This is true and that route avoids the slabs that can be treacherous in winter. My rig is in pieces right now, but the real deal breaker is that I have work during the days our brother from Iowa will be here.

We may be available on the weekend. I think our only scheduled date is the 30th.
 
Santa Frank came to town.....thanks @yodaTEQ

Had to replace the starter. I know I know, I could have just rebuilt it but I decided to go with a remanufactured OEM starter. The replacement is a 2.0 Kw and the original was only a 1.4 Kw.

Last photos with install.
 
Does it start faster? Not sure if it is all 1fz or just mine but it takes about 3 seconds before mine fires up even when it is warm.
Not sure if it starts faster but it cranks right over. You don't get the wa wa wa then turn over now.
 
Put new 315 duratracs on the truck. With a 2.5" lift, they fit perfectly. I know you all tried to tell us how great 35 inch tires were, but the traction in the snow and on ice is unbelievable, and the ride actually seems much smoother. Now I need to find a way to carry the spare!

The 315 spare will fit in stock location. Look it up.
 
pulled all the seats and emptied it out so I could move out of my apartment. This thing hauls butt (objectively) without a bunch of interior crap!
 
I'll be pulling injectors and cleaning the air intake system. I guess I'll do the oil pump cover and crankshaft seal too. That will require some spot cleaning first. I'll send the injectors off on Monday. Looks like it won't be until next weekend at the soonest I'll have the cruiser running.

The longest R/R of the EGR system evah!
 
What did I do this weekend, well Im sure many can guess what Im going to be doing the next 2 days.....

Check number 6...
It couldn't be be all that boost you have been putting to it, can it?
 
Was done 120k km ago, but I didnt power it up to baby it, it gets driven HARD.

I have no doubt the boost has bought it forward prematurely, but it did have a fan hub going and got a bit warm whilst on the beach a month ago, which may also of contributed.

Just going to lift the head, chuck a gasket and bolts at it, and strap it back down to get through Xmas holiday away, as I was going to pull it to give it a refresh next year anyway 400,000km [250,000 miles] on the original bottom end, turbo charged for 240,000km, and on LPG.
 
Got a few things for our trip...
