    Fzj80 Cummins 6bt discussion

    You should search Dieseladapters first before you decide. Not very good customer service. As for the swap I love mine. I have a mix of the diesel adapters kit along with customs work. If you search/post on IH8MUD you will have better luck getting info as there are half dozen or so running...

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    It's a Donaldson part# G090245. The snorkel feeds into it but did not give the Cummins enough air so the air cleaner is open in the engine bay as well. However I have a plate that will up close the engine bay opening so the snorkel would be the only air inlet if I need to go through deep...

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    I installed a filter minder on my system. I have a big old Donaldson unit that takes two filters that run about $40 total so I don't want to change out prematurely. Don't know about the Dodge intake setup.

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    Same combo with a 60 series split case (from an 85) using AA adapter. Yes it's a "P" pump from a 97. It came from an auto so I didn't get the 220 HP engine that came behind the manual. The auto version was 185 HP I believe but plenty for me. It's intercooled as well. Oil pan is cleared by...

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    Doesn't feel that way at all. Feels the same way it did with the stock engine. I wouldn't do anything that crazy anyway.

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    I can agree with that. I love diesels and its all I drive. My wife got spoiled with my 2011 VW TDI and now thinks driving the older diesels should be the same. She doesn't like waiting for glow plugs, pushing a grid heater button for 10 seconds, or making sure to plug it in on freezing...

    iPad vs. iPad Mini for Backcountry Travel

    Same here. Anything I have that has a downloadable manual is on the iPad mini as well as all my Apple products. Gotta love iCloud sync. Started with iPad 2 for navigstion before going mini. Now the iPad 2 feels like carrying a big of rocks around. I don't know how I lugged that thing around before.

    Land Cruiser with a Cummins turbo diesel conversion

    I love my 6BT cruiser. It was done by Duiser and they did a fantastic job. Driving it from Oregon to Texas I managed to average 20mpg on 4" of lift, 35's, roof rack, and fully armored. It is definitely not a paint shaker. Here is my build tread on MUD...

    Tough Ipad cases

    I have used the Defender case on my iPad for years with no issues. The case frame finally cracked but still works good enough to not justify replacing it. I have the Lifeproof Fre on my iPad mini and iPhone 5. Had the Lifeproof on my iPhone 4 also. I chose the fre over the nuud due to the built...

    Tacoma to 80 series?

    I have a 97 and my dogs love the rear slide windows. I average 11 MPG with 4" lift with 285's. I have 198K and don't think twice about going to remote areas alone even on original head gasket. It's also only my fun vehicle not my daily driver.

    Big Bend NP Jan 2013

    I go out to BB area once a year and love it. The state park is a must if going that way. The last time I was there the ranger said there was only one other person that he new of in the park. I did some backroads but since I was by myself I didn't venture into the "haven't heard of anyone...

    Thinking of switching over to an 80 series, please help!

    I gave up on Jeeps when I got my 80. I've had a XJ, KJ and two TJ Rubicons. I still have my Liberty CRD but it doesn't get used when I need to load up with girlfriend and her two boys. I can fit everything behind the second row seats that usually takes up the whole back in the liberty with the...

    To Wheel Space or Not to Wheel Space....

    I had no problems getting a check after my rollover from the wheel sheering off. I use Progressive if that matters. I was given the value of the Jeep plus 50% of all the aftermarket stuff I had on it. Just had to supply the receipts.

    To Wheel Space or Not to Wheel Space....

    I had a failure on my old Jeep Rubicon. Rear wheel came off causing me to roll totaling the Jeep. All bolts were torqued correctly when installed. I assume they loosened because 2 studs were sheared off and the other 3 were stripped. It happened when I left Moab heading back to Texas. I had...

    99% Someone is Trying to Scam Me on a Cummins Cruiser Once Profiled on EP.

    Same ad here in Austin as well. Got the same reply when I was asking for info. I usually play along to all the scams just to see the reply. Some of them are the same reply. Usually something along the line of "getting deployed" or "recently divorced". There is a yellow 40 series on CL right now...

    Stainless steel cooler

    I have a steel coleman. It sucks compared to a normal plastic ice chest. I have to put a bag of ice in every day that I am camping to keep my beer and things cold. I do love it though. Its durable and is a great place to put stickers of places I have been which makes it cool looking but not...
