Wow

I had never seen the two versions of the “scooped hood” side by side and simply thought they were similar but clearly they are not. View attachment 2943309

That change was brought about by improving the crash rating of the 70 series in relation to pedestrian impact. Quite laughable when every 70 series has a large amount of unmovable steel on the front end.

So in other words, instead of being paralyzed, you now just have a dozen broken bones.

Hello,

A dozen broken bones, provided that you survive the impact with so much steel without multiple organ damage and internal bleeding...

Thursday and Friday I cut the roof off my Troopy and installed a Mulgo pop top. So psyched.

 

[Jull]

Made some 3B => 12H-T modifications in the engine bay:
Relocated clutch slave cylinder to the right side of the bell housing, had to pull a new pipe from the master cylinder.

Instead of modifying the BJ75 radiator, I ended up ordering a HJ75 radiator from allfourx4.com. After I got two damaged radiators, they raised their hands and sent my money back.. Luckily I managed to repair one

Soft solder was strong enough to pull the dent out?

Yes, that brass sheet metal bends easily.

Gorgeous! Looking forward to the finished product, that paint color is really nice.

Nice sunny day here today with (just) above freezing temps, so we drove to the next town north for donuts (really really really good donuts), and then found an urban park where I made coffee, and we relaxed in the sun with our prizes...

Got a chance to use the rear setup again (if only to make coffee). Very convenient.

Even our old puppers soaked up some sun (as she sat in the snow).

I bought it

What scoop did you install ?

It came from eBay. He doesn’t make them anymore but there are a couple of others similar here in Queensland. (Fibreglass).

I got the Ironman 4x4 Medium 2” lift on. remind me not to get into the lift business!!!! I left the prior lift shackles on for now until I get my pinion angles checked out but so far everything looks ok. She drives great but maybe a hair bouncy compared to stock but nothing bad. The back is slightly higher although the pics exaggerate the look.…. Maybe it will settle some .

The Red Hills decal is also cool.

Usually the back stays high and the front start sagging soon under the weight of the engine. You can level it by either putting weight in the back or remove a few leafs out of the rear packs.

My front was a bit nose saggy from heavy front bumper/winch combo. When I added a welded rear bumper with rear rocker guards, tire swingout with high lift 5gal water and fuel it leveled out. Nice rigs in your garage!

Texas Barbecue and a 1HD-T 74, nice distraction. Thanks Galen.

 

[bottombracket]

Great to meet you @coldtaco - come back soon and stay a little longer!

Slapped a turtle decal on mine. Says somthing about running slow or something to that effect.....kinda fitting for a 70 series cruiser.

Gas stations near me are charging $4.53 for diesel as of this morning. Looks like the cruiser won't be getting much road time if any at all.

I filled up the tank at 10am. Price was $4.89/gal.
Drove past at 1:30pm and price was $5.09
