Even with 33s the "flip the tire carrier" made the tire block the small door on my BJ70. Plus it blocked the wiper arm and, to my eye, looked "off."
I remounted the tire carrier in the normal position and repositioned the studs- 2mm clearance for the door and back to that jaunty angle...
Yeah, where is that forum?

Hey all; the gf is away so I've put up the rig (85 BJ70 LHD) on stands and am upgrading from stock to an OME set from Radd Cruisers' back lot.
I had posted an earlier rambly post about replacing the crossmember but I've figured out how I want to do it; essentially just running a new black...
Thanks derelict- As soon as I ID'd the primary and secondary relays, I just worried about the primary. Clip it from the harness and yes, connect it as you've said, to the left side of your switch.
Maybe it's easier to think of it as: one switched power in (->) MOMENTARY SWITCH (->a) wire to...
After reading pages and pages of "Wilson switch" search results and Greg_b's post, which is the main basis for the whole shebang (and the progenitor of the name, natch) I thought I would post up my process for a Canadian 85 LHD BJ70- not to hijack this thread but since it's 2 years old...

Does this mean you're going to have square mounts for the rocksliders to make them removable? Love to see pics when you do it!
Really nice clean work on the front bumper too.
Hey all- thought I might repost this here since it's basically a frame-welding question...
My Canadian 85 BJ70 (338K) is pretty well stock with standard western Canada rust that I'm tackling piece by piece, but I've got one major repair to go before I'm ready to install my upcoming full...
Hey all- My Canadian 85 BJ70 (338K) is pretty well stock with standard western Canada rust that I'm tackling piece by piece, but I've got one major repair to go before I'm ready to install my upcoming full OME upgrade...

Nice handbuilt; MT-PTK.
I'll post up my MKE handbuilt OO soon but I'm definitely jealous... PS what kind of rack is that on your 60? Looks like there are two bars projecting back?
Damn, nice rebuild there, 4WD Auto.
And Forealboreal, you mean to say your dad's sitting on essentially my BJ70 but with 4.11 gears and OME? Somebody catch him when spring cleanup is happening and there'll be a happy new BJ70 owner out there...

Good to hear that it's not as rare as it seems. I just went under my (semi) new BJ70 and pulled the drain plug out... basically with my fingers. Not so reassured about the PO...
