Hello everyone,
I’ve waited long enough and would finally like to purchase my dream car......a BJ-42!!! Please let me know what you have, and we’ll go from there. Not looking for a pristine one, but a project truck! Just as long as its not all rust 🤢. I’m located in Massachusetts but willing...

Ideally i’d love to do a 4bt swap, but I know how expensive those engines are. If I could pick one up i’d love to but it seems a little ridiculous to spend 4K just for an engines. Not even including the fact that i’d have to pick up an Nv4500 tranny for it

Good morning everyone,
I wasn’t sure which section to post this in so I went for the one that gave me the warmest feeling, the Diesel section. 🤤
So basically i’m writing this post because I just recently met an individual who’s selling two (2) 1981 & 1982 BJ-42’s imported from Canada back in...
Hahahah yeah, it’s definitely a project vehicle. So let me ask this: below what states am I out of the “rust belt”? And what would you value tho FJ at knowing what you know? The interior is in great condition. Like, is there a price point at which it would be worth it?
Thanks for the input guys. I'm definitely on the fence about this one, and its located in Bedford, NH. The family that's selling it has two of them but only has time for one of them, and so he's selling the '82 (which the family has an emotional attachment too). No a/c or power steering...
See I had the opposite opinion. I thought the frame looked great other than the rear half being swapped. The PO claimed it was coated with wax blend of some sort. The tub however, needs serious work. Now like I said, I have a ‘74 half tub that’s i could swap in. Thoughts?
So I looked closer at the pictures that I have and it appears that Billmc is correct. I can see a bead of weld on both sides of the frame that wwould indicate that the rear section had been cut off and replaced. I didn't even notice that. Thank you Bill.
And splangy, I noticed that the tub was...
I hadn’t even thought about the rear part of the frame being replaced. I’ll look at it closer when I check it out next. The rear end of the frame isn’t rotted out at all! That’s why I’m so suspicious 😂. Thank you for the response!
Good afternoon everyone,
I have used the search feature but I am unable to find any info this, so i’m reaching out for help offered.
I am currently looking at purchasing a stock 1982 FJ40 for $3500. When I looked the car over I was surprised at how rust free the frame was, however there was a...
