1 UZeed Bundy R & M time.....well pull the finger out more like it

[Bundy]

Well I thought I might put a thread up to show what I have done since I purchased the Bundy.

I purchased it from NSW
Heres what it looked like when I got it
http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/aar.jpg

It came with the following

80s springs for extra lift, 2''Body Lift, 35s BFG Muds, Front and Rear ARB Air Lockers, Sliders, Custom rear bar, bbar and PTO Winch, 240v inverter, Cibie Spots, Cargo barrier, SAAS Style seats, UHF and AM CB, Disc brake conversion on rear, Snorkel and I think that pretty much summs it up apart from the spare motor and various other parts inc wheel spacers alternators and the like.

Since then I have added a number of accessories and mods.

The wrx top mount intercooler:

The dual Battery System:

Will add pick later. Had my girl friends old man help me out with that had to mod wheel arch with hammer just a little. ;D

The Claws for play sold the BFs and have some cheap hancooks for my daily driver...Cant afford to run 35s all the time but I am going to put either 32s or 33 next time around looks pretty stupid with the 31s:

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/aaw.sized.jpg

31s flexing at 2Brutals opening

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/abu.sized.jpg

The 35 Bias CLAWS

And I have just recently purchased a set of 170 Lightforce from 2Brutal what a top light for the size. Makes my other lights look crap so Im going to do the head light up grade soon.

Mods to come:

Air tank (bigger one) similar setup to Mad macs)
Alternator beef up
Tuned (Goes in on Monday)

[Twisty]

Bout time you started a buildup thread Andrew.....am looking forward to doing some tracks at LCMP with you on the forum meetup....it'll be good to see how the bundy goes!!!

[Bundy]

I actually used the lockers on the weekend for the first time in i dont know how many months. I was doing a flex pose on the front drain and had the diagonal spin ::).

I am really looking forward to coming out to you will leave me for dead in the zook but I will give most things a go. I just need to work out how to get the claws out there. So far none of my mates are definates. My old man may even come out with his 90s prado.

I'm not sure if I'm trailering the zook out yet, or driving it, but if I'm trailering it, you welcome to chuck the claws on the car trailer.....the zook doens't take up much room, so there will be heaps of room for some 35's.

Hey, pretty sure i saw ur bundy this arvo near mooloolabah turn off on the motor way, looks pretty funy with those small tyres with all that lift! ;)

[Bundy]

Yeah I know thats why I would like to run 32s or 33s next time but they were cheap and I really couldnt afford at the time anything bigger

[2 BRUTAL]

looks good Andrew, it should have a bit of stick now or not.

[Bundy]

Not really 10% of f*@k all is still nothing but it does go a bit better. Hopefully when its tuned it should push out a few more horses. But I am happy with it you can sit on the speed limit ok it just dies a little on the hills as Dave know from on the way down to Tuff truck I sure he was pushing me up alot of them

[Twisty]

as Dave know from on the way down to Tuff truck I sure he was pushing me up alot of them


LOL, I was just going to mention something about that :-X ;D

But atleast my bearings didnt sh!t themselves ;) :-X

[Bundy]

Well after driving it to work for a week was almost home on Thursday when I heard a slight knock coming from the enguine so I called into my mechanic and I have since found out that it broke a gugeon pin (holds the piston to the conrod) So she is being repaired again but getting some extra work while its all apart. So might get a few more horses out of it yet

[Twisty]

SH!T thats no good Andrew......is that being fixed under warranty? as they would have that out while doing the crank wouldn't have they?

Will it still be right for the Forum Meetup?

[Bundy]

No its just old age. But Cause I know the guy he is going to do all the labour and I just have to pay for parts and put a sticker on the car for him. So it will work out much cheaper.

Sure will hopefully have it back next week but will be 2 weeks at the worst

[Bundy]

Well on my way home last night i called into the mechanic and they now have the head off it and are moving pretty quickly so should have it back on time.

They had let the front wheels down to make it easier to work on cause it was too high and a pain ;D

nice looking Bundy 8)

shame about the engine :-X

[DIRTY]

Nice bundy, looks like you could fit bigger tyres ;D

[Bundy]

Thanks,

If I put any bigger ones on they will only scrub on the inside in the rear even more ;)

[Twisty]

I remembered I had a pic of Andrew and my trucks together at Tuff Truck, so thought I'd post it up.

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album427/aad.sized.jpg

Dont those 31's look great!! ;D :-X :P

[Bundy]

Thats why im flogging those 31s to death when I can actually drive the thing so I can get bigger ones ;)

[cpt-mud]

looks good, nice unit

[Twisty]

I know a certian 4runner which could make short work of those 31's for you.....http://www.barbarawood.com/guestbook/images/smilies/burnout.gifhttp://www.barbarawood.com/guestbook/images/smilies/burnout.gif

Well just let me pay for the motor first.

[Bundy]

Just got off the phone to the mechanic and my motor is having a complete transformation :o

Its all stripped down and various things are in the acid bath, new (bigger) pistons are on the way along with a few other parts which i have forgotton (dont write much down) So I should have it back in the next week or so.

Stay tuned for updates

[boof]

sounds interesting is this repair work or add ons

[Bundy]

sounds interesting is this repair work or add ons


It started as repair work and has turned into add ons

[Bundy]

Just got the report back from the head and it failed the crack test as it had 4 in it :( However it passed the leak test ??? But because we are going to be running extra boost etc then it would not be advisable to continue with the same one so Ive got to get the head off the spare motor I have

[boof]

sounds like your problems keep getting better and better will it be going for cruiser ;D

[Bundy]

Certainly will

[V6Bundy]

Hey Monkey, no chance of a couple of build-up pics of your disc brake setup? :-*

[mudlux]

Looks good hope to see you at the next forum meetup.

[Bundy]

Hey Monkey, no chance of a couple of build-up pics of your disc brake setup? :-*


I can take some shots of it but I did not do the conversion it was on it when i bought it. I can tell you what parts etc are required to do it

[Bundy]

Looks good hope to see you at the next forum meetup.


Yeah I was pretty dissapointed that I didnt have it out there but it will be there next time

[V6Bundy]

I can take some shots of it but I did not do the conversion it was on it when i bought it. I can tell you what parts etc are required to do it


That would be great! Thanks, mate.

[Bundy]

Well the motor is all back together finally after a few little problems along the way but it should be all back together on Friday and ready to take for a spin :o

And was talking to the mechanic how I wanted to do the 80 series diff conversion and he has found a set of diff housings for free so it might be happening sooner than I was anticipating ;D ;D ;D........But the minister for finance is already into me :-X

So now I have to do a fair bit research to find out whos who in the zoo

[Twisty]

Make sure you get some pics of it wheelstanding when you take it for its first drive, just like the mechanic said it would :-X ;D

But serously, glad to here its finally done, and will be interested to see what kinda of performance gain it got...

As for the 80 series diff swap, let me know what you want to do with the std. bundy stuff, I might be interested in both housings.

Yeah well even I told him to get his hand off it when he said that... but Id be stoked if it did ;D

I think I will be able to use the rear guts in the front 80 so I will be keep 1 of the lockers then just have to get another one. I cant see it happening soon as there will be alot of research and collection of parts to get but will be fun no doubt and in this time I am suppose to be buying a house :-X




Equity mate ;D

[Mid73]

How did the Bundy go after putting the wrx cooler on. I was thinking of putting one on my 73

[Bundy]

Well I thought and update was in order since it has been awhile.

Finally got it back and have noticed alot of difference in performance down low. The motor is still really tight and we are only running a max of 7psi boost and no intercooler for the first few thousand kms but everything is looking promising. I am looking at changing the thermostat housing set up as it is not the best in the world and I believe that it has probably been the back bof my overheating problems. I will also intall a thermofan to help push the air through.

[NISSAN23]

looks good tip top job on the bundy :o

[Bundy]

Heres some action shots from the weekend

Well after the last few trips away I am really sick of the gutless piece of crap diesel engine that I have as it is so slow and gets hot without trying so................................................ .................................................. ...Im looking into the lexus v8 conversion similar to twistys and nems exciting times ahead stay tuned ;D

[Orbit]

now that would be somthing i'd like to see

[jclures]

What I would like to here is what the ministry of finance thinks of this, cos this is the limiting factor in all of our upgrades as I would call them.
John.

[Bundy]

Approved ;D 8)

[Twisty]

Approved ;D 8)


but doesn't a certian condition have to be met for that approval regarding a certian (expensive) ring? :o ;D

There would have to be a catch somewhere.

[boof]

Now this is one I want to see, go on do it ;D ;D

[jclures]

One thing in the favour of a 1uzfe conversion into your Toyota the snorkel is on the right side for the engine. Not like mine I had to get a new left mudguard before fitting the snorkel on the drivers side.

The joy of it all. After not making it home from Double Island (broken gear stick :'( and busted clutch slave cylinder :'()and calling Scott from Venom, the Surf will now get the Lexus V8 early. Dropped it off with Scott yesterday and all will now finally start. Will start a thread on it all.

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/phone_002.sized.jpg

[boof]

So it begins ;D

[Bundy]

Well this project has been brought forward by lots since the POS 2LT has Shat itself again so Im in the progress of organising parts and labour and its progressing really well :D

[boof]

Bad luck on the diesel but good to hear your going to be getting underway soon ;D

[Bundy]

Well what a week.....although its been a PITA with mechanic issues the v8 has progressed very very well. The motor and loom will arrive on saturday C/O Boof couriers ;) And the flywheel, clutch and other parts arriving next week....A big thanks goes to twisty and boof for their help thus and future......I feel another BBQ at my place ;)

[Twisty]

No worries at all Andrew ;) Am looking forward to helping out with the swap!!

[boof]

As above no worries and cant wait to see it finished

[brooksy]

Look forward to another trip once the Bundy is finished Andrew 8)



brooksy

[Bundy]

The Motor Is out pics to come........ bring on the v8 just some cleaning and tidying up to do 8) ;D Things are progressing well also have the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, and idlers to put onto the motor on tuesday c/- boof couriers

[Bundy]

Well after persisting with small diesel for a number of years now and shelling out bucket loads of cash rebuilding the things so I have decided to do a 1 UZ conversion.

On saturday I started to pull bits off and a couple of mates came over and gave me a hand........

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image013.sized.jpg

2 hours and a few beers later......

[Bundy]

And the engine bay cleaned and the new bellhousing fitted :)

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image024.sized.jpg

Thanks to boof the new motor arrives this arvo and ill be putting a new timing belt, water pump, spark plugs and idler bearings over the next few days, the clutch and flywheel are also arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday from QCA and will also be fitted. Then on sunday its off to komited kustoms for the engine to be mounted.

So far everything is progressing very well ad smoothly

[Bundy]

Hey Bundy Monkey, I'll be watching this thread with great interest as I'm about to do a 1UZ conversion to my 75. Just wondering which sump location you are using? I was planning on rear sump (SC400). I don't have any body lift ATM but will if need be. Anyway good luck :)

I will be using a front sump which i believe will have to be modded to fit although looking at them I think which ever sump config you use you will have to mod it so it doesnt really matter

[Bundy]

Well over the weekend I spent time cleaning up the v8 and tidying up the loom.

Here are some picks of the new clutch and lightened flywheel

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image009.sized.jpg

And the front of the engine ready for the timing belt, water pump and bearings to be changed

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image010.sized.jpg

Hopefully all will be complete tonight so that I can put it all back together tomorrow then its off to Komited Kustoms to be mounted in the Bundy

[Big Boots]

Coming along nicely bundy. I have a fealing I will be left behind on the next beach trip with all these 1UZ powered 4b's getting around now.

[Synergy]

dont worry big boots, us boys with the slolux's will be alright, lol

yeah good luck with it all bundy

[Bundy]

Coming along nicely bundy. I have a fealing I will be left behind on the next beach trip with all these 1UZ powered 4b's getting around now.

Go on you know you want to do it:D


Last night got the timing belt and waterpump fitted so now just have to reinstall all the little bits and sh!ts and load it up ready to take to Komited Kustoms for mounting

[Big Boots]

I have my subie for speed :D

[boof]

Coming along nicely bundy. I have a fealing I will be left behind on the next beach trip with all these 1UZ powered 4b's getting around now.


Can even offer a test drive if you think it would aid in the decision making process:D

[Big Boots]

Ganging up on me now boys :D

[Bundy]

Well the Bundy is now at its new home for the next week @ komited kustoms getting the engine mounted. Once that is done.....hopefully by next friday its off to get the stainless exhaust fitted:D

[boof]

Good Stuff mate I am looking forward to seeing how Kane mounts it all up.

[Cracka]

When will it all be finished, i'm still waiting. Patiently.....

[Bundy]

When will it all be finished, i'm still waiting. Patiently.....

Hopefully with everything going to plan 10th November its all being wired up and will have it all enginered the following week. There isnt much else to do on my part except for the radiator and fans and the efi set up and connecting everything back up again(heater hoses etc).

[Beato]

What bellhousing kit you using bundy, Dellow or CRS? Also who is doing your "chopped" loom? Cheers mate. P.S. hopefully picking up my 1UZ in 2 weeks time

[Bundy]

Hey there Beato,

I am using the CRS Bellhousing and a custon flywheel and skyline clutch I got from QCA. Sideshow is wiring the car up and I have a complete loom and just sourcing an ecu for it. Here is a link to his page http://spw.starkie.net/

[Bundy]

News just in the Bundy has a new heart pics to follow

[Corry]

Well come on with the pics.
How's things Andrew? This should do the Bundy fine for TT07. You heading down next year. Looks like your doing a good job with the car.

[Twisty]

Andrew and I just went down and seen Kane at Komited Kustoms. The Lexus V8 is all fitted!! Only took Kane a day and a half!!! The engine looks tiny in the engine bay compared to my 4runner....but looks more factory then the old 2LT.

Some pics!

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album49/Bundy_s_Lexus_V8_001.sized.jpg





Drivers side engine mount and exhaust manifolds. These are the best std. manifolds of the models available. Nemesis, Boof and I, all have the worst ones (bloody terrible actually) fitted to ours for clearance reasons. The bundy is able to run them nicely!
http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/album49/Bundy_s_Lexus_V8_003.sized.jpg




Sump clearance...currently is a front sump, but Andrew had a mid sump which he will try on to see if it clears the diff any better...At the moment there is plenty of clearance, but that's mainly because of the suspension lift. A big bump and the pinion would probably hit the diff. The factory oil filter will also be too big. It currently only just clears the chassis (left of pic) But the PTO drive for the winch clears the sump nicely, which is the rod to the left of the sump.

looks good Andrew, boys and there toys, I dunno.

[Bundy]

Well come on with the pics.

Hey Corry,

Itll be more than ready by TT07 and as much as I would love to take it down fuel costs alone would make it a killer. But Twisty and I are planning on headed down again this year just in the same car and neither of the v8s......bloody houses chew up the majority of your cash! So we will see you there.

Cheers

ANdrew

[Cracka]

I bet you can't wait. It is all coming along quickly. Twisty is right, the engine looks small in there, but it looks heaps better than the oldie.

[Bundy]

I sure cant over the weekend I was a little under the weather and was lacking enthusiasm so all i managed to do was get the fuel tank out and clean it. Ill get a few little things done this week before the exhaust goes in on the weekend

[bunderra man]

hey bundymonkey nice looking rig youve got there.
ive just recently went out and got myself one aswell what i want to no is what did u do to fit 35's under her and how much did it set u back

[Bundy]

Hey Bunderraman,

It has a 2" body lift and it has standard front 80s coils all round. It didnt cost me anything cause it was already on the car when i bought it but would not cost a great deal.

Cheers Andrew

[bunderra man]

hey bundy monkey thanks for thee info so how do 80's series coils lift it over standard .

[Bundy]

About 3-4"

[bunderra man]

hey bundy monkey i know u probably get sick of answering this but how much would say either a half cut or motor set u back $$$ wise and wich one would be better to get and is there any good sites i can check out for info in regards to doing this conversion and if u dont mind answering how much has this set u back to date and could you give me a rough list of parts would be much apreciated as i'm trying to make my mind up wether in the long run it would be better slash cheaper to do this than rebuild my 2l diesel motor

[Bundy]

http://www.lextreme.com/

This will help you out on all the motor info.

Parts needed for the 1UZ
All prices are approx as they vary
You will need an engine ($1000) Loom ($900ish from Venom) or Half cut ($2200) I think if I was to do it again I would probably go the half cust as you can get other little bits and pieces of it. Either a CRS or Dellows Bellhousing Kits which include Bellhousing clutch flywheel and a few other little bits ($1500) exhaust ($800 for mild steel or $1200 stainless) Fuel pump intank-need a high flow for the efi and hoses to suit ($200) Mounting the engine with custom mounts ($1200) and a few other bits and pieces but in total if you can do a bit of work yourself and dont mind getting your hands dirty you can probably get away with it for around $6kish

Last time i rebuilt my diesel it was around $4500 so for an extra $1500 its worth it in my mind as the seals in your fuel pump generally cost around $900-$1000 to get fixed and seem to go every 3-4 years as they change the diesel. Also if anything goes wrong with the motor you just get another for $900 and throw it in. And just a final thing you go from about 20ishkW if your lucky to around 130kW at the wheels so just a little improvement.

[mentally-unsound]

Have you done the exhaust yet?

dave

[Bundy]

Hit a snag with it but its all sorted and in there at the moment so hopefully pick itup tonight:cool: Ill post the pics once its done.

Thanks again to Dave(mentallyunsound)for the laser cut stainless flanges he has super fast service and a top product.

they just needed minor mods to fit but thats my fault with the template i used as it had too much flex in it

[Bundy]

Here is a small update

I have fitted the fuel system with an inline low pressure and high pressure pump

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/phone_005.sized.jpg

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/phone_006.sized.jpg


Here is a pic of the CRS rear sump which I will put in once its running

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image000.sized.jpg

Here is a work in progress on the wiring it should all be finished off today

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/phone_004.sized.jpg

[Bundy]

Now here is a pick of the part of the stainless exhaust wich is done now the rest will be finished tomorrow

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/phone_007.sized.jpg


And the finished product this was taken before the wiring was completed so i still have to put it back to gether to get it lookinglike this again

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image006.sized.jpg

Had some issues with the bits and pieces for my clutch so I had to order the correct bits which I have to install when they arrive

[Beato]

Lookin awesome Bundy, wish mine looked like that right now!! I'm now waiting on my Bellhousing kit to arrive :( What fuel pumps you using? I had a bloke tell me the other day that I should have a VL turbo pump feeding a surge tank then a good Bosch pump from there. This sounds like overkill and I cant see why I need a surge tank

[Bundy]

I got told the same by a few people however i went to a Fuel Injection place and they said that it is a bit of overkill. I just have the low pressure pump(first shot after the filter) feeding a Bosch 710 high pressure pump and although its not running yet seems to go alright(I have to fix one of my fuel connection as the fuel was pissing out everywhere cause it wasnt sealing properly. The VL turbo pump would be a high pressure pump so that should really be after the surge tank as you should really only have a low pressure pump feeding it as once its full it will turn off

[Bundy]

Well news just in the v8 is alive now i just have to do a few minor things and itll be on the road again........Not bad since it took a mechanic almost 9 months to do less work than what i have organised and done myself in under 3:rolleyes: With help from a few people(twisty and Boof) thanks again guys will be good to get out wheeling again in it very soon

[Twisty]

No worries at all mate......looking forward to seeing it out on the tracks....hopefully we can get out some time before xmas!!!

[boof]

No problems mate happy to help as Dave said will be good to see it out on the tracks again.

[Cracka]

Great news. Looks like a really neat job that you have done too. Can't wait to all catch up again, should be much better playing with our enhanced toys.

[mentally-unsound]

well done, good to see its all go.

:eek: BEER.............. makes everything seem right in the world

[bunderra man]

hey bundeymonkey progress is looking good i bet u cant wait to get it finished any how my question for u and others that want to answer is will the diffs hold up alright now that u have a few more horses under youre bonnet
and also if u could answer this for me later is :on youre brake caliper where abouts is youre bleed nipple on top or on the bottom cause i changed out my brake callipers today and ive got a feeling that ive mounted them wrong any help guys and gals would be really great

[Gojeep]

Bleed nipple always to the top.

[Viking1]

Try swaping them side to side i know rear ones on later model crusiers only go on one side they can be used on the wrong side but are difficult to bleed i've had to bleed them with the line's connected but holding them up off the car using a spacer between the pads.

[bunderra man]

hey peeps out there what other engines did the bunderra come out with would like to know if they came out with another type of diesel engine other than a 2.4lt

[Bundy]

The diffs should go alright but like anything if you drive like a tool you will break anything. The Bunderas only came out with the 2LT 2.4TD and the 22R 2.4 Petrol.

[Bundy]

Now the Bundy is sporting a stainless twin 2.5" into single 3" cat and muffler exhaust it has been at the shop for an extra day so that they could polish it all up and it was only $1100 from Caloundra Exhaust whom i reccomend........The bundy has bling.....now i cant wait till i hear it

[boof]

good work mate

[Gerg]

git a rear locker for sure! i blew two diffs with the 22R!

[Bundy]

git a rear locker for sure! i blew two diffs with the 22R!

Ive got front and rear air lockers;)

[Bundy]

Well the bundy is back and here are a few shots

Its got bling

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image071.sized.jpg

It only arrived home after i left so i havnt heard it yet so very excited to get home tonight

[Cracka]

Go home now and take tomorrow off work to enjoy it. Mmmm, wonder how much driving you can do tonight!! Good work mate, have fun.

[Bundy]

Unfortunately i cant drive it just yet as i havnt got th e clutch fork and pivot ball in.......also the throtle cable needs to be modified and also need to install the CRS rear sump and fix the minor fuel leak but i should be back on the road in about 2 weeks since im not here this weekend

[mentally-unsound]

:) Looks great, nice work. It will be a very time consuming job to keep the whole thing polished once you've gone off road

[Bundy]

Well the long awaited vid

http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o...nt=Running.flv (http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/bundymonkey/?action=view&current=Running.flv)

[Apocalypsse]

My gods man, that sounds soooo hawt!

[Bundy]

Anyway a bit of an update:

Over the weekend I was hoping to be able to drive it on Sunday but it appears that the throwout bearing and retainer I have are wrong as when you depress the clutch it just squeals its head off until you release it. So it mean the engine has to come out again....

Here is what I achieved:

Got the CRS rear sump in

[Bundy]

Well another weekend spent working on the truck and I have finally got to take it for a drive and what can i say.......It goes like a cut cat!!!!http://www.downunder4x4.net/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif http://www.downunder4x4.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif I have some issues with the alternator charging so it goes into shut down mode after 20min but i took it out the back of our estate and opened it up....So should be all good to drive by the end of the weekhttp://www.downunder4x4.net/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Cracka]

Good work mate. It's worth the wait, you'll be smiling for a long time to come. Where are you headed on the weekend. I am off the Fraser next week and can't wait.

[Bundy]

Good work mate. It's worth the wait, you'll be smiling for a long time to come. Where are you headed on the weekend. I am off the Fraser next week and can't wait.

Mate ill just be going easy for awhile to iron out any issues.....Im also going to give my old man a hand with his Fiat X19 as he has been over helping me for the last few weekends so i better return the favour. I might do a beach run between Chrissy and New Years. and then might go out to Cruiser for a day after new years

[gidget]

Well I havn't spoke to you for a while mate & it seams the ol' girl is going to go a bit quicker these days. NICE.
Looking good mate,,, as I said in Twisty's thread we will have to catch up in the new year.

[brooksy]

Can't wait for the next camp trip to hear it.



brooksy

[bunderra man]

hey bundy monkey did u have to modifyany parts of the drive line for the big 8 to fit and if so what were they
and r u still using the same radiators as before i just checked out lextreme very good site

[Z()LTAN]

hmmmm that exhaust smoke color has me worried...

[sudso]

hey peeps out there what other engines did the bunderra come out with would like to know if they came out with another type of diesel engine other than a 2.4lt
You know I've got one set up for a twin turbo Soarer engine:D The diffs will handle the power ok but the g52 g/box probably wont. 5th gear went in mine.

[Bundy]

hey bundy monkey did u have to modifyany parts of the drive line for the big 8 to fit and if so what were they
and r u still using the same radiators as before i just checked out lextreme very good site

All the same stuff as before with the drive line. the gearbox was making oises before i put this in so i am just waiting for the $$ to build up again and ill be getting it overhauled and get some crawler gears for the transfer while i am at it

[Beato]

Hi again Bundy Monkey, You may have read in my 75 build up thread that I've got some probs fitting my 1UZ. I'm guessing we share the same front chassis dimensions and firewall shape, but must have different gearbox's. Looking at your pics your engine is sitting higher on the chassis rails to where mine wants to sit. Just curious to know if Kane has had to move your gearbox foward or modify your firewall to get the UZ to fit up. Any clues at this stage would be great, Cheers mate

[bunderra man]

hey bundy monkey this is a question for u, or any one that could answer for me the rear end in the bunderra feels really sloppy what could this be i was thinking it might be my bearings but i only notice it when coming down off a curb or something.

And whats the the best way to get rid of some rust i was thinking of using a wire wheel attached to a grinder would that be to harsh and leave marks in the metal im going to bog over the area anyway

any help would be great thanks

[Bundy]

My front chassis is actually marginally smaller than yours so you should have more room! However Kane did massage the firewall to give clearance of about 25mm at the rear of the motor. The gearbox remaind in the same spot however I also have a different gearbox and transfer to you too......Even though the Bundy is a 70series it is very different to all other 70s. I also have a 2" body lift which may allow it to sit in better!

[Bundy]

any help would be great thanks

It could be a few things but it sounds more like bushes or perhaps a loose bolt in the suspension arms(inc panhard). To check your bearings jack each side up and grab the wheels and shake it if there is a clicking noise coming from the hub then its likely to be your bearings if not then its more than likely they are fine. But i would start with the suspension links first.

As for the rust there is no right and wrong way just whatever you are happy with. I would prefer to completely cut it and and weld a new bit in but thats my opinion as i dont like bog. Remember we dig metal out of the ground and it spends the rest of its life trying to get back in it!!

[Bundy]

Well its all approved and it has one of these

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image004.jpg

I have also put a surge tank in as the low pressure pump was not keeping up with the high pressure pump and the surge tank has fixed this

[bunderra man]

thanks bundy monkey ill give that a go and c how it turns out thanks for youre help and keep the pics comin cant wait till u get some action shots

[V6Bundy]

Well its all approved and it has one of these

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/bundymonkey/Image004.jpg

Well done champ! Top build. If only I could get my butt in gear and finish mine...

[Reddo]

Does the compliance palte actually state the mods (can't quite read it)? We have one form QLD that (handily) does not - so can be used to cover a multitude of sins down er in Taswegia

[V6Bundy]

The 'LA1' you can see on the third line represents the change of engine, that is all - as far as I know. The V6 Chev in my Bundera has the same code.

[Twisty]

The 'LA1' you can see on the third line represents the change of engine, that is all - as far as I know. The V6 Chev in my Bundera has the same code.

Yep, V6 Bundy is correct...LA1 is the code for engine conversion.....QLD Transport have a record of what is written on the Compliance plate....so while you could easily add different mod codes to the plate, as soon as they look your details up you'll be screwed.

[Bundy]

Well now that the engine conversion is all done I thought I better post up some pics of the finished product:

Its looking fantastic mate. Cant get over how well it fits in there, looks to have heaps more room than mine. Cant wait to try and follow it down some tracks at cruiser!!!

[brooksy]

Andrew,

As boof said it fits very well in the Bundy, doesn't look crowded & by the looks of it a 3rd battery should be able to fit if ever required.

With the pod there is enough room but I have a airbox that I need to plumb into the snorkel so once thats in there wont be the room but between the 2 batteries it should be fine as for winching i dont need batteries as its a PTO

I would love to know what sort of range you are getting out of a tank with that sweet sweet V8 on board. I heard your vid and I must say I am in love

I was planning on putting a 22RE in mine however I may have to re-think it all now

any info would be very much appreciated

bundy_Harry

I dont know for sure as my speedo isnt working but doing a roughy with my sat nav Im getting approx 500km out of a tank which i worked out to be getting approx 7 and a bit km per litre or 14L/100km. as I said im not 100% on that but its pretty close

[Bundy]

If this is the one you are talking about








It looks like a custom jobhttp://www.marks4wd.com/images/projects/bundy_project/bundy-01.JPG

[Reddo]

hey BundyM

I was in town today, i spyed your ride on the side of the rd. Nice lookin bus, and well done. Are you usally around this part of town? or is this a once off? I snapped off a couple of pics, and i hope ya dont mind.

jimmy

[Bundy]

Thanks mate,

Dont mind people taking photos just not the transport dept or police

[bunderra man]

yeah thats the one dont know if they would make them and would i be able to fit 33 under the guards without having to do a body lift

[Bundy]

If you dont have any sort of sus or body lift i wouldnt think you strugle to get 33s on! But if you dont have that put the lift in before getting the tyres as it will help alot more offroad, or get a diff lock.

As for the bar anybody thats handy with metal work should be able to knock one of those out! But where are you located if you are in SE Qld or willing to pay a bit of freight I would reccomend Brooksy off the forum he is in Hervey Bay his work is of a really high quality. He will be doing a rear bar for me in the coming months

[crack]

sweet truck ill have to read the buildup from start to finish now.

Lookin' good fella.
how'd the bundy hold up?
did ya get home alright, what the hell happened?

[tna racing]

did u reak the studs in the back axle typical toyota if so

[brooksy]

How's Andrew & Cush, everybody OK ??
Was it just shearing of the studs or something worse?


brooksy

[boof]

X2 hope everyones alright:(

[Twisty]

Yeah, they are all fine....luckily it happen on the turnoff to peachester, so was only doing 60km/hr instead of a 100.

Andrew was running a wheel spacer on that corner, it must have got loose, eventually snapping 3 studs off, and pretty much stripping the rest. The rear disc rotor has a big flat spot in it from dragging along the bitumen, and the rear flare got smashed by the tyre coming out.

He got it towed home on a tilt tray, which ended up costing a phew hundred. Shitty end to an awesome weekend!

[boof]

Man that sucks I thought my luck was bad.
If theres anything I can do mate give me a call

[Bundy]

Hey all....Yeah thankfully everyone is alright (except the bank bal)as twisty said and thanks again mate for coming back was really appreciated. It was a really great weekend and I was really pissed that it ended like that but thankfully it didnt end up worse. I will postup some more pics through the day

[4runner4mud]

that looks bad mate, just lucky it wasnt any worse for you and your car.

[Big Boots]

Hope you had your brown undies on for that one !!! Glad to hear nobody was hurt.

[mentally-unsound]

very lucky, no injuries. so was it the spacer that caused it or not sure as yet?

[Bundy]

Im not 100% sure as there were a few snapped studs and a few loose bolts but at the end of the day we were very lucky it happened where it did not a few kms back and it would have been a whole lot worse.

[Bundy]

did u reak the studs in the back axle typical toyota if so

They are atually Nissan rotors and studs as it has a disc break rear end conversion

[Bunn-Dee]

good lookin truck, i just got a bundy a month and put ironman lift and 33 inch claws, is there much work in puting 80 series springs

[BushTuckerNed]

have u mentioned anywhere in your thread on how the rear disc conversion was done?

Im keen to do this

[Bundy]

good lookin truck, i just got a bundy a month and put ironman lift and 33 inch claws, is there much work in puting 80 series springs

If you use standard fronts off an 80 for the front and heavy duty ones for the rear it will give you about 3-4" of lift depending on what acc you have

[Bundy]

have u mentioned anywhere in your thread on how the rear disc conversion was done?

Im keen to do this

No as it was on the car when i bought it. Its basically Nissan Patrol rear rotors and Subaru calipers with some fabbed up brakets to hold it all in place. I can take some photos if you want

[BushTuckerNed]

That would be great thanks :)

you dont happen to know exaclty what subi the calipers came off do you? or it may not matter

and it that engineered?

thanks

[Bundy]

Small update....the tie rods on the draglink were stuffed and the inside of one side of the link was also buggered so I put a new Ryano Rock Link:D and RTC steering dampner so the bundy has a little bit of bling

[Cracka]

Good work Bundy, She'll be steering a little better now. Ahh some TLC hey.

[Bundy]

[Bundy]

[Celt's]

Jet Black would look pretty hot i reckon.

[Simbag]

Just like to thank all the guys at 4wd Action as it was a great day out and the end result was a pretty good DVD......Cracka and I put on a show of how to lift 1 wheel and even 2:D on more than one occaion

[boof]

They are some great shot mate all you and Cracka did was make me sitting down the bottom the hill think it was going to end in tears when I got my go :D

[cruiser1]

Great pics there mate, two wheels hey, hope they were the front two ;) I've never seen that much water at LCMP. Where was the shot of the water crossing taken?

[Bundy]

Nope only the drivers side 2 were on the ground :D

The water shot was taken in the gully down from the dump after trecka and on the way to the pig pen. The weekend ew went out for the 8 day there was much more water and a fair bit of grass which was good to see.

[Bundy]

Well believe it or not this POS still is around though more a driveway ornament after I managed to put a healthy crack in the transfer case and it took a while just to find one as the vacuum shift is apparently quite rare. In the end I managed to pick up a brand spankas one for alot less than what most wreckers were asking.

The Crack

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/bundymonkey/P1070230.jpg

Getting the Lock nuts off when the box is out turns out to be alot harder than first thought.....nothing a cold chisel and big hammer wont fix

Transfer output off

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/bundymonkey/P1070231.jpg

Gearbox output cover off and I think there is going to be the source of the noise I have had for the past few years once i get the cover off

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o117/bundymonkey/P1070232.jpg

So hopefully in the next few weeks I can get the additional parts and extra tools I need to complete the job and the Bundy will be back on track for some more fun though this time its only getting trailered as I am over coming home on a tow truck:crazy:

[warey]

hi there bundy just wondering what shocks you have with the 80 springs and was there any mod to the front castor for correction and sorry to hear about ya transfer case.

[Celt's]

WOW blast from the past indeed. It's good to see something finally moving along for the bundy. Having the hungy must fill the void fairly well though hey.

[Bundy]

hi there bundy just wondering what shocks you have with the 80 springs and was there any mod to the front castor for correction and sorry to hear about ya transfer case.

Im pretty sure that they are 80s fronts all round. I didnt put them in as thats what was in the car when i got it.

[Bundy]

WOW blast from the past indeed. It's good to see something finally moving along for the bundy. Having the hungy must fill the void fairly well though hey.


Yes blast from the past its just been annoying me sitting in the driveway and yeah having the hungy has taken the need for me to fix it as I can still go away and I must admit I go away more as its that much easier and stress free:D:drink:

Plus you had funds going towards the wedding & stuff to so it's good to see your finally getting back to it. It certainly does sound awesome when out on the tracks. I think it's a great idea to have it trailered, to save any headaches at the end of a good trip.;)

spose you have a point though, there are quie a few blokes on here guilty of that

[Twisty]

She'll be back and running soon! We talked plenty of crap about some new mods for it last weekend!

But I guess Ryano has been saying the same thing about the runner for over 2 years now.

I am slowly bringing all mine home. Got 4 at home now, picking another up this weekend, gotta have the trailer sorted for TT, the Runner is staying where it is for now, the Rover is content as is and then there is just Gary's old cab. I've got to lop a few more trees down to make room for them. :D
