First test drive with Cummins diesel power & leaving the shop in 2+ years! Next up is a road test shakedown & buttoning up a load of things next up on the checklist: Hood, gauges, electrics, cooling fans, heater, handbrake, snorkel, full exhaust etc.
~ PART#43 in a project dubbed "Nanuuq" to swap out my lifted Land Rover Discovery 2's blown 4.0L V8 & boring ZF auto for a Cummins 4BT 3.9L turbo (Holset Super HX30W) diesel 4-cylinder engine (Bosch P7100 pump) with an NV4500 5-speed manual transmission. The AWD 4x4 will remain with the LT230 transfer case divorced behind it all, & plenty of Dodge 6BT parts too. Another big phase of my custom DIY build to create a do-just-about-anything off-road / overland rig. Did I mention it's a camper too?
