    Looking for a tool kit + tool recommendations.

    Hey team, looking to get a toolkit for my BJ70. It came with absolutely nothing, and I'm just inviting a puncture. Wouldn't mind the factory kit, but people ask astronomical prices for them, particularly the screw jack. Happy to make substitutes if there's a quality improvement to be had. I...

    Rear seatbelts for 1985 BJ70

    Hey team, When I bought my Cruiser, it came with rear seats, but no belts, or the vertical bars by the window that they should attach to: Picture is of a friend's Cruiser with identical belt mounting points to the floor and with top pivot at the vertical bars. Only difference is that my seats...

    front gearbox input oil seal size

    Hi guys, Had a look for similar topics and struggled to find, so apologies if this is a duplicate. My clutch is on its way out. Doing slippy things when I try to back up my admittedly very steep driveway. Never changed a clutch before, but on the advice of colleagues, I was going to do the rear...

    BJ70 electrical gremlins

    Play in swivel hubs

    Gday team, I seem to keep discovering things that are wrong or neglected on my 1985 BJ70... Comes with the territory I suppose. Today I removed the front left locking hub in order to regrease and adjust preload on the wheel bearing, as the wheel has a noticeable amount of play. Making no...

    My BJ70 - Beautiful From Far, but Far From Beautiful

    Gday all, just joined the forum. This past weekend I purchased a BJ70 which has lived a very rough and very storied life after longing for one for quite some time. Many interior trim pieces are missing/damaged, and the body panels are a mix of paint, bog and rust. However, she runs and is...

    Ditching the mud tyres

    I just bought a 1985 FJ70 that I've been eyeballing for a while. Looking to do some general tidying up, and considering also doing tyres/wheels. This might be blasphemy on a forum called ih8mud... but I'm thinking about ditching the 33x12.5 mud tyres in favour of some street or all terrains...
