    Passed my Technician last Thursday night online. Received my call sign this morning. I bought a book from ARRL, practiced with hamstudy, and took the online test within two weeks. I was kind of nervous about the online thing, but it was pretty easy. It was a zoom call. Had to have a clean room...

    BJ73 Master Window Switch

    Does anybody have a source for the drivers side window switch? I can find the passenger side. If not can I just wire two of them and mount them in the place of the master switch?

    BJ73 ARB Bumper Winch Options

    Hey guys I just bought a 1985 BJ73 with an ARB winch bumper. I have a Warn 8274 that I was thinking about pulling off my 40. I also have a spare M8000 in the garage. According to the ARB website it says that the 8274 will fit. But to me it looks like I will have to cut one of the light tabs off...

    Help me replace my 40

    Hey guys my 40 is rusting to the ground as we speak. I would like to replace it with something similar and a little nicer. I looked for a FAQ but couldn't find one for the 70. From my research I guess I should be looking at a 73 or 74. I know 40 and 80 but nothing about the 70. Can you guys give...

    Anybody Flat Tow a GX?

    Wife is talking about upgrading her GX to something newer. At the same time I'm looking for a new toad to pull behind our Bluebird bus. Now I know the owners manual says no flat tow.

    Rear Shocks

    Drove my wife's GX last night for the first time in a month and noticed the rear shocks are toast. The air bags are good. Looking to just replace the shocks unless the best option is to do a spring conversion. It's hers not mine. She wants the stock ride. Can I just do shocks and unplug the sensors?

    Just a pair of rear springs

    Was under my 79 today and found a couple of broken leafs on the drivers side. The 40 is basically stock. Was just looking to replace just the rear set of springs. All I can find is lift kits. I could probably use a 2" lift in the back. Don't know if its just because of the old springs or the way...
