Sitting in a hotel in Bellingham with this strapped to the trailer. Yep, this is happening folks.

Installed new IP and matched injectors, tuned, made a massive difference, the old pump was running 20psi @ 21:1 AFR, the new pump started at 34 psi @ 23:1 with no tuning, then with a bit of tinkering made 35psi+ (my boost gauge stops at 35 :eek:) @ 21:1 AFR. Prespool is 17:1. Have left it at this for daily driving :cool: Also replaced all W2A intercooler piping with heavier duty hose and new coolant as well :D Off to the fabricator in the morning to pull the Xrox bar off and start fitting up the custom copied AOE, then hopefully back at the end of the week for a power tune and dyno runs.

Why am I still having a hard time believing this isn't the boyfriend just trying to get all of his questions answered first and by everyone?
My EXACT thoughts!!!!!:clap:
 
Swapped driveshafts for the 37th time, gave up and came to terms with my 2WD 80 until I can afford a part time kit.

Pulled the 3rd member and tackling the rear hub bearings and seals.
 
Why am I still having a hard time believing this isn't the boyfriend just trying to get all of his questions answered first and by everyone? And that Jen has no idea all her gorgeous pics are ending up on some Land Cruiser forum. Ha!

My EXACT thoughts!!!!!:clap:

Well @LFD2037 and @scottryana you have forced me to bring out the big guns to prove my existence! There is only one man I have personally spoken to on this forum....and his name is @cruiserdan, maybe you have you heard of him? When we spoke on the phone a few weeks ago, Dan was very gracious in helping place and finalize my first parts order. I believe confirmation from the one who is most knowledgeable of all things Land Cruisers should be sufficient to finally squash this debate that I am in fact a real girl!!
 
@Aloha Jen we really are just giving you a hard time! :-) Please don't take it personally. Just means you're part of the team. I mean if giving you a hard time meant anything differently @NLXTACY would have went running long ago. :flipoff2:

He wouldn't have gotten far though. He would've overheated. :flipoff2:

She started right up! Drove it for around 100 miles, climbed some hills to engage lockers. No issues but then again I took my time as it is not my DD and used FSM.

Not a showy $1K investment in parts only, but very happy.
