@NJ KZJ78 do you remember if you removed your smaller butterfly on the throttle body during the egr delete? Is the trundles adapter flat where the small butterfly would open? I think that version is for people that delete their smaller butterfly. Just thinking about it since that’s the only part you swapped out.
Hey @Tanner H , think you are on to something. so here is where we are at: we bypassed the intercooler to see if the intercooler was the issue. We also did an air test and the flow was great. So we eliminate the intercooler being the problem.
Next: there is a small butterfly that remains from when we deleted the EGR system. It has two small solenoids on it. We found it was rubbing on the new trundles adapter we installed. We adjusted it slightly and even used zip ties to mimic that being removed. When we ran the engine it still emitted black smoke.
We tested for air leaks amongst all pipes. Everything is sealed tight.
We removed the new trundles adapter, and reinstalled the air intake pipe and disconnected the intercooler pipes… as if it was back to stock form. The engine ran great! No black smoke.
The only thing we are now thinking is the trundles adapter covers a small little hole at the throttle body/intake point. Perhaps the adapter we are using is the issue.
Suggest on next steps?
@bj70bc thanks man, so here is where we are at: we bypassed the intercooler to see if the intercooler was the issue. We also did an air test and the flow was great. So we eliminate the intercooler being the problem.

@NJ KZJ78 Yeah makes sense.
So when your engine is running, that small butterfly valve is open. But since your trundles adapter is ''blank'', its forcing the smaller butterfly to stay closed and the engine is pissed.
The smaller buttery fly valve also helps for quieter ''shut downs''. If you remove the butterfly, it should solve your problem but be prepared to have a rougher shut down when you turn the truck off.
Long story short: If you remove your small butterly from your throttle body, your truck will run great with your trundles adapter. I set up my small vacuum line to keep the butterfly valve always open 100% of the time.
-or-
You can go with an ''EGR'' version that allows the small butterly to remain active and open like the two options below:

Ok so you are saying of we remove the small butterfly and use the trundles adapter with the blank plate that covers the butterfly air hole, then it will alleviate the black smoke?. Thank you. We are going to try to remove the butterfly today and see if that works per your suggestion. Fingers crossed

Man I was so close to coming on this trip. I’m not super far away but a work trip came up and I’m just getting home.
I was only like 5 hours away…
I'm reassembling the head on my 2l-t after replacing the head gasket...
I've never done a compression test on a diesel engine before... Can anyone confirm that to disable injection prior to cranking, I just need to disconnect the green wire shown in these photos?
It is on the aft side of the injection pump, connected to a harness that runs back to the battery. It is a single wire. On the forward/oil pump end of the injection pump is another wire that I think I've confirmed is the pickup sensor.
I tried searching for a step-by-step compression test guide on this (most excellent) forum, but haven't had luck.
Thanks

I see my old FJ73 there.....
Old man emu steering dampner.
I was getting wobbles. My panhard rod bushings are Mint. My old dampner is quite finished, I could push on it and there was 1 1/2" of play. Problems solved!

Finally installed the 100 ft synthetic cable I bought.
It really did not want to spool in properly until I got a lot of turns on the drum.

Today I put US license plates on my HZJ77!
I brought it back from Japan and I have to say this is a major accomplishment for me. About a fifteen years ago I fell in love with 70 series Land Cruisers but figured I'd never have one as an American. Well, I joined the Marine Corps, got orders to Japan, and decided to make a dream come true! My wife is the only person who understands how much today meant to me, but I bet some of you guys do too! I've been a car enthusiast since I was a little kid, so to actually have a dream car feels completely unreal to me. I've owned this Land Cruiser for a couple years now as it was my daily driver in Japan, but I was always worried something would prevent me from bringing it back to the US and registering it. Putting the plates on it today meant I could finally truly enjoy this achievement. I can't tell you how happy I am right now!

Took mini dump truck to a new shop for state inspection.
They had what I think is an HZJ73 they were working on.
They say they would not be afraid to try working on my 13BT if needed.
This is the only shop in the area that seems willing.

Wow. Very nice
Refreshed the suspension on the BJ74 over the last couple days,
Terrain Tamer parabolic leafs (thanks George and Roarke!),
5.8” shackles and U-bolt flip kits from MAF,
& cheap and longer BDS shocks for now.
I was able to clean up and reuse the caster wedges.
The ride is seriously transformed, the 18 year old OME setup had crumbled and cracked bushings and was on its last legs. This lift brought the rear end up nearly 4 inches and feels unreal.

Very cool!
I have and like the ubolt flips… I wondered if they would work with parabolics.
What size tires you have?
