Mate, This engine.... music to my ears!!!

Hey mate, Congrats. I know the feeling too. I spent Almost two years building my 80 series land cruiser and still can remember the first time we started the Diesel engine on the bench and then the first time I released the clutch and the car started moving. Hahaha. You will enjoy this rig...

Still hope to visit you guys one of these days in Oregon. Stay safe.

Some more cleanup on the ABS. Removed all he wiring from the axles including the sensors. Wits' End provide great custom machined caps. They also provide Stainless braided brake lines. In fact, they have some amazing products including a really sexy custom turbo kit for the FZJ80 1FZ-FE...

Spent a weekend with OB in the Mojave cleaning up the deserts just before the chaos began. Shattered one of the front wheel bearings. Did a quick fix, but now, now is a good time to do a full replacement.

Tinker, With this sound, you REALLY don't need a sound system in the car. I can listen to this all day!!!

Hey Tinker I deleted the ABS and the load sensing valve on the rear axle on my 80 series. The vehicle stops so much nicer. Removed 15 lb of stuff and there is room in the engine bay to put a side by side fridge. You will love it. I moved the fuel filter closer to the fender

sure looks sharp. The whole rig!!!

I actually decided to replace the turbo because I found oil in the intake manifold. At the end, it was coming from the oil separator of the breather. So, my panic ended up costing time and $, but this turbo is more efficient then the stock.

two hours of work produced this... now waiting for a couple of gaskets to arrive. It will be a fun weekend.

Got a box from Australia today, and seems like I have a project for the weekend. A turbo upgrade on the 1HDFT. This would have been so much easier when the engine was out...

Hey Tinker, Hope all is well!!! We are anxiously waiting for your updates. :) If you need help, just say, and I am driving from CA to be your apprentice. :blush: Cheers

Is this a secondary fuel tank?

OJ's?

The stove is made of stainless plates and two camping stoves. The fitting was machined from a brass rod with a 7/16-28 tap/die to match the small gas containers thread. The valve is from a welding supply. I had to build it to size, because it has to fit under the fridge. These camping...

Just finished adding 30% counter (tail gate) space. Moved the stove to the swing arm on a metal frame (not to block the license plate). The stove latches to the frame with 4 pins. Still work in progress...

My wife and I got all we need. :) But only if we travel together.
