Got my shifters done, the interior cleaned up and some additional sound deadening installed. I also powder coated my new wheels and got newer 32” tires installed. Now back into the garage for the JL rear axle installation and hopefully buttoning up the interior electrical so the interior...

I don't know a lot about the 4D33 but the 4D55 and 4D56 injection pumps are all pretty interchangeable with slight differences in design or bracketry for optional stuff like AC idle up, TV cable and TPS. You might try asking on the Fuso forums but have you looked into getting your original...

Battery relocation complete!

Got my air box modified, mounted and plumbed. Modified a 2G Eclipse manual shifter to shift my NP24, this required deleting the extra cable and welding on a mounting plate to bolt it to the original 4WD shift boot location. I opted to cut the tunnel in front of the shifter to nest the cable...

Been silly busy with non Montero things like my kids cars, house AC and helping others with their stuff. Haven't had much time to work on this but a couple weeks ago I did manage to clean and paint my modifications and drop my engine in for hopefully the last time. I now need to fit the...

Yeah, let me see if I can get the guys to commit to some dates and I'll post it up. I'm assuming you've got lockers, gears and armor? Dusy is no joke.

Funny you'd ask, we are planning on going to Colorado but there's been interest in doing Dusy Ershim (Southern Sierras) this summer.

My exhaust work isn't pretty like @brentonodon but I got my Y pipe mostly done, I made a collector to go from two tight stacked 2" pipes to one 2.5" pipe but I still need to trim the pipes even and weld that and the flange on. Removed the battery box for easier firewall access and it'll be...

Excellent work!

The test fit revealed that my exhaust manifolds were going to interfere with the firewall and put me in a difficult spot along the frame to build the Y pipe off of. So, I cut both sides at the second to last primary and rotated the last pipe downward and that gave me just enough space. I then...

Ha ha, yeah. I thought so too, my friend who is helping me hasn't had time for us to work on it. I did however make some pretty big leaps on my other one (1990 Montero) That one is actually at my house and I've done A LOT more to it. It's not as close to being finished but will probably be on...

2UZ is all refreshed and dropped in, I need to trim the rear of my new engine mount brackets to clear the shock towers. Right now the engine sits way too far forward, I also had to trim off the exhaust flanges from the headers to clear the frame. This engine is certainly heavier than the 1UZ so...

He probably means the speed in which they accelerate :LOL:

I agree but I also live in a sunny state so, gloom is rare and makes me want to get out on the trail.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K... Finally started working on a website, let's see if I follow this through 😅
