What did you do on your 70 series today? (39 Viewers)

[SNLC]

I folded and tacked up a fancy looking square into round aluminum fan shroud, so I can fit up a hydraulic fan
This is all to avoid spending well over $800 on an LS engine driven fan

I did it the old school way, no computer drawing, I didnt even mark it out, i just rolled a pattern along the sheet and marked where the circle rolled

Builds - Bush Truck Build

I bought this thrashed 70 series a few years ago, mostly because it had 2 ARB air lockers, I want to build a decant 4wd. It had a PTO winch and superior engineering drop shackles in the rear. I built a new bull bar and rebuilt the winch, and made some sliders and some bar work And a snorkel I...

Looks great, do you have a part number on the side rails by chance? When I've looked into them it has said something about reusing the stock steps which has confused me, doesn't look like they've remained there?

Hi mate, the part number for the Troopy Side Rails and Steps I ordered is ARB 4412170. The side rails 'plug into' the ARB side steps that form part of the whole kit, I'm not sure you could install the rails without the ARB side steps as you'd need to custom make a bracket onto the stock side steps. Here's the ARB instructions that show the parts.

Awesome, thanks so much I'll be ordering soon!

Picked up 5 40” tires and beadlock wheels for the 73 in the troopy , you can’t beat the loading capacity of the lwb hd 70 series.
On top of that I drove the troopy a solid 1000 miles yesterday , good thing I have installed the Scheelmann seats in it

I haven't been doing much with the 77 or driving it much either.

Yesterday I took it over to @CaptClose for a play date with some other cruisers. More will come later as I have some parts flowing in for it.

My poor 1KZTE survived a 6hr trip up north in 30degc temps with all the kids and this on the back, didn't even make too 100degc on the gauge,and the aircon cranking cold the whole way
pulled wastegate off for the trip and saw max 26psi and ultra cool EGTs

What parts are coming

What parts are coming

Hey there.

I have some escape gear seat covers on the way. I attempted to order from Equipt but they never responded back so I just went direct. Gotta protect those nice seats.

Also, I just received OME kit from @cruiseroutfit yesterday evening. (Poor UPS lady).... I was on the fence if I wanted to touch the suspension or not but despite the low miles, it does feel a bit tired so I went ahead with this decision.

Funny, Equipt answered both my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. They even sent detailed photos of the fabrics and colors that were available. I guess I caught them on a good day.

I like to support those locally that make it possible for us to get 70 series related parts but sometimes going direct is the best way to get things done. I wish my experience with them was like yours.

It's the 3rd order I've had with them and so far every transaction has gone smoothly.

That is great. Should have had you order my covers then.

Looking forward to updates! Unfortunately my seats need covers for the other end of the seat condition spectrum HA. Did you select an OME kit to maintain original height or increase?
