Tonight I was able to install the battery trays, air cleaner, basic wiring and tighten up all the body mounts now that all the parts and pieces of the body are installed.
Then I pushed the glow plug button...
Turned the key...
And lit it up.
Purred like a kitten.
And with having just replaced that Injection Pump Diaphragm I noticed the rpm's were noticeably lower. As well, with the GT Mat all throughout the truck (even without any windows in!), it was incredibly quiet compared to the rattlebox of a rig that it once was. Seriously, it was almost eerily quiet for a diesel and for a Landcruiser.
Everything is tight.
Everything is sealed (except the windows of course).
And I have a huge grin on my face tonight.
Now onto finishing up minor body work and cleaning/prep for paint job on the weekend!
Sorry, no pics tonight. I'm calling it an early night (10:30) and ending on a high note.
What a day for you!! I have a grin on my face too! I'm truly very impressed! Have you bought a cheap bottle of champagne (oh right, champagne is cheap!) to break over the hood as you drive off the first time?
