Offroad-Express

Well this afternoon I thought I'd remove the EGR and clean out inlet manifold... now intake and exhaust manifolds are both out Always the bolts that are hardest to get at that break! But at least it will be easy to drill and tap EGT probe now.

fitted a 35 solid chrome moly tie rod, found hub seal oil leak, terrain tamer kit brought.
new seal in ,back on four feet for patrol at woodhill tomorrow.

Auber egt gauge installed so now i can play with the fuel. Moved a couple 80s around and then dragged Caleb (Filthy4x4) safari into the carport to start the push to try get it ready for the winch comp in october.

leaving work yesterday at Mokai saw a convoy of trucks rolling down Poihipi road heading for Pureora probably. be a nice weekend in there!!

Cleaned intercooler and intake manifold today, first time I have worked on something where the exhaust is cleaner than the intake!

Dragged my sorry butt out to the garage, ran a few welds, shortened the rear brake hard lines to fit new calipers. Getting closer to painting chassis in the playdoh.

the patrol at woodhill went well recovered a paj jr that drove some lump that was over it street tyres capeability, a torrano who got lost,
in a hunt for a lost patrol member overheated the truck , then diffed it out on some rutts around the top of the forest got rescued by one of our guys.
The drive to the end of Rimmers rd cooled it down and not prob coming home,
pleased with that , added 5 lites of water into it this morning
my last time in there for this year

Pulled the ac pump from the weekend before( was making some very unusual noises ) to replace it as had metal bits inside as on way to seizing. New pump, pumps air so much faster.. so very happy

made the face and base plates for my 8274 mount and scored a like new plasma winch like for 50 bucks, good weekend imo.

Knocked up some drawers for the back of the Pardo.

Took the Landy out for a skid!

bogged as bro!!

went and rescued a mates stuck paj on the way back to town te temreture shot up turns out i now have a filthy great big hole in my radiator

Went and played in pureora, dented the end of my exhaust closed and broke the corner of my front bumper so both were removed

Yep, back on the spare, ruddy great hole in the other tyre.
And they are there for a reason, would've broken my indicator otherwise. I'm just happy being the only one who didn't dent a panel

At least you were out there doing it not doing housework like I was stuck doing???

Finally got round to putting my turbo on. What a difference in tourqe

How much boost u running?

Not 100% sure yet, will need to install a gauge to check, although it must have fuel blockage because over 3000rpm it hesitates no black smoke puffing out, have installed new fuel filter., checked tank, all fine. Hmmm
