Hi there... noticed that his old vehicle is for sale on TM atm. Was an amazing truck at the time of his passing (the big C). Details of the vehicle when he was selling it is available at https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fully-built-fj40-gertrude-but-in-nz.248765/#post-4316445. More posts under https...

Well... I still have the FJ. It's been a bit unloved so I started by wire brushing the underside of the body and chassis, well most of it. I think I only have from the front springs forward to finish off now. Along the way I decided to convert the back double opening lower doors into a single fold d...

Looking for a tidy 2008-2010 Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon, 7 seater (w/less than 120K on the clock).

If anyone knows of one coming up for sale or one that's for sale but not currently on TM, flick me a PM. Based in Wellington but happy to travel for the right one.

Cheers.

Hadn't realised there was a trip around there... took the kids for a wander around the coast earlier on. Drove past you guys when I was heading back in my 40 series when your vehicles were parked up while chatting to one of the bach owners (on the first beach run a few bays back before Karori stream.

cooksworld

Thanks to all you guys for the congrats, i dont think i know what ive got myself into yet, but yeah the mother in law is here, more so i can keep working and she keeps the wife sane.( and does the cooking, great!) :lol: I think you guys are right on the rear seats thing, now i think back a few year...

Looking awesome! There's a serious amount of work gone into that build. How much more to go on your 'to do' list?

Yip did the same in the past - 60 series complete hubs onto 40 series axle. I had to retain my 40 series manual hubs over the 60 series ones as the circlip on the 40 series spline seemed to be further out meaning the 60 series hub wouldn't slide on completely - however it should have in theory... so...

That has to be almost the end of JJ's truck surely , look at the bend in the body line . It must have a bent chassis or its a deceptive pic . :shock: Maybe he has just ripped the front guard off the inner bodywork .

...aiming to have it back on the road by end of november

Better hurry!

cooksworld

So how are you going to handle the 24-12v switch? Running two batteries with the motor on one or a converter? Looking really good BTW. Also - what are you using to fuel it? Carb, injection, LPG?

cooksworld

Still waiting on my manifold. Email him again today and got this email back tonight... "I went to box the manifold and noticed a few small machine screws were missing. I’m getting some new ones in from specialist fastenings here in Gisborne. They should be here Wed (very rare apparently). Just ...

cooksworld

Still waiting on TBI manifold to arrive... emailed the guy on Wed as I was hoping to have it by last Friday and he sent this reply "sorry dude, been on overload here. Haven’t sent it yet. I’ll do tomorrow." - grrr. Took the 40 for a spin around to devils gate just before dark - I'd adjuste...

cooksworld

$450 sounds about right. Remember to make sure that you get all the mods done that your planning as you're paying the same price whether its one thing cert'd or several. I'd also imagine that getting the speedo calibrated would be you're problem to sort (if they pick it up).

Good luck

cooksworld

Ah... nice one! Was that a runner of had it run a bearing?

cooksworld

Might be time to start selling some of the carbs - found these on TM... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =331857710

$550 for a Megasuirt EFI ECU. I remember paying $1200 for a Link system 15 years ago so these seem damn cheap. Bring on the EFI

cooksworld

Brought my new (or not so new) TBI today... coming down from BOP way hopefully by the weekend. http://offroadadventures.co.nz/fj40-build/manifold/manifold.jpg Off a running motor in theory with all the parts on the manifold... no ECU, sensors etc but I'll collect those over time. Doesn't look pretty...

cooksworld

Don't suppose anyone know of someone who sells the Megaquirt kits locally? Looking at sourcing a TBI manifold and would need a ECU of some sort along with sensors... I've been looking into these kits. http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html http://www.msefi.com/index.php

Took the roof off on Sat and went to club champs Sunday - first bit of mud since getting back on the road

cooksworld

Anyone know if this is a Holley Truck Avenger? Looks like the floats are centre hung rather than side hung which I thought the TA carbs came out with:

cooksworld

Well, I didn't make it around the coast today... hardly made it around the block with the changes I made to the carb (runs like a 4 cylinder until the revs get up). Haven't quite worked out what it is yet but firstly I swapped back to the original jets, still ran like crap at idle and when you first...

cooksworld

shroud looks good. Just an extra suggestion, you might want to put some sort of panel/shroud down the sides of the radiator between it an the front panel to direct airflow thru it rather than allowing it to pass round it like it is able to do as it is now :wink: Yip onto that... have some other pan...

cooksworld

Made up the new fan shroud for the radiator... should have done it ages ago instead of trying the various other things that didn't help. I can now hold a rag in front of the bull bars and it's getting drawn towards the vehicle. Will take it for a cruise around the coast tomorrow to see if it heats u...
