    Electrical upgrade options and ideas

    I am planning to replace the wiring harness on my BJ40 and have seen replacements like the SOR harness that has (2) additional circuits (14 circuits vs 12).

    BJ40 Wiring Harness & Connectors

    I have a BJ40 in Costa Rica that I am wanting to replace all the wiring on. The car is all original. I am not a mechanic but I have one in CR.

    How big is the BJ market in the US?

    I have met several FJ owners in Texas who say they would love to have a diesel powered BJ if they could ever get their hands on one. Being a newbie here I am curious how strong this sentiment is in the US and if the BJ's are really a sought after model in the land of gas?

    12v or 24v BJ40

    I am clearly not a mechanic which will be obvious by this question. Can someone confirm for me that my BJ40 as seen in this picture is a 12v system?

    Recommendations for upgrading/repair BJ 40 in Vosta Rica

    Having driven my newly acquired ‘77 BJ40 for a week now in Costa Rica, I am looking for recommendations and opinion on steps to repairs/upgrades. The car is a solid daily-driver. I do not have the money or time (for it to be down for a significant amount of time) for a full restoration, but to...

    Costa Rican '77

    I will be moving to Costa Rica this summer and have been looking for an FJ40 for awhile. I lucked into this '77 from the original owner who has service records dating back to the seventies. Unfortunately, my new passport did not arrive in time and I was unable to pick it up in person, but I will...
