I'm struggling to get my 79 BJ43 from New Hampshire down to Florida. Last weekend I got as far as Baltimore before a loose alternator bracket caused a total electrical failure and some over heating issues to boot. Got that squared away but I wasn't completely convinced it would not happen again...

Okay, Thanks

Do any of you know of a good mechanic in the Baltimore area ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hard Top 43 on the way You guys are right - 43's had the rag -top and were marketed more toward farm use. I have 79 that came from Germany that will soon have a carefully crafted hard top. I'll post pictures when it's done.

I prefer Garmin's mapsource stuff.

Diesel Fan If they offered the FJ with a diesel I would'nt be spending all this money fixing up a 79 BJ-43 ! Then again I really don't like that stupid rear door on the FJ. I think a two part door with a tailgate would have made much more sense

Yeah, you can put me down for one IF it will work with the ambulance doors.

Can it go on the other side ? That's right where my spare tire carrier is.

We need more diesels !!! I believe that "Big Oil" has the EPA somewhat in their pocket. Thus preventing the more wide scale availability of diesel powered vehicles here in the U.S. that other countries are able to get. Just look at all the diesel powered vehicles that Toyota alone sells in...

Right now with the body completely off the frame I'm having my 79 BJ-43 done in Line-X on BOTH the underside exterior and the inside on the floor and wheel wells. I will post pics soon.

what about LOCKING hood latches to keep undesirables out of your engine compartment ???

Go Garmin Having been a long time navigator (since before gps) by means of terrain association, aerial photos have almost NO worth to me. You can't get a good idea of contour interval from a picture that has been taken from outer space or even if from low altitude especially if you are...

Price,politics,enviroment Well in my neck of the woods petro diesel goes for about $3.71/gal. My cost for home-made bio = around .78 cents/Gal. .......any questions ? Make Biodiesel not War !

I am looking to find out what size the stock ( I believe they were BF Goodrich) tires would have been on a circa 79 cruiser 40-42 type. Thanks,

Probably want to try posting this on the diesel board. Those guys would know.
