IceY60´s Patrols.

[Stropp]

Hit another wall today. I went to my friend to help him with a preassure regulator. A took to 16" rims with me to try on hes patrol. One with 12cm backspace and the other with 13cm backspace. It seems that I can only have 11cm of backspace on the rims. So It will be alot of work to modify them :/ But good things happen slowly so I´m not stressed about it. This problem is because of the lift. then I need lift for the steering also. There is special bracket made be a company here in Iceland And it wil only allow 11cm of backspace on the rims. I´ll have to call the company and check if they can modify it in some way for me.

good luck mate, i hope you can get the mods done that you need.

After speeking to another friend. We came to a solution. We wil make this braket our selfes. After that send it to a special company that who inspect the welding. And if everything goes right we wil get a stamp on it wich alows me to use this bracket

[Stropp]

One question. Does the TD42 have electrical throttle in Y61 like the RD28T? Or is it just like on the Y60 wire from the pedal??

Pretty sure its mechanical as in a cable

Hi mates. Whell after alot of thinking and trying to make up my mind I finaly decided to keep on the my cummins dream. I found an 90 model engine with only 110km on the clock. 727 auto and NP203 transfercase. I decided that the the 727auto tranny would not be used. So I started looking for an manual gearbox. I found a guy that want to trade the 727 for an T5x2276 gear box from an Daf truck. It´s quet easy to make the NP203 fit on the gearbox. And a friend of mine has a patrol with 5,9 and getrag360 gearbox np 203 and the patrol transfercase. So he is going to draw the plate that I need to bolt together NP203 and patrol tranny.. After alot of thinking about tires I decided to start with 44"dic cepec tires. And later try the 46" tires. Now I´m waiting excited at home to hear from a another friend that is going to look at the cummins engine for me. I´m bying this engine for alot of money and its over 700km away from where I live. So getting an person to look at the engine is very important. Hoping to seal the deal tonight

[IceY60]

The engine is in a storage for now. Hoping to get started next month. Lots of measuremnts need to be done. I´m looking for an gearbox. getrag 360 or NV4500. The T5x2276 wil to much problem to install. And I´m not that into using the 727auto tranny that comes with the engine.. I´m hoping to get the beast running in a few months. There is alot of custom making that has to be done wich will cost alot of money. for example building toghether NP203 to the patrol transfercase. drive shafts, and so on. By the way does anyone now the name of the patrol transfercase?
