After years of owning my bj40 and not doing anything about the black exhaust that I was getting at launch or under a load/ acceleration, I finally adjusted the injector pump to reduce diesel flow. It only took a very small adjustment and it made an instant, huge difference. The black exhaust is...
I replaced the clutch master cylinder along with the slave cylinder. I also moved the horn to the fender. Afterwards, I took off the steering wheel and cleaned all horn button contact points.
I’m replacing the motor mounts next week.
I ordered a clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder for my bj40. Clutch pedal has no pressure unless I panic press the heck out of it. Checked the fluid and it is very dirty and the slave is leaking. I should have flushed the line a long time a go.
Shame on me for being so careless..
Sadly, I didn’t take photos of the install but I can tell you that it wasn’t a plug n play process. The center spring bolt provided by CCOT was too large, both in cap and bolt thickness. To avoid having to drill the springs, I improvised and went to the hardware store and purchased a bolt that...

I took a few photos of the 40 on the street after the RC shock install. I really like the new aggressive elevated appearance!
Will now look into getting taller tires…
The stock height Monroe’s were topped out with the lift so I ordered a set of rough country (0-2”) shocks. I just installed them yesterday and it made an huge difference. The 40 now has a much softer ride. The steering characteristics didn’t change wirh the lift.
I do notice a slight driver...
