Really really nice. Always liked them. Fair play to you for keeping it running.

Mr188 · 31-12-2009 11:24pm

Happy New Year to all and save motoring. Keep on cruising all bj 40 drivers:)

BJ45dude · 01-01-2010 9:17pm

Nice Jeep, like the colour, I'm in Donegal and have a 1979 one stripped at the min and tryin to convince myself to go at it to try restore, body terrible but engine, gearbox and chassis perfect, any ideas on parts or panels at right price? Tried internet but stuff in US dear specially when postage is added!!

Mr188 · 01-01-2010 9:33pm

Hi BJ45dude , panels for these as you will already no are as scarce as hens teeth.I was lucky with my own machine as it was damged late in it,s life and was repaired in main toyota dealer with new panels .so had very little rust .I didn,t have to replace any major panels ,all other parts got shipped from coolcruisers in Texas.What parts are your worst ?:)

BJ45dude · 01-01-2010 9:39pm

frI have tub off the chassis, worst is from behind the seats back towards the back door inc doors and wings not great either, rear floorpan is eaten thru... debating whether to order a new tub or weld up thand patch old one but it will never be right if I weld but will cost too musc for a tub and once ya spand that amount the fun's gone!!

Mr188 · 01-01-2010 9:50pm

I have to agree with you. What are your doors like? these are expensive.I have 2 donor vehicles but they are rotted to bits.Are donor vehicles scarce in your n eck of the woods ? What are the top sections with the glass over the tub like?

oflynno · 01-01-2010 9:58pm

hey
happy new year to all
it means another year of vehicles is now classic,wahooo

god,i'd love to be upto it in a bj40 or variant restoration,even though they are hard to find parts for

i often wonder is it cheaper to source parts from austrailia rather than the usa as there are quite a few guys in the ford scene importing stuff from oz.

i was debating before to make a master list of body panels needed by people and order as 1 group,sharing shipping charges

i know in the real world that can cause a bit if strife,but at least its an option....maybe

Mr188 · 01-01-2010 10:08pm

I certainly think that would be worth looking in to. Are there enough people at bj,s to make up the numbers ?:)

Fishtits · 02-01-2010 12:59am

The diesel was good. Unfortunately one of the State agencies acquired 4.6L petrol engined versions, crap roadholding coupled with drivers unused to a 4x4 that could do 100 mph led to many accidents...

Still a classic.

BJ45dude · 02-01-2010 1:38am

doors bit gone at bottom,. no donors in my area at all. top section not great but manageable to fix. in a dilemma to be honst but now that i have had this gem lyn in shed for most 2 years it wud be shame to disregard it! full Irish reg and tax book and last MOT here with it..????? wud be interedsted in shipping sharing.. had good prices for stuff from a crowd in Columbia for all parts but the territory scared me!!

JMSE · 03-01-2010 3:13am

I've 2 bjs ('81 and '83) and both rotten, still cant commit to ordering steel though sorry, wud luv to though. The cruisers on here are beautiful lads fair play. I'd LOVE to have been able to take one out on the snowy roads we have here at the min to show the traction they'd get.

Sent an email to that guy re: the price. Didn't hear anything back though.

Landyaddict · 12-02-2010 1:23pm

I'd say it'll be expensive, a chassis up rebuild and just look at those photos.

Be nice to go even see it, but I'd hate to waste the sellers time.

That was quick, frank has them up for sale already, he only got them, this morning, i called over this evening, said they were lying, for 20 years, so we put a set of jump leads, and the first one went on the first turn, the starter is sticking on the other one, but every thing is working on them, even the rust.

Paul.

JMSE · 21-02-2010 8:54pm

After 20 yrs you might put a bit of oil into the bores of the 2nd one and turn her by hand a few times 1st. Start her at the starter, handy enough to get at, just do it in neutral.

CMAR what do you have nowadays, this is Jim, I met you with down the Curragh a few years back in the Surfs
