What did you do on your 70 series today?

Finally got the diesel hydronic heater working. I know because I managed to burn my hand with the exhaust. Final straw was the DCDC 24/12 to supply the heater system (furnace, igniter, diesel pump and coolant pump). I ended up replacing it with a 25A Victron.

I've had great luck with that model of DC to DC for a few years now. Victron is next level!

I guess this is more 70 series adjacent, but I finally got the blue tiles I needed to finish my floor. The idea is to have a parking guide so that the truck is exactly where I want it, and it is easy to slot the commuter or the trailer in on the other side.

Thx. We used their stuff on the van. For high current stuff I like to use heavy duty crimped Panduit terminal lugs. They use screws that push into the wires. Also they don’t have a 24/110 inverter. But yes, they do great products.

On another note, driving next week again to Flagstaff for Overland Expo. The rig will be at the Terrain Tamer display. Suspension, radiator, alternator, PS pump and more.

This fun little thing happened in my dinky town the other day. @Cruiserlab was in town to pick up my old 1FZ-F for his Pig project.

 

[Cruiserlab]

Yes sir! Might just be a FZJ55 coming soon

Went by Classic Cruisers too

This old 1 ton truck sure did ride a lot better with 600+ pounds of engine in the back!

I had no idea about this Dough Mama and I've been here 20 years! I looked her up and sounds like she's still baking from her house.

Minor improvement with some fresh window weatherstrips that actually stay in place when I close the window.

Random fixes...not terribly exciting, but it always feels good to check stuff off the (never ending) list.

-Replaced rear pinion seal with OEM to fix leak
-New belts because the old ones were toast
-New bearing in the tensioner pulley for the vane pump because I was in there

Old pinion seal was not OEM...must have been put in by the shop that installed the locker for me a few years back

The old seal put up a fight

Old belts were not looking good

New NSK bearing found locally

New Japanese belts in place (thanks to @cruiseroutfit and team)

And just because, a picture of the truck, aka Righty, hanging out with a buddy

Did an AA twin stick on the split case and installed the rear half doors, need some glass though
