I noticed you're still using the factory raised intake (and not a snorkel)….Did you ever end up sealing the three piece intake? If yes, it would be great if you could share some photos. Just took delivery of a double cab HZJ79, and rather than forking out for a one piece Safari snorkel, I'd like to give the sealing a shot.
Some great films, can't believe we've not come across your site before now. We want to up our film making but it's really hard to find the time to edit on the road.
Eezi-Awn in Africa just sent us an image of all four Expeditions 7 Land Cruisers before they were loaded into containers for South America. There is a fourth, as Greg purchased a matching VDJ76 to complete the fleet. They look awesome, and we are all excited to continue the journey to our last continent of the expedition! www.expeditions7.com
Very cool! Where are you shipping into? I'm hoping to get down to SA this year as well but it won't be in a 7x series :| Do you have a route set or just going where the road (or lack thereof) takes you?
It has the 1VD-T. We found that the 1HZ in Sherpa One wasn't able to keep up with the 78s with their 1VD-T engines. The 79 series WorkMate also has the 1VD-T.
