Hi guys, all good down here thanks. :flags-australia: Apologies for the long time with no update, life has been crazy busy and I don't get on here very often anymore. :shifty: I got the engine conversion in the Hilux finished at the start of September. 1KZ going in. I got lots of new...

Thanks guys. :thumbup: Time for an update............ Car Port. I built the carport and the Hilux proved invaluable. I bought a fancy new saw. Dyna-bolted a joist to the house wall giving a nice fall. Then came out from that with level joists/rafters. I fixed galvanised shoes...

Thanks guys. :thumbup: Somehow I managed to post that update on the wrong thread. :doh: That was meant to be in my LJ70 build thread, so I'm just trying to move it across now. I do have an update for this thread though which I will try and get up soon. :icon-cool:

Thanks Graeme. :thumbup: Little update time................ :dance: So I had a busy 10 days at home between my last hospital chemo admission and this one. Patio. The first day home from my last admission and Sam had gone down for this mid day nap and Bec and I decided to go and use the...

Thanks Clive. :thumbup: I tried taking it easy and spent 2 days doing nothing when I last got out of hospital but I found it really depressing as it gave me too much time to think and dwell on the fact I was only half way through the treatment and still had another 3.5 months of chemo and...

Radiator Cowl and Viscous Fan. So years ago I stupidly sold the genuine KZJ70 radiator cowl I had as I was running a body lift and so it wouldnt fit (radiator mounts to body and so goes up with a body lift). I'd been running an alluminium cowl I knocked together years ago but I was never...

Thanks guys. :thumbup: Thanks Gary. No limit on miles its days. You can choose 45 days or 90 days. If you choose 45 and its not enough you can buy another 45. I've currently got the 2 LandCruisers on 45 days each and the Hilux on 90. This is what the inside of the log book looks like and...

Thanks guys. :thumbup: Apologies for the slow reply/update. The treatment has been going well, still no sign of any cancer remaining/come back and the doctors are all very impressed and happy with my progress. I'm almost half way through the intensive chemo/blinotumomab stage now. I've got...

Hi Jozef, I can confirm that all the inner aches have those humps, the ones with and without dual batteries. Fingers crossed you can find a battery tray. :icon-biggrin: Thanks John, you too mate. :icon-biggrin:

Hi Jozef, Thanks. I must get another update up soon as I’ve done a few bits on my LJ78 lately. That second tray is standard on 70’s that got the winter pack which included 2 starting batteries, heated fuel filter and headlight washers. There’s quite a few LJ and KZJ 70’s in NZ so I’d imagine...

Thanks mate. :thumbup: I'm now into my 4th week in hospital and the doctors are amazed at my progress and how well my body has responded. They can't believe it! The cancer is affectively all gone, my bone marrow is functioning great and all my blood cell counts are healthy and normal and they...

Thanks guys, definitely 100%. :thumbup: I'm taking so many positives from this experience, it really has been life changing and I know the lives of me and my family are going to improve so much because of it! I feel on top of the world! :icon-biggrin: I'm also no longer dreading the week of...

Thanks guys! :thumbup: Can you believe it's 3 weeks today since I got admitted and diagnosed, the time has flown by! :wtf: Having family and friends visit everyday has really helped! :clap: The last dose of chemo knocked me around a bit for a few days but I've got over that now and even...

Thanks for all your kind words and support guys, it means a lot. :thumbup:

Well guys I hope you're sitting down for this tale and apologies it's so long winded.............. I've been dealt a bit of a curve ball. :| I went to Tasmania for Christmas and had a great week relaxing with my wife's side of the family, it was great! :character-smurfpap: Got home and for...
