Quick update, more to follow:
Lowenbrau and I installed the turbo and the resulting increase in power kinda made me forget the lack of power pre-turbo. The consensus was that the newly rebuilt and very tight engine needed to "break in". What better way to do that then a quick 4000km trip to Moab and back. I installed the air compressor and hooked up the front locker on site at Slickrock and went wheeling. Love the locker in the front even though it makes steering nearly impossible on the high traction rock surface down there.
The 4:1 gears are also very nice. The only time they are not low enough is when I was dropping off of a ledge or into a hole and riding the brakes to ease down without smashing my ass-end on the rocks. Never stalled once climbing. We did Steel Bender, Rusty Nail, Hells Gate/revenge and Moab Rim among others.
Not all was rosy though as I did break the rear left side glass and left vent window on a rock out at BFE. Minimal metal damage.
My new H55f leaks like a sieve. Just got off the phone with beno for new paper gaskets to remedy that.
My water temps would force me to back out of the throttle on long climbs or when charging into a headwind. I have a new aluminum 4 row rad inbound from Champion. Very good customer service from a fella named Jeff over there. I emailed them to ask if they could do a custom version of the MC180 rad to fit my 3B. The inlet and outlet for my 3B is opposite to the FJ40 rad. Jeff phoned me back to say that they could do that but they could also just send me a stock unit and an extra set of inlet nipples for me to weld on myself. I opted for this because after reading the posts by tmarx about his install I see I will need to chop the corners of the bottom tank to make it fit anyway. Their 3 row rad (CC180) is a drop in fit but the four row requires some slight grinding.
In addition to the rad I will be fabbing up a stainless 2.5" turbo-to-tip exhaust run. No muffler and exit at the right rear corner following the stock routing. This should help with my high EGT's, high water temps, quicker spooling and higher boost.
Still need to adjust my valves now that she's broken in.
No Left Turn - Rusty Nail Trail
The Fall - Steel Bender?
The last part of Riff Raff on Rusty Nail. Walked right up without hesitating after watching big blown buggies struggle to get up.
Dropping into Hells Gate
Your paths have crossed a couple times previously. She met Karol during Tyler's birthday wheeling day. I believe she was at the duelling piano bar. She was at our home warmer too. She came out sans Karol and was with a taller gal named Amy. 
. Three impossible to reach bolts. We checked the butterfly valve in the throttle body for full operation and it was good. Air filter is old but not plugged. We discussed the vacuum hoses and whether or not they might be collapsing under higher throttle levels. Didn't do anything about it though. Went for a test drive and let Peter take a turn at the wheel. His feeling is that it is slow but he thinks it could be partly due to the motor still breaking in. I will continue to play with it.
