I threw a 78 FJ40 frame under my 82 BJ42...required cutting the BJ motor and tranny mounts and bolting them to the FJ frame...and then cutting off all body mountd on the fJ and fabing up new ones. I just mixed and matched the spring ahnger bushings to fit...worked out fine...

Hello, Let me know if you find one, I also need one for my BJ42. I'm located in the kitchener-waterloo area. Sorry I am of no further help, obviously the first one to come up in our area belongs to you. Curtis

Hello, Has anybody used an early 90s jeep rad for their 3B? I am only converned with whether it will provide adaquate cooling. I have a lead on a 92 YJ rad for cheap and in good condition (plus its aluminum). Thanks. Curtis

mooker82, thanks for the numbers. Sorry, but I don't know the wiki you speak of. One more question: How does Napa measure the length of their flex lines? They must measure from outside end of fitting to outside end of fitting because the lengths quoted on napaonline.com are longer then the...

Tankota, why couldn't you just use the stock hard-to-flex line mounts that are on the front axle already. I do have to weld on some of these mounts for the rear adapter.

Oh, and all the hardlines will be made after flexlines are installed.

Hello, I am having a frustrating time hunting down the flex lines for my truck. Its a 82 BJ42 and here's the situation: Monte Carlo rear calipers. Stock front disks WITHOUT dust sheild. All stock brakeline mounts removed except for on the axles. So, I am trying to spec some flex lines but...

Thanks, I will open the case becasue I dont know where to get a magnet and the shifter seems pretty stuck... Sorry, it is a split case.

Hello, I have just finished reinstalling my 4-speed transmission into my truck and noticed the high/low shifter knob decided to drop down into the case flush with the seal. I figure I have three options: 1. Try and pry it out...Will definitely need to replace the seal as I will bugger it...

Worked out okay...preload is almost within spec now...thanks.

Its true that is probably vanished years ago...the area seems pretty clean and I greased the lip of the rubber before assembly. As long I I know its supposed to be there. I will sand that area a little. tHanks

Here is a picture of the part.

OK guys, I have a question about a knuckle dilema I have right now. I got a rebuild kit for my 1982 BJ42 and I have the knuckle itself assembled...my problem is with a part that came in the kit. From the FSM it appears to be the "dust seal" and it goes on after the disk shield over the spindle...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I am making some new u-bolt plates and I am planning on using an old set of front shock towers to cut, trim, and weld onto the rear u-bolt plates to mount the shocks in the stock location. The only problem is I think the shock towers are cast iron. Can somebody verify this with their own...
