Will It Run? - HJ75 Troopy Build (EP9)

Today's episode we turn the key for the first time after months of hard work.
The 12HT is very much a shed built motor with a lot of unknowns, stick around to see how it all plays out.
We also tackle getting the wiring back where it needs to be and sorting out some of the dash components

Very nice looking at this videos

Epic build mate, I have done similar but not gone as far as you have on my HJ75 with a rebuilt 2H in it. Only trouble is towing power. Have been procrastinating on 12HT or 1HDFT if I gotta spend the bucks have been thinking just do it could be wrong but would save maybe $5k with the 12HT. On the other hand engine mount positions and wiring loom is a massive headache for me. Would be interested in why you went 12HT when you are clearly savvy with that stuff. Great video and build.

what a beast

[@jozseftakacs8747]

Hey! Nice job. About the brake upgrade, I plan to only upgrade the master cylinder in a hzj75 from 98, do you think its worth to also do the booster? So far I only red about the master cylinder upgrade, but maybe should do it with the booster.

[@ShedBuilt]

Yeah mate definitely do the booster as well, it’s where all the power is being generated.

[@mickwolf1077]

I get paranoid of oil flow after an oil change, someone should make an electric pump mod that can go in parallel to the mechanical one to build up pressure. She sounds sweet as too. Will that snail make more wind than the stock one?

[@AbsoluteAcid2112]

Where did you get the booster from? Didnt think they would still make them new

[@ShedBuilt]

Is that a fair amount of rust on the window seal? Love your videos mate!

[@terry2can914]

Mate you will bend a rod using aero start, if ya do use it crank ya motor then start spraying it in

[@ShedBuilt]
