For my BJ70 I had my rad dipped/recored at a shop doing mainly truck radiator repairs about 6 years ago. Was about $550 CAD at the time, likely more now. Replaced the water pump and hoses at the same time and my cooling system has been working great.

Looks great!! I'm getting close to finishing my 83 longbed. Where did you get the fender aprons or did you make them yourself? What material?

Looks good! We chatted in the parking lot while you waited for a tow.

Good idea, i broke one on mine a year ago - it was 35 yrs old. Replacement plastic are available as mentioned

How long and wide are they? Dimension from cab end to start of wheel well? Thanks

If still available I'll take them. I have friends in Calgary that could pickup to save the hassle of shipping. Mirrors on my BJ70 are cracked.

I replaced my stock and extremely worn out suspension a year ago with the Old Man Emu kit. As mentioned that’s what it looks like you have. I’d leave it. No one makes aftermarket springs with <2” lift and finding originals to swap means 30+ year old parts. 31x10.5 are a good tire size for the...

If it's the original primer pump, I'd replace with an aftermarket Bosch one. Mine leaked, though the truck ran fine. They are like $40 and are a really easy swap.

Check out Terrain Tamer - they sell aftermarket bushings for the BJ70 and I believe there are a few North American distributers. Bushings are on my todo list for my BJ70. Terrain Tamer - Body Mounts - https://www.terraintamer.com/4wd-products/body-parts/body-mounts I see you're in Dartmouth, me...

All of the Canadian BJ60's and BJ70's came with 3.7 gearing from the factory.

Here's 2 more. The side view is loaded down with about 1000lbs of shingles. Really happy with the lift.

Here's my BJ70 with OME lift and 31x10.5x15 tires. Not the best picture, and I think 33s would fill out the wheel wells a lot better, but I like how the 31s drive. I was worried about anything larger and stock (3.7) gearing.

Really cool truck! I've been looking at those frontrunner racks for my BJ70. How high off the roof do they sit to the top of rack?

I think cost was a big reason they did not sell well in Canada. I read somewhere that in the mid/late 80's in you could get a BJ70 for something like $12-13k, while a CJ started at 7 or 8k. That's a huge difference!
