Thx. When space is limited its practical with wheels 😊 The rail that the soft top keder strip slid into was attached directly to the top of the window frame. The frame has not hold up to this so it had multiple holes with bad rivets. I made a new bracket that mounts to the original hardtop...

Before I start with anything, I had to sort out the parts. Both the spares, which is to be stored until I decide what to do with them (fiberglass doors, OE front fenders and spare tail doors) Next was some kind of storage with easy access for the parts I’ll have to clean up. Started out with...

Hi, took a few pics today. She needs a full service of all fluids, and a descent clean. Here she is topless, the add-on to the roll-cage is for the bikini-top (which I havent tested yet). Tires are 285/75-16, personal I like 35s, but she is street legal with 10x33.

På Agreed, must have been long time bad influence from my wife that made me use the wrong term 😅 it wont happen again!

Rear lift so it shouldnt sag when heavy load. Shorter is among the parts that followed the deal. So are doors, both the original steel doors and fiberglass. Think Ill start with restoring the doors, roof and the rear top panels.

Guess Its almost an addiction… Since things happened a bit fast I havent decided, but Im leaning towards not messing up the look too much. I like the way it stands out from the crowd (over here). Looks a bit bully but not too bully.

Hi, my name is Stein Arne and I live in Norway. Been lurking around on Mud for a long time, not much of a poster my self but Ive appreciated other posting all the time. In 2010 or something I bought my first Toyota 4x4, a 2000 Prado (KZJ95). Next step was my LJ73 which has a thread of its own...

Previous owner made a thread for the engine convertion: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/15b-into-a-bj42-im-doing-it-now.502064/ I’ve «followed» the car through the years, its pretty «famous» in the community over here, and somehow it ended up in my garage😎 So happy! The BJ is mecanic close to...

First day with her, 1981 BJ42, 15B-F, pure happiness😁😁😁

‘87 LJ73

Rims are ET-44 or 45 (if I remember correct) and a set of 30mm spacers on the rear axel (for the look only, rear axel is narrower), I`ve got 2" body lift and OME springs. No touching on mine so articulation is ok. No cutting in chassis either. Home made front bumper and mudflaps (moved the...
