Best place to restore an '81 BJ42? (1 Viewer)

[vegas]

Hi everybody,

I live in Vegas and just bought a 1981 BJ42. It's a truck that was manufactured for the Canadian market and I'll be importing and shipping it back to Vegas in a few weeks. I'm looking to restore it and was looking for advice on the best place to have it restored. I'm not wanting to go showroom condition but I do want to have it stripped down, all rust repaired, frame and body repainted, new interior and have the 3B cleaned up and tuned up. I have the budget for it and just want to send it to people who will do a good job. I've already talked to the Cruiser Solutions people in New Hampshire but I'd prefer somebody local or nearby like L.A. if I can get the same level of service.

Thanks!

Maybe check out specter off-road in LA area... I know there are a couple there but can't think of their names off the top of my head.

I bought this truck: For Sale - 1981 bj42 3b diesel CDN

It turned out to be a solid truck and will be a great restoration project. I think I'll document the before and after here for everybody to follow along.

Fantastic-
I have a 48 chevy pickup I'm restoring. Don't have the time for 2. Glad you picked it up

Enjoy!

Also since you're in Vegas possibly Man A Fre here in town too.
