Offroad-Express

Started to make up some storage in the back of the bighorn so dirty theives can't see what I don't have in the back, time to go cut down a tree in the back yard (hope it falls the right way)

got a permit to cut it down

Finished cleaning the truck after a few trips...
Wife happy to get it off the front lawn.
Then once dry, park it up and pull out the factory dump pipe and make a bigger one...

WHY?

the hi volume is a 12 volt 23 amp, to much draw from one battery, james can use it his 40 instead
pump in


switches in place, got to have a main power switch

new site for the 40s battery

As I said earlier, pull out factory dump pipe. Yeah right...!!!

Removed front pipe ok... Few bolts seized, bit of biffo and they came loose.

Three bolts on the flange all stuck fast and corroded away.
Split those nuts

Now for the dump pipe on the turbo..
Had it all apart about 5 years ago... Bit tight but do-able.
Got them all bar one
And the nut is stuffed...All corroded away.

So its Exhasut manifold off and turbo out.

More stuck nuts....

Finally finished..

Now I can get back to what I was wanting to do.

Calvin

when you put it back together cooper coat the nut and threads

went to Whitianga Festival of speed for the weekend. was awesum.

my FOA's arrived today
sat them in the truck took pic's

Copper coat...

Yeah I did that last time..Heaps of it....
Works good on cold bolts.
But I think it gets too hot for copper coat so have some new stuff.. Nickel based.. Worked fine on the pyro fitting.

See what happens..
