A rather wet cruise up the North Island this morning on my parts delivery run.

Some more teardown time on this barely recognisable 2011 Rc Colorado.
Some serious damage on this one!

I think this motor will need to come out for a check over and maybe get installed in my side project for test running.
Theres no way of knowing if theres more damage i cant see on it.

Also on the to do list for friday is loading up for a little delivery road trip Saturday morning to Taupo.
Give this 4wd Auto 4JJ1 Rodeo a good test run.

Handles the 4JJ1 engine in the back no trouble thanks to some Load Hog helper leaf springs in the back end.

Fabrication Friday continues.

Test fit the 2010-12 4JJ1 turbo downpipe on my 07-10 downpipe jig which revealed some slight differences in angles between the fl**ges as well as the obvious bigger turbo outlet fl**ge and clocked differently.

So instead of trying to make both fit one jig somehow i made up another one to suit just the later downpipe.

Drilled and tapped the fl**ge to mimic the turbo and another right angle frame to mount it onto.
Made a lower fl**ge as well instead of cutting up a spare bit of exhaust and got all that bolted together and welded up onto the jig.

Let that cool down and pull it off again.

Now i can offer bolt in decat downpipes for both turbo styles in the 2007-2012
Ra7 Rodeo, Rc Colorado and early Isuzu Dmax utes.

I can handle any other custom fabrication work youre after as well!

My first customer for the ranger gearbox conversion crossmember got in touch with the underneath photos today too.

He got the crossmember galvanised then spray painted it black for ultimate protection.

Fits like a charm and looks damn good too.

Get in touch for your fabrication needs in the Manawatu!
