This was a track we cleared that had been blocked by MASSIVE trees and rubble since sep 09

Massive log came in the window, destroyed head lining, hit cage, snapped off and bent door frame and drivers mirror.

No road!

Sweet pictures adn trip, makes me wanna go to Tassie.

Hey don't suppose you have a picture of your front Diff ? I read somewhere the BJ 74's has a smaller unit in them than the BJ73's ?

I had a look at one the other day and it seemd to be factory re-inforced, it had a cable locker fitted .

 

[Hulsty]

BJ74/BJ73 diffs are the same unless they are late build once they went to high pinion fronts in 90 or 91, for some reason my mates BJ74 had a high pinion diff in it.

Early diffs are not laminated on the lower side, sometime around the later 80's they laminated the underside. I've seen this on FJ62's and a HJ75. None of my diffs have it though.

That trip to Tasmania looks like quite the adventure. If and when I win the lotto I will ship the the 74 and 61 down to where you guys are. LOL Those pics look sweet and some technical wheeling to boot. NICE!

Picked up the start of a intercooler setup today. Need to figure out how to fit a 290mm wide cooler core into a ~240mm gap.

Did you go water to air or air to air?
Whats the set-up?
Cant wait to see how it turns out.

Cheers.

Its a PWR Water to Air Barrel, I've been tossing up between the two types, this came up at a good price so I thought I would give it a go. Still need to get a pump and radiator for it.

 

[boogie74]

Great, it will probably be easier to fit under the bonnet and give better performance than an air to air. What size barrel. 4x10?

Sorry, 4X6. Didn't read the first post and the pics on this page took a while with the s*** internet connection I'm on right now.
