.........new Carter lift pump, and wiring harness from Sasquatch MotorSports on this side of the border.

The CDN/USD exchange rate killed me ($1.37 CDN for $1 USD) ....as did the $91 USD shipping, but it arrived UNSCATHED and FAST thanks to Seth's bombproof packaging (plus he has no control over what the carrier charges) . Picked up the second portion of the two parcels and was greeted with the DREADED YELLOW CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY TAPE AND 5 PAGE DOCUMENT......meaning my parcel was gently molested and fondled and slapped with $75 CDN duties.

Still need to install it, waiting for cooler weather.

i need a stiff drink now. :5SHOTS:

I will say the quality of the wiring harness is TOP TIER. Better than most OEM wiring..........

and the STICKERS! best part of the package :BANANA:

its all downhill from here.........next up is TURBODIESELFREAKS's CNC thermostat, then a bunch of Derale stuff.............DeRale passive cooler for the fuel https://derale.com/products/fluid-coole ... kit-detail,

2 x https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/19-row-hyper-cool-dual-cool-remote-cooler-6an-detail, one for engine oil, one for tranny fluid. Thinking of mounting them BOTH on the hood........quad fans......... :rockon:

some homemade steel plate diesel tank armor, oil filter relocate with added bypass filter......EGR delete (stage 1/2). :SOMBRERO:

guess this means i gotta work more....... :banghead:

But once you get all the mods in place, it will put a smile on your face when you feel the power of the little 4 cylinder diesel knowing you are getting great fuel mileage at the same time!

I get great mileage (kilometerage??? :jester:

) now.........average 700 - 725 KM's in the city, 800 kms + on the highway, per 90 liters. (i push the fill , you can easily get 10 liters extra in if you are very patient and let the foam settle) . Not bad for a 6000 lb vehicle. I would love to see what the ECO TUNE does....

my only fear is it will take me a year or more to get all the mods done (EGR delete 1/2, Sasquatch battery tray, HDS 001 stat housing, aftermarket fans and coolers, new tires (BADLY NEEDED) , etc............

.................and i'm already at 268,500 KM's , and climbing. The suspension and all the bushings and ball joints and upper/lower control arms are going to be needed pretty soon, plus 4 new calipers, new rotors on the rear.....thats a HUGE chunk of money up here to do .... and with the mileage/kilometerage climbing on the engine............its A LOT OF $$$ to think about.

well.......lets address that......i commute 5 days a week to work. I used to drive my Mazda B2200 (1990 - 350600 kms) towork everyday. I would fuel it up twice a week. (at Vancouvers gas prices, which are ZNUGHUI&*%(%(GH INSANE$$$$$$) .

with the Jeep, JUST FOR WORK, i fill up once every two weeks.

so is it saving me fuel money? yes......but correcting the defeciencies with a ton (tonne?) of parts is killing me.

i do enjoy it (wrenching) on it and it is nice to drive, and I like the fact it DOES NOT LOOK LIKE EVERY FARKING OTHER JEEP out there (wrangler....)

Wow, Bushman,

I think we both live near each other if you're commuting to Vancouver.
and it seems we are neck to neck in terms of our upgrades. I just finished a lot of the same stuff.

Been acquiring a lot of knowledge and specialty tools. We need to meet up!
