No my NPR is swapped over to a 12v cummins so it has no ecu. The sensors are all individual aftermarket sensors that are pretty common. I understand the price issue in Australia. That's too bad. Adding additional sensors is an option too. Leave the OBD2 stuff alone and add sensors to feed your dash.

You might consider using an available digital dash from Holley. https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/gauges_and_displays/lcd_displays/parts/553-116 I use one in my NPR build and it couldn't be more simple. You can read pretty much any sensor, log data, customize the...

Unless it just doesn't fit inside somewhere, it's probably easier to put it inside.

put it in a sealed box and run the wires through a bulkhead connector

Admittedly I have minimal time with it so far as the build isn’t complete but I’m not sure I understand your question. Did you mean it seems like nobody does it that way? My goal has always been to keep the overall height to a minimum and to have at least 37” tires. Also the width of my box is...

yes, fully compressed they would barely miss the subframe

Nice project. I’m doing something similar. I was considering using the same wheels as you but I think 18” is more ideal for me. I’m currently working on a set using Hey wheel 18” two piece wheels.

I just thought there was more to your thoughts. It didn’t seem like you finished what you were saying and I’m not sure why you even said anything.

What a nice trip down memory lane. It was a nice reminder that MTVR no longer posts here. What a tool...

And?

Well.... there's definitely a reason we can't just dump whatever, wherever. Dumping too much of just about anything somewhere can be bad. They didn't just decide to regulate and fine people for no reason.

Monstaliner texture comes from the roller. I suppose you could roll in on smooth but I would check with them first.

I use Monstaliner. Lots of colors and it’s a high quality product. Extremely tough and hard to scratch plus the texture looks great imo. Typically you apply it and that’s it. Unless you make heavy contact with something you probably won’t ever have to touch it up

Nice! I’d love to build a chinook. How is the shell? Are they fairly strong?

Bigger torch. A little propane torch can’t provide enough heat. Next time use plenty of antiseize on assembly
