G'Day Fella's,

This is not my own effort but another Aussies ingenuity.

D'oh!

Definitely a consumable item, but easily replenished.

Swapped on a new (used) alternator pulley.

Long story short: DO NOT drop your alternator from about 2.5’ onto the pulley.

The pulley is an odd one indeed.

Thanks to @45Kevin and especially Peter Straub for the huge save with a beautiful used pulley. @Behemoth60

Moral of the story: keeping critical components on hand for 30+ year old gray market trucks are essential to distinguish it from $30k piece of abstract driveway art.

BUGGER!

Big stuff in the land of Beastie. Señor Robbie is rebuilding the t-case and transmission, and replaced the u-joints and clutch plate.

Possibly getting to the PTO project as well.

I parked it next to a 40th anniversary 80-series.

Cheers

Re-furbed turbo and injectors arrived by mail.

 

[OGBeno]

Very nice. Who did the work?

 

[jblueridge]

Turbo done at Tim's Turbos in the quagmire of riches, traffic and politics that is Northern Virginia.
Tim's Turbos - Turbocharger Rebuilding and Sales

Your guy at Turbo Diesel & Electric Services did the injectors.

I'm curious what that injector overhaul set you back.

 

[richj11]

Picked up some parts

I'm curious what that injector overhaul set you back.

Approx $135/injector so almost $540 for four. That includes the shipping back to me. Came with copper washer/seals, so now I have extras.

they did the 2 stages .?

 

[jblueridge]

Two stages?
I told them I wanted them to rebuild mine as Onur's were done.
Not very technical of me.

 

[richj11]

If you ever decide to let those wheels go, let me know.

Got my new tires and wheels. The originals are stacked up in the corner of my garage. Are you seriously interested in them? I took some close up pics of them. I think I'll move them on for the space in the garage.

Hello,

I did not expect it to be so soon.

Still interested but out of budget due to steering repairs. I am afraid I Have to pass on this.

Thank you so much for the offer anyway.

Those 16" steelies are the best ever. I have a set on my FJ73 which replaced the ugly aftermarket Colombian wheels I had. One of them didn't even match the other three (although it was close). Puro Colombian style.

 

[JimmyPrado]

Snorkel showed up!

 

[jblueridge]

No one to stop me so I baked/cured the paint on turbo outlet elbow in the kitchen.
After toxic fumes were generated, I went out and bought a window exhaust fan.
Exhaust manifold is next.

Washed the PZJ70 and attempted to polish the porch bumper. Looks alright for someone that never polished chrome before.
