So, I have a 4 door build going on and I got tired of waiting for the panel shop and auto electrician to sort their crap out so I looked at the bits I had lying around after the build fabrication was pretty much complete. Thought I could either sell all these bits and get $10 for them or I could...
Just purchased a 1983 BJ46. Pretty stoked as we don't get the 40 series MWB here in Australia. Just have to get it here from NZ and that is just a bit of paperwork with the appropriate government departments and some freight and a small amount of duty.
Has been painted a different colour on the...
Hi all,
Starting to do a 4 door troopy type of thing. Aquala call them quad cab, so I will call it the same. I like the look of their one so heading towards that look, but being in Australia it's price prohibitive to ship that body here otherwise I would.
Started off with a 1984 FJ45 ute in...
Hi guys,
Here's a video of some Aussie 40's taking on one of the hardest tracks in Australia. It took us about 8 hours to do <10km of track.
We had a bit of damage, one guy broke both front CV's, and a brake line, one guy did his gearbox, one broke an alternator, one guy broke his seat...
Hi all,
I have just completed a conversion from my old 350 Chev to a Gen III LS1.

Hi there 40's mud people
Here's some pictures of my FJ40's down here in Australia.
The first one is my 84 LX with 5 speed box, power steering, front disc brake and in very original condition. I have had it for a little over a year and I plan to do nothing with it but keep it in it's original...
Hi all,
A few months ago we had our annual 40's run to a country town called Jamieson, in Victoria Australia.
We had 7 40's turn up for the trip and a few others as well, mostly Nissan Patrols.
It was a great few days and we had a great time. It's usually held at the same time each year...
Hi all,
I have recently installed a TSM kit with the El-Dorado calipers that have the parking/hand brake (e-brake to most of you).
I haven't put the hand brake cable on the system yet as thats a different weekend job, and I now have a spongy pedal. I have an 82 with a 7/8" master cylinder...
