I am amazed at how close that Monstaliner color matches mustard yellow. I think you have helped me find the solution to my multi-color problem! Did you roll it or spray it?

When monstaliner sent me the sample and I held it against the ambulance stores that I bought which were in the original factory mustard color I too was amazed how close it was. I rolled it. When I did it it was during the summer and it cured very fast. I think doing it in cooler weather would alleviate that.

Anyone know where I can get seat brackets for Bestop seats that fit my FJ40 (1982). I emailed CCOT and they only sell the brackets with the seats. I guess they do not need the money.

Yea, I do not have any seat brackets. I started to make a set but though if I can get a set and modify them, I would be hours ahead.
Nice work on the oil cooler, where'd you pick that up?
Would it work for P/S cooler? Or too much overkill?

I got the oil cooler kit at Mercedes 4x4. Already has AN fittings welded in on it. You can get the same cooler with hose fittings on it just about any parts store. That is what I'm running on my rock crawler for a transmission cooler.

Well I woke today to found out it was a holiday and I had the day off. When I told my wife this she said well I'll make you breakfast and then you can work on the cruiser all day. I love my wife!
So I got all the electrical work done. All I need to do is buy a battery. I also got the specific vacuum lines routed. The first picture is a vacuum cut off switch that hooks into the injector pump. The second one is the starter solenoid I used for my glow plug relay .

Ok, now that the temperature is 100 outside, let's get wrenching. Since I like gauges with numbers in them I ordered a water temperature gauge. The threads in the head are 14 mm by 1.5 so I also got an adapter that took it to 1/8 ntp for the sender. I was then going to change the oil filter and add oil in but the oil filter I bought did not have all of the O-rings in it. So I got on the phone and ordered one at my local Advanced Auto Parts.

This has been saving my ass all day as I assemble things back together.
If I ever lost my set like that I would be screwed! It never leaves my project cart.

I'm not really sure. It's out of an 1984 MB. Looking at Mercedes-Benz OM617 - Wikipedia it does not help much. My plans are to get it running and rework it with a different turbo and stuff.
I'm following DVP7070's build thread The Mule: My OM617 swap and other improvements and plan to go 4.88s since I'm on 35s.
Of course, I'll get this all done in time yank it all out and put this in: Repower - Brand New Consumer Crate Engines - Cummins Engines

Oh, and yes. My power steering hose threads matched the threads on the Mercedes Benz power steering pump. Definitely divine intervention!

Got everything filled and connected to get ready to start it. After trying to get it to start, it will turn over but not start.
I have:
I have:
- All GPs getting 12v, turned them on for 30sec before starting.
- Fresh fuel
- Primed fuel multiple times
I don't know much about the MB engines but I had that issue on my Ford 7.3 and it was the fuel solenoid that went south.
