Nice! Thinking of going with a similar color on mine too.
Looking forward to seeing yours turns out.

Thanks Tony, I will post pictures soon
Slow day today..... only got the new 3" exhaust installed with old school cheery bomb glass pack muffler
.but the 3 1/2 hour job turned into a 8 hour job... 
Sounds like a "real" (V8) turbo diesel..but the guys forgot to install the O2 bung.. oh well.. but at least got to pull my dreaded hill ... before was 50 mph at the bottom/35 at the top today it was 35 mph at the bottom/50 at the top.. whoopee!!!!! Turbo light is coming on at 1300-1500rpm & pulls like a mule.. tomorrow is O2 bung, intercooler support, hood scoop & fix small oil weep at turbo feed plate (stupid me.. had 2 sets of gaskets but put the paper one in.. not the metal one)
Here's the promised pic of the champagne bottle cork seal.. truly the "Dom Perignon" of cruisers now
Thanks to Valley Hybrids...finally goin home
built and installed back seat floor anchors...
Cruisy club trip Sunday around some farm & forests. Close to where I grew up, it was interesting to see some familiar views from a different vantage point.
Cheers

Between Taupo and Rotorua??
Spot on. Pukemoremore Station at the southern end of the Paeroa Ranges west of Reporoa. Great views down to Mt Tauhara at Taupo (visible above) & the Tongariro national park just out of shot.

Got it started for the first time after rebuilding it. Great times.
Nice paint job....
Good looking LC.

Finally made some progress.. cut in the new hood scoop..
mechanical mods almost done.. whew.. low end power is even better than I had planned.. torque band has dropped around 750 rpm.. literally a mule.. pulling hills in OD @ 2200 rpm... with no additional throttle.. easy double the brute force as pre-modded engine..
after I get to Denver I'll do a proper report.. for those who like me believe the 2L-TE is a fantastic engine.. I'll include tuner performance graphs as well...
Tomorrow morning will be installing the tuner ECM system..
See you guys after Easter.. to all.. enjoy the holiday.. and all the best to you and your familes..

Drove her to work. Going to get VIN inspection done then licensed.
Also cleaned the horn ring as it was screeching ridiculously.

Great picture! And although the defender is worth way more, I'd still take a KZJ78 over it any day!
Some proper recovery points for the Ute. (as well as others)
