Small update.
going to be doing a quick 1 week trip to broome, never been, so I have a few things to touch up before this 4400km round trip.
Things to fix:
Swap the 4 speed for the 5 speed, long highway travel would be ncier with the 5 speed
new fuel transfer pump for the second tank - easy job
wire in boost gauge to see what the engine is up too. since we upped the fuel.
Otherwise the wagon is holding together just fine. Shes slow though haha. jsut have to live with that fact

Not a lot going on as of yet with the rig, prepping for some big plans, she will be up on jack stands for a few moths I figure. the roads are hard on her and she needs a slight bit of work.
I will post a video of our last offroad trip when mate gets it done, but for now all I can tell you is that I had some issues,
front auto hub failed - wear and tear, didnt explode or anything, jsut nicked the little engagment tab off
bent front link bar... again.. going to remake this out of 4140 i think
alternator packed with mud and no longer works
blew a brake line - replacements ordered for the whole wagon.
poser shots:
New gauge cluster:
I now have a diesel tach and have replaced the temp and fuel gauge with auber gauges, EGT and boost.
We tweaked the engine a bit, upped the fuel and now run 19psi of boost. it moves better but still only does 90 on the highway.
teaser of the video to come:
