Pulled the fan and water pump pulley to see how water pump looks.
Also got the a/c evaporator out. Evaporator housing had some trash and bugs from Japan in it.

So there is a cool small grommet missing from JDM standard vehicles with no AC.
Yes, lucky me.... A 7x with no AC. No worries, I just keep the top off.
Anyway, on the JDM stuff there is the hole for the AC hardlines. I was missing the grommet.
Luckily it is available. Classic rubber manufacturer for Toyota: INOAC.
I had to cut a small hole on the bottom portion of this to allow my wires for the fridge to come through and go to the battery.
Other than that it was a nice direct fit. This part also fits the front two radiator core support holes that allow for the AC lines to go to the condenser depending on your market, RH or LH. Keeps crud out, or keep it open and it allows air into the already warm diesel environment.

Put Can-Am Cruisers product to good use. Thanks Ward.
You are most welcome, sir
To me it's just a nice looking cardboard box but to Rob (the brains of the organization) it's a very nice / all inclusive kit.You are most welcome, sir
Got a Doug's Tub for the 70. Thank you Ward @wardharris and Georg @orangefj45 at Can-Am Cruisers for making this nice and clever product available to us, 70-series owners on this side of the planet!
Best of luck with the new business!!!!

Isn't that 70 Series a "static display"?
Thanks, Alberto, you guys made it possible. Here's another member of the club on our vendor thread

Hahahahaha!!!!!!
It seems that way, and to be quite honest, I've been so busy at work that hardly get time to do anything with the two trucks. My life after October 2015 should be a little easier (I hope). There has been some progress on the 40, and small changes to the 70. Just haven't had time to update the threads.
I do drive the BJ70 on occasion, but not as much as I would like.
