Well, those of you who recognize my user name and saw my original "should I buy thread?" https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/133800-advice-potential-fj-purchase-what-look-what-do-you-think.html will wonder what the hell happened!?!?! Life, work, family, financial circumstances and...

Great responses guys! I will look closely at it. There is no feel of free play and engagement is positive and never slips. thanks heaps Will

Hi all, I am in an interesting position WRT my rig; I want to get rid of our other family run about - HondaCRV - so that I can properly garage the BJ42 and that will require me selling my wife on the 42 as the daily driver. Now she is not fussed about driving the old girl, she is quite fond of...

Unfortunately they only have two jump seats and one is (muhaha) mine and the other they are reupolstering. Unfortunately the matching long seat is not spare. Maybe keep an eye out on ebay for people selling LXs and see if they can do the seats separately? This was how my mate got his/

Cheers; BTW found a rear jump seat in the original trim - fingers crossed the deal goes down ! :grin:

Cheers for the reply - what is %50 Simple Green? What about steam cleaning?

With more of less 25 years of smoid accumulation here and there under my truck I am beginning to work out the best way to get back to the truth of the underbelly. It has been rust proofed professionally several times from what I can see and the overall presentation is fantastic but I would like...
