I have a 1981 BJ42. Does the speedo cable for the same year FJ40 cross over for a BJ42. I've looked and their is some speculation but no clear cut answer.
The PO was struck with a flash of genius and decided to cut holes into the rear of the tub to put '72 chev tail lights in. I got aftermarket tail lights to go into the bumper again but they are the 4 wire, square connector type and I have the 5 wire oval connector.
5 wire connector wires: What...
I've been restoring my 1981 BJ42 for the last two years. I've got all new brake lines, rotors, calipers, used brake master cylinder and booster from non ABS fj80. I've spaced the booster about a 1/4" from the firewall and I spaced the MC a 1/4" from the booster. I've bench bled the MC and bled...
I have an '87 bestop soft top in mint shape that was given to me. I have all bows and front channel but I am missing the bow brackets that hold them to the truck.
I am going to make the brackets out of rectangular channel but I need the dimensions: spacing between both bows at the attachment...
Approximately 7 months ago I had the engine out of the truck and replaced all of the seals, clutch, etc. This has been a frame off resto so the truck has been sitting for 1.5 years. The other day I noticed some oil on the ground. I crawled underneath the truck and saw a little bit of oil between...

I went to Costco today to pick up two batteries for my 1981 BJ42 but they had a couple of listings in their catalogue. Does anyone know the proper group size, CCA, and reserve capacity for the 3B diesel?
I cleaned up my old radiator and used regular rustoleum gloss black spray paint. I'm now thinking I should have used a high heat paint instead. Anyone have any experience with using regular spray paint versus high heat and did it hold up?
I am looking for a 79+ FJ/BJ40 tub in decent condition in the BC, Washington area. I would consider something in Oregon if it is in good shape. Let me know what you have.
I have a 1981 BJ42 (Canadian model) and I recently spoke to centech wiring. They said they don't have the proper harness for a 24 volt system. I thought you could use a 12 volt wiring harness for a 24 volt system. From my understanding a 12 volt wiring harness has a lower guage wire, which would...
Approximately 2 months ago I put brand new output shaft seals on my split transfer case. I filled it up with oil and I didn't notice any leaks. 2 weeks ago I began to measure the shock mounts by checking droop. A few days later I noticed a drip of oil beginning to form on the outer metal ring of...
After installing new TRE on my old Tie rod I am now thinking about getting a beefier and straighter tie rod. I think I already know the answer to my question but will I be able to remove the old tie rod with the TRE still attached to the steering linkage? Can I simply unscrew the old tie rod and...
I need to replace my gas tank and I'm having a hard time trying to find the right one. Can anyone suggest where to get at tank that will fit an '81 3B Bj42?
I have come across a gas tank on rockauto that is a Spectra product for $182. It says it's the right one for my truck. My only other...

Does anyone know if a vendor is reproducing the rear, forward facing bench seats in an Aussie 40 series or if there is something similar out there already? See the link provided for more clarity. It's the second picture on the second page...
I am redoing the SOA on my 1981 BJ42 and I can't remember where the tie rod that is supposed to go through the tie rod with the hole in it on the passenger side is supposed to go. I currently have the double knuckle arm like the one MAF sells. The threaded end is longer than the rest of the...
