Diesel GOAT: The one I wish Toyota would have built

[helipilot77]

I know. I like that part of it. Only thing that could wear out is the main journals. But with those I suppose you could always build them back up with brazing then line bore them.

how's the motor progress coming along nate?

It's in a standstill til my piston's get here. They have been shipped.

nice, you are gonna make it a MCR so I can check this thing out, my dream build is a diesel

It should be ready in time, but I don't plan to go to MCR this year maybe next year though. We (myself, Zippo and RockcrawlinJK) are thinking of going to King of the Hammers this year for our big trip. Then we are thinking about going to do some wheeling in Idaho when Steve is here.

when you guys going to Idaho?

[helipilot77]

That is a question for Steve.

[H8PVMNT]

Surf Compressor.

We need t-shirts.

[helipilot77]

I just talked to Steve and he is planning on coming September 5th -25th. We are certainly leaning towards the compressor trail.

We were....

[helipilot77]

We were....

Realizing that we may be attempting to accomplish too much with a goal of building old blue version 2.0 and find a job for Steve and conquer an out of state trail. So we are now going to keep our adventures within the Washington State border. This is good because Steve hasn't seen what Washington has to offer yet.

...and find a job for Steve...

There must be a "The Rest of the Story" here somewhere.  A job for a 20 day trip?

He has wanted to move to the states and specifically Washington for some time now.

Holy crap, and leave all his cool stuff? Definitely needs it's own thread!

He has three build threads , but I don't mind if this topic continues here. I started it.  he does have access to some really cool stuff. And we have discussed doing something to get more of it over here.

[H8PVMNT]

I don't think Compressor is going anywhere.

My Pistons came from Steve on Friday. So yesterday I took them over to the machine shop to find my engine in exactly the same condition as it was in two months ago.  :bull crap:

[redneckcustoms13]

Dislike button. I hate it when i leave a job with someone and they do nothing whatsoever.

[H8PVMNT]

Oh man that sucks.  You have wheeling to do.

[spudtheman]

wow very interesting read, your build looks awesome!! hopefully everything goes back together just fine

I'm new to this kind of build but from all of my research so far the 1kzte looks like the best fit for a 4wheel drive little pickup truck. i've looked at putting vw tdi's in a toyota which i just dont think they have enough displacement to handle the truck, i know that you can mod them to make all kinds of power but then the question is how long will they last being all tuned up. i've looked at the mercedes om617 which are getting old outdated and hard to find parts for and i think under powered for a 3 liter. I think you guys are onto something here.

really looking into doing this build myself. i really like the 89-95 4wd toyota's extended cab just not a fan of the 3slow v6 they put in them, a turbo diesel looks a lot better to me.

How's the engine coming, any updates?

That thing doesn't seem To be running to well. So much black smoke means it's running very rich.

No updates on the engine. The machinist has the sleeves but is screening my calls. However I bought a Warn 8274 (my favorite winch!) off craigslist last week and have started new front and rear bumper designs in CAD (Cardboard Aided Design)

[OTO Phil]

If you want a reinforced (swagged?) Loop, here's what i bought for my 8274. It's 150ft from warn. That's the Warn part number.
I got it for about $150 from 4wp

Thanks, but I'm going to get another rope from Master-Pull for it.

Bummer. You could have gotten synthetic for cheaper than that off Ebay.

I don't want synthetic.. especially if it's cheaper lol.. show me 150ft of quality synthetic winch line on eBay for less than $150... lol
but mostly because whenever I've winched, there have been some rocks and sand/gravel mounds to winch over. Synthetic is really great but I've yet to see 150 feet of quality synthetic with the UV protective layer like the spydura or trail gear or anywhere for less... in a few years I'll have some more cash then I might be interested in synthetic but to each his own

Taken mine to Moab, Rubicon, Fordyce, etc. etc. and used the out of it. Works great.  Those big name companies are selling you their name and the same stuff.
