Loaded up the surfboards and my home made pvc roof shower and hit the water at Linda Mar, Pacifica Beach. Loving this roof rack. The shower fits perfectly just inside.

Happy 4th!
Cool shower! How much water does that pipe hold? And I'm guessing the black pipe heats the water, no?

I'm betting about 5 gallons...
Yup, 5 gallons. Plenty for two people post surf. I also have a bicycle tube stem Integrated on top of the shower. So I pressurize it with a portable air compressor. Water comes out pretty strong!
Ahh, cool, pressure was my next question, esp with the spray nozzle on there. We're at the beach this week and could've used something like that earlier today.
Strong work! Nice!
Looking forward to the tear-down. Trying to get the frame sand-blasted and POR-15'd. Considering a engine/tranny swap.
Well I finally went back to this workshop today to get my rear bumper & tailgate replaced, and this thing is still progressing. It now has the engine in & a tray fitted. Needs some custom headers for the LS1 to fit between the engine & the steering shaft, but otherwise the fit looks pretty good.
Drool. Have a build thread for that?
Pulled the fan and shroud, to tighten down the water pump bolts that caused one coolant leak, and discovered I have two pinholes in my radiator, so I started a new thread, because I can't seem to find a radiator. Might go the repair route if the repair guy will answer his flippin' phone.

Dare me.
The one from Amazon is what many of us used. CSF 2708 to the tune of almost $300.
Just put a Mishimoto in mine. Lifetime warranty for $400. I did pull a CSF out of mine that was leaking, it made it 16 years.
let's see...
removed air pump and replaced with Idler pulley
replaced all belts
replaced cooling fan
rebuilt brake calipers (T100/4Runner ones) that will go on when I rebuild the front axle..
replaced overflow bottle (was cracked)
installed 3FE alternator (slightly modified the existing bracket and all went well)
that's about it

Unfortunately it's not mine, but I have a couple of other photos from a bit earlier in the build process. The guy that owns it has a business that specializes in cutting down cruisers into dual cab utes. There's another 62 out the back which is being cut down into a dual cab on the standard wheelbase as well. It's got a 12HT in it, and he also has a full ground-up restored Sahara High Roof with 12 HT that has had every last nut & bolt anodised, repainted, new rubbers etc. Even he said that he "took it a bit too far", as he will never drive it off road again after all the work that was put in to get it to the current state.
I told him to expect me back again over the coming months to see how it's coming along!!
Miracles do happen....
Over a year and a half later, I finally found the time to go through the emissions systems and find the improperly routed vacuum lines, replace the cat, and pick up some stock sized tires for the rolling emmissions test. The truck passed with flying colors on the first try.
Now, time to get back to enjoying this thing!
Old results first, new results second:
