads in the US IMO. You’re welcome….

Last Taco truck access on the trip… This one was next level

A little thunderstorm dodging on the way to a friends house just outside Cincinnati OH.

Almost home….. Wohoo.

75 in the rear view…

Conclusions and thoughts: After ~14,000 miles, two SAS’s and a full re-paint on the 60, both trucks ran like Toyotas…. Had a minor clog in the HVAC on the 75 causing condensed water to fill, solved by putting the key up in the drain to remove 2 liters of water. The 60 needed its brakes bled in camp at SAS10. other than that, zero mechanical issues…. . These trucks are made to be driven, the 2F maybe burned 50ml of oil, for the whole trip, roughly the same consumption on the 1FZ.

I love what you do for me, Toyota!

Wow. Nice little adventure. Pretty sure I can see my pig behind your 60 in Kelly's shop. Hopefully mine will make it through those doors one day.

You are in good hands with Kelly. I looked at your 55 and there is a lot of work to do. Kelly and I were talking about it while at SAS, I’m looking forward to seeing the results.

Hello Ward, I’ve yet to find the speed alarm buzzer. I checked behind the instrument cluster, on the steering column etc and still can’t find it. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Headers haven’t had any impact on fuel economy but the performance improvement is around 8hp give or take. For me, the biggest advantage is no more exhaust leaks and a system that will last a while.

Sorry to say, my speed alarm question applies to both of my Saudi rigs - FZJ79 and UZJ100. Since the 100 arrived first, that was the first task and what I learned in that application is outlined in the attached PDF. I have not continued the serch for a solution as both rigs have received rubber overdrive upgrades which increased the effective trigger speed to over 75 mph for each vehicle.
Given my evenual move to a higher fifth gear ratio for each vehicle (further increasing the trigger speed by 14.86% for the truck's H150F) means the speed alarm will not kick in until almost 90 mph. I think that will resolve my alarm issue....eventually
Suggest that anyone sourcing a Saudi rig from @Meshal make a request for the nanny alarm be retired prior to export. I believe @wngrog has successfully retired the alarm in his 80 Series, but that was an add-on device, not part of the gauge cluster as in my 100 and perhaps 79.

The 75 has a buzzer under the steering column and behind the balls' AC vent. It has one of those two numbers
