    Gardner Pacific (Sunrader Questions)

    Where

    Where are you located if you don't mind me asking? I have some 2L-T parts, the engine was recently rebuilt but for some reason it dropped a combustion chamber and ruined the number three piston, scratched the cylinder wall, and the badly pitted corresponding head surface. It's my friends engine that he's giving me because it's not worth the expense of a new piston and head. But all the other parts prettty new, if anything off of it can help you let me know.

    I live in Alaska, as far away from the rest of the world as possible, but my Toyota diesel is in Suquamish, WA. I will definitely keep that in mind, in fact I could probably still use some of those pistons. I was going to bore it out as the only pistons I could find for the thing were over sized. The turbo's on these things are hard to come by as well. Do you have a price attached to any of that stuff?

    85 Diesel,

    I have a straight axle 85' toyota with a stock 2LT and a 2nd 77 Chinook that I am going to combine together to create the Chinook turbo diesel. I have seen the other one on different forums and love it. I was following the posts during the initial build and the guy was fabricating all sorts of items for it to take it down to South America. Then I saw him sell it on a forum, and the last I saw it it was being sold on a Seattle craigslist for 15K by a different owner or his father or something. Anyway, my build is still at the finding engine parts to put the 2LT back together stage (only 90K on the engine but previous owner ripped a valve seat out.), I will post pics when I actually get to the Chinook addition part which will hopefully be this summer. it is strange that we were both headed for the same project before a 4x4 Sunrader came along, which makes me think there are more than 20 or 30 of these things. But I've been planning this Chinook build for so long now that I have to follow through regardless of the Sunrader. I will try to get a hold of Greg for some more info, do you guys know his username? Thanks for all of the great info!!

    I just purchased my Sunrader last month but I have been eyeing the 4x4's for years. I used to visit craigslists around the country religiously and have only run across 2 (3 now with the 27,500 one) in the last 3 years. I picked it up in San Clemente, CA for $12,000 and felt I got a great deal. While I was waiting for the perfect Sunrader I have been building my perfect Chinook, which explains the other 2, :). Do you have any contact info for the RV shop in Napa?
