Body Damage is Cool
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Are those 40" light bars cheaper down there than up here. Those things are close to a $1000 up here. It really is inspring.

A few hours mudding on the weekend, this basically lead to my engine having a valve touch a piston on the way home. luckily it was at idle so no damage, but getting a new head due to cam wear I am worried about. then she will be all new. haha

Well.. I finally got my baby running. woohoo!!! and a new list of updates to.

I got a new head installed. its running, and running well. very happy so far. I will point out this is a cheap style head I am testing. if it fails it fails. if not I will do a reliability report.

I have a new set of led lights to install. 10 watt in size for the corners of my roof rack. saves me having to set up the awning for led strip lighting and will illuminate a larger area.

And on the mod list I am swapping my rear diff for a gen II with 4.875 gear with factory air locker. and disc brakes. which means no more drums. win win I hate drums anyways.

Thanks to a source from the states I have a set of gear to match for my front diff on the way too.
I will ahve to get a front lokka jsut to even it all out.
I will also be swapping to second gen brake calipers on the front. safety first.

She lives again!!!

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
