The undercarriage is pretty pristine with only a few spots of light surface rust on the axels. I'll post a few current photos as soon as I get the chance. The BJ40 (Diesel) came from Costa Rica so it's not US spec, except for driver/pass seatbelts which I added after the purchase.

$29500 as *featured* in photos with new frontrunner roof rack, lights & rotopax diesel fuel tanks and mount. *Warn Winch and Roof Storage Cases is Not Included*. Runs fantastic. I've had her up to 65mph but feels unstable at that speed. Will do 55mph all day and twice on Sunday. Original B...

Nice work. Wish you were my neighbor ! (:

Exactly. ;)

Always very informative. Wish I had half of your skill,...and wit.!! ;)

Breaker 1-9. Anyone have their ears on?? Yep. I installed a CB radio. I didn't have space below the dash for placement so I made a roof bracket out of square steel tubing and installed the radio above the windshield. The Cobra is a 70s retro "Classic" model which I think looks good in the...

He told me that he has the rear jumpers and the roll bar and located all the hub caps. He doesn’t have keys.!

He wants me to make him an offer and I eventually will,.. but not until I see the rest of the parts. The wheels are original 15" with the hub cap snaps still attached.

I added 3.5" LED lights to the rack and aimed them down at an angle. They light-up the shoulders very well.
