tons, cummins, 40s, 80 series Land Cruiser build

Lol its good to know things, sometimes

 

Like a boss.

 

Apparently I should have asked for more is what I'm hearing now hahaha oh well. I'm in fucking shock that this even happened. Too good to be true! Just in time for Christmas! Woo. Thanks guys haha.

 

lol

Well I got rid of that thing and spent the entire day cleaning the garage and it's still a disaster. Holy shit. But... progress.

I also organized a bunch of tools for the cruiser. I have a million sets of crap so the land cruiser is going to be a mobile tool box.

And I ordered an Autometer pyro and boost gauge. And then planning on rigging up a 0-70psi Cat gauge for oil pressure lol. I probably should get a water temp one too but I'll work on it down the road. Tach and Speedo IDK. I got the fuel gauge working and my batt volt gauge works so that's cool.

I also ordered a solenoid for my dual battery setup. It's gonna be pretty simple, with the key off the batteries are isolated. I can't fit the same damn batteries so this should work out okay.

Need to get some solenoids for the grid heaters, gonna run off a momentary switch.

Need to finish exhaust. Need to make a driver side battery tray.

Need to mount my resis and clean up the engine bay wiring a bunch. And wire all my fans and the pump for the intercooler. But that's all plumbed and topped off with coolant and ready to go, so it's damn near done.

I also need some shifter boots... I dunno on that one, the transfer case shifter might be a bitch. And then I'll do my best to pretty/hack up the trans tunnel/center console.

The front axle I might hold off on for a bit, I want 35 spline stubs and spicers and 35spline warns and a spartan and an open carrier but that adds up to a ton of money REAL quick. I think I'm going to see what this thing needs before I jump into that. I still need a front shaft too, but I need to go to gardnerville for that one. Bummer.

OH and I have to order output seals for the t-case I guess.

Oh and shocks for the rear, gotta flex it out first though.

Oh and my powersteering remote resi is almost done. Need a little more hose and to mount the remote resi and it'll be all set.

Then I can get it out of the garage and start playing with the pump since I went and fucked with that full power screw, need to run it in till it starts to hang with throttle and then back it off just a touch. Then I can run in all the other screws and make it nice and fun and fast. Play with the fuel pin too.

 

Just read all 24 pages of this in one sitting.

Fuck me running that is amazing. Well done. I had no issues rocking the 5.9 for work. That thing is going to run like a scaled cat.

 

Thanks man! It's been a learning experience no doubt. I'll give it a 5 banana rating.

 

Not at my snail pace. Sheeitttttt

Moab sounds cool though. Drive here and we can trailer em down.

 

I can only imagine.

 

Just wanted to get some opinions.

I have unmatched batteries, ones a group 27 the other a group 65. I'm not worried about it because they're only paired when ign is on, using a 200 amp continuous duty solenoid from cole hersee.

2/0 gauge welding lead everywhere.

I'm running everything off the factory passenger side battery, I didn't have duals when I wired up the starter so that's running off the same battery as well. The only things not wired at this point are an elec air compressor, lights, and grid heaters.

So to run to the starter it's on the driver side and I have to run it behind the turbo and up and over the bell housing and down to the starter.

It's a much shorter, less hazardous, run from the driver battery to the starter but my original thoughts were to run nothing off of this battery it'd just be linked with IGN ON and then it could help and be a backup battery since it'd be isolated with IGN off or ACC and everything else could run off the stock battery.

I'm thinking now there's no harm in running the grid heaters, which I will wire through a momentary switch to two solenoids, and the starter off the additional battery and keeping all factory power and accessories on the other battery.

Know what I'm sayinnn?

 

well fine... I did it anyway


mostly everything is ready to go, needs brakes...

 

Ordered a Denny T stage 2 fuel pin. Combined with PODs, she might offend some.

 

It's a monster man!

 

Hell yeah.

 

It certainly is!

I haven't even really played with fuel yet but the torque lean/roll is wicked already. Gonna need rear shocks and an anti wrap bar stat.

 

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!

 

Been talking to Jberry about rear shocks. Thanks for all the help buddy!
