It has been confirmed that the unit is from an 81' bj42. The reason I am going this route instead of repairing the H55F is time. I've sold my other truck, my VW Beetle is garagebound for the winter so wifey will drive the VW Rabbit and I need to get the Cruiser going for myself. I will...

Hello all. I am on my first Cruiser project and am in the process of compiling the components I need to get the thing put back together and on the road. It is not a creampuff all-original restoration, just a fun new hobby with a mishmash of parts. It's a 1982 BJ42 with a 'B' diesel from an...

Got an 82 BJ42 Cruiser. It has an older B diesel, H55F, 3speed split. It needs a T/C rebuild and 5th on the H55F doesn't stay in gear. The B has some life left as it has 300k kms. However, now that my K5 has been for sale for awhile, I'm wondering whether I should bite the bullet and put the...

I'm replacing my rear frame crossmember with one of these V-beams. Welding in some reinforcements for mounting it and my pintle hook, and welding some tabs at each end for the tail lights.

Waxoyl is the magic word...drench the underside in waxoyl and you're good. :D

ah yes, the bezel nazi's....I've heard of them. Was thinking of turning the "TOYOTA" and the "DIESEL" upside down too, but maybe that's too much jabbing? Driveshaft guards sound good.....nice. Thanks for the compliments on my ride too gents...

I've posted those pics elsewhere and get nothing but replies on the cold pint of Grolsch sitting on my bumper. Is was a tasty beer. Actually, it was but one of a very long and historically significant line of tasty beers that I've had the pleasure to be acquainted with. Cupholder is out of the...

Hey guys. Newb here. Weather is warming in Ontario so I'm am ready to start putting my Cruiser back together. Here are a couple of pics. It's an 82 BJ42. Older B diesel, newer H55F, 3spd split T/C, 33x12.50's on 15x10's and trimmed rear fenders. The next pics are of some scrap (setup...

aahhhh...can't get these pics uploaded.........sorry

This is proving to be more difficult than I thought. I'm ready to use TNT. Anyone got any tips for a bent rear frame channel removal? I've got no torches and it seems like alot of drilling..... :mad:

Cheers. I posted a thread on another site and someone told me to check out these forums. Nice nice. Quick intro. I'm 29, from Canada with wife and two kids. Always loved cars and worked on my first (71' Mini) at 14yrs old. Over the years my love for speed and pavement has evolved into a love of...
