Worked on it this weekend

[fredfx4]

So i spent the entire weekend on the truck, had to place two deep cycle batterie where the spare, paint the rack (didnt have the time to paint the push bar anyway its going too rusted), installed the snorkel, i have to cross some small river here to go quading and dont want to be towed or hydrolock the engine in them. Also painted a good section of the frame.

Had to make my own braket to hold it on the windshield cause the one in the kit was to close to the truck

the xterra of my friend on 31 mt that truck is really clean and pratical in camping

and last the arctic that came with us on the last trip

Truck looks sweet nice stance. do have any pics of the rear of the truck i'd like to see light bar better.

The only rear pic i have are those

And new pic, think i thore an air suspension bag on the rear in the dock where my friend work, didnt thing about it and tried to flex it a little bit to much, ill see tomorrow at work.

Ill get pic tomorrow under the hood, i just plugged the oem hole with a piece of plastic and silicone and drilled a 3 1/4 hole on the side of the airbox thats goes to the fender then a similar hole in the inner fender and put a 3 inch pcv tube in it. Then i placed the snorkel where it fitted best and drilled a 3 1/4 hole in the fender (its the most terrible thing i ever did on my truck) then my friend made me an aluminium piece to mount on the windshiel post. To connect the snorkel to the pcv pipe was the most demanding part. Took a wood shop vaccum hose not the cheap drier hose put the smalless one are 4 inch so i had to take a 3 inch rubber adaptor that is 4 inch on the outside and cut a 2 inch section of it then installed it in the hose and on the pipe with screw on collar. I had to unbolt the fender to install the hose, the space is to small and the curve are a pain but everything took its place well.

damn i really need to paint the push bar even for the short time its going to stay, its really to rusted it the first thing that caught my attention when checking my post

What brand is the snorkel? Is it for a ranger or something that you made work? Truck looks good

 

[fredfx4]

Its from a serie 80 landcruiser from 90 to 98 but i should have want with an older version, there a small bend in the fender that leave an inch of space at the base of the snorkel that ill need to fill.
