Figured I'd start to chronicle my build.
1982 BJ42 LX - lived it's life in Australia until 3 years ago when it was imported to the US. I bought her in Sept 2010.
From the factory she came with PS and AC.
As I found her.
Then began the purchases...
Pre-cut and turned axle housing from Redline Land Cruisers
All Pro Offroad knuckle rebuild kit
Front and Rear ARB Air Lockers
ARB mini compressor
5.29 Gears
Longfields with cryo treated hub gears
Bilstein 5100 series shocks
Ford Shock Towers
Polyurethane bushings
Greaseable shackle pins
Ruffstuff shackles and ubolts
4x4 Labs High Steer
22 Gal Aux fuel tank to locate flush with rear cross member.
Metal Tech Full Cage
RCI Harnesses
JT Outfitters mirrors
Hardline Fabrication Services:
Out came the diffs and birfs
PJ did a great job with my lockers and 5.29s!
This is the prettiest this housing will ever look
I think I'll gain a bit of suspension travel
As she sits today. Waiting on the bushings to come in.
