Man you are really racing through that to do list - nice work!

Bit off topic but how hard was it to set up that new fuel guage? (mines not working :cry: )


fuel sender kit from APPCO, bout 30 buks(including gauge) and follow the instructions, bit of a shag around as the screw hole spacing was slightly different than mine(hope it doesnt leak when i fill it up) but not too bad.

AWESUM JOB

You'll have to get the thread made into a sticky step by step guide for the next guy that wants to do the conversion :shock: . Sorry I couldnt help myself butting in all over your thread, I went into my conversion blind and not really knowing much about what I was up against and had to deal with all the same little problems and processes :oops: ... it was all exactually the same :D

Thats a pretty big fan you've got on there now so it should make a difference with the cooling :!: :?:

the fan is off a late model 60 series vx, same size as the 80 series fans, and it moves a LOT of air :shock: so far so good, will give it a work out over the weekend and see what the temp does :wink:
your input was much appreciated mate :wink: and i hope you and i can help out fj40boy with a few tip here and there.

You may have just started a new but dangerous fad "wall riding"

Definition of wall riding:

The art of traversing a slope where the nose of the vehicle remains skyward at all times :lol: 4wders equivalent of drifting 8)

I like the cruising vid Ben, reminds me of those ghostrider vids except NOTHING HAPPENED! hope your going to get out and film some more :D
