Never knew that about sandalwood, thanks for the cool extra info

weekly check of fluids.. wow that doesn't sound fun or easy but at least it is on a rig you like and it gives you a reason to check out other things

very nice looking and seems pretty strong. So if I understand you the wire baskets & drawer sliders are combined and came from Lowes? Are they a kitchen thing?

nice setup for a tach, quick and easy I like all the details and effort you put into this Larry

very cool day trip report... I hear ya on the kids...so glad my younger son is old enough to nav, jump out and spot and open/close gates, good to put them to work :)

wow when you guys do add pics you don't mess around. Great sounding trip so far and nice to see that ya'll have slowed down and are really getting a feel for Central America...I love almost every country down there. Keep up the report as we are all hooked. Also looking forward to some info on...

I hear ya on the injection pump & injectors. I am super lucky that my wife has worked as an office manager for a diesel welder/machine shop for over 15yrs and knows the good guys here in Phoenix to deal with. And they all love her :) The good news for me is that I can squeeze that affection into...

Great trip report Jeff... I have seen the beacon sign a few times and I only glanced at your pics...shows what I get for not looking closer. I really need to do a trip with you guys as it seems our travel styles are very close!

Cruise control...wow, don't know if I can handle something that fancy :) For the sake of ease of install and old school joy (plus I am not a big user of cruise) I don't think I will replace it. Thanks for the info on the CDR plumbing, I will have to see where I can tap into the preturbo pipes...

You guys are too funny... thanks for the pics to keep me motivated! Ok snapped a few pics of my own tonight and more questions.. This my donor tcase out of the 87 burb, looks like a 208 for sure I don't really like how close that drivers side exhaust pipe is to the oil filter and oil pan. I...

those front tires are way out of whack... something is not right there

so I seem to remember over the years having heard something about "clocking" a tcase to gain some ground clearance. Is that something I would be able to do? I really don't like how much lower the tcase hangs vs the rest of the underbelly. Tomorrow I plan to have another round with the power...

Thanks for all the info guys... On the tcase I will see if I can find a 241 at a decent price so I can keep a fixed yoke. If not then maybe keep the 208 that is already bolted to the 700r and just figure out how to do the slip yoke...plenty of time to research and find parts. I do plan to take...

Intercooler.....been thinking about it but honestly I think I will pass. I don't want to run the enigne hard, I am a 60-65mph guy on the highway and I would rather have a bunch of air for the AC condensor here in the desert than and intercooler. What I really what to do is fiind a different bit...

Well today was a day to clean up and get an idea of what I am facing with this diesel swap. This is my NP205 transfer case in the 1970 burb and it is one of the best transfer cases I could have. I was told when I bought the rig that the 350cu engine/Turbo400 trans/NP205 transfer case were all...

I feel like I am in school with all the learning & notetaking I am doing in this thread. Amazing how much work you get done in a day Paul, thanks for taking the time to take pics & add the comments.

The donor is a v-belt not J-code engine.. the junkyard trip got me a J-code intake which will be nice as I can get rid of the EGR crap I will be taking some time before I do the actual swap as I want the donor running well and I want to gather parts so I have everything here ready to go. If I...

this thread just gets better & better, and I am learning a ton Thanks for taking the time to go into detail as it really helps the rest of us

nope, no fake beadlock liking here either...yuck I am in favor of fairly stock steel wheels or something steel & simple But then again I am not a wheel person anyway, just never really been important to me

Thanks Larry...after seeing the pics of your shop setup I wish you live closer also :) Nick (on here as Nobin & the 67-72 board as Mosesburb) has been a great resource (his brain must hurt from all the picking I have been doing) and we have been talking about what the donor 700r will need to...
