Lowered asking price again. Still seeing a fair bit of offers on individual parts (people really seem to want those ambulance doors & jump seats), but I'm still avoiding breaking it up for now.
Not looking to part it out at this point in time, though I've gotten more than a little interest in the H55F and the jump seats. I may conceivably part with the jump seats since the roll cage interferes with them anyway, but I'd really rather sell the entire thing and let the next owner decide...
Price reduced to $13,750. I've had several inquiries about various parts for sale, but for the moment I'm trying to keep it together as a package. May sell the jump seats since the roll cage interferes with them anyway, though.
1980 BJ40 from Costa Rica with turbocharged 3B. Good condition mechanically (aside from alternator). Previously a B engine, but swapped by a PO with a 3B + Nissan turbo sourced from Canada. Unknown miles on the engine, but I encountered no signs of any problems requiring work when driving it. My...
I've got a BJ40 with a 3B + turbo that I'm (sadly) going to be getting rid of. I picked up in running condition and made a project of it, then reluctantly realized that the parts for it are going to be a dealbreaker in terms of it being a daily driver. Too much downtime getting replacements...
Spore,
Mine is, as far as I know, still working but far enough gone that it isn't worth putting it in with the rebuild. The alternator shop said there wasn't even much reason to test it.
The original I had was a cheapo SA unit as far as I can tell. It failed, and I figured I'd take it apart to...
Anyone ever confirm if the NPR alts work fine with nothing more than a different bracket? Is it possible to modify existing brackets to fit, or does it really require an all new part? Little wary about just trying to make a new mount since I've never done that before, and the last thing I want...
So I've been fiddling around with a rebuild for a while (more thinking than doing, sadly). My big goals are taking care of the rust and body problems with my BJ40, addressing all the little mechanical issues, and then doing some upgrades depending on my remaining budget once those items are...
Evidently they can't source the bearings/seals needed, since it's an older coarse-spline model. Guessing they don't share the same seals as the fine spline ones do, for whatever reason.
Straight bolt-up solution? Are they still in production (or at least all the parts needed to rebuild them)...
So I've been slowly gearing up for a rebuild for a while, figuring that with my old alternator having failed and a garage big enough to do the job, I may as well. It's a 1980 BJ40 with a 3B in it, 12v. Part of that rebuild is, of course, dealing with the alternator. My old one gave out, so I...
I've got a little Seekonk 1/4 drive torque wrench I use for gunsmithing for the in/lbs stuff, though I'd certainly prefer something a bit less delicate for truck work. If I've got the budget I'll pick up two. The big honkin' one comes first -- and I'd prefer to buy a single good wrench over two...
My manual is boxed up somewhere currently beyond easy reach, but I've managed to find myself a bit of money for some tools, so I figured I'd pick up a torque wrench or two. The important question for this buy is, what range do I need to cover?
So, in a nutshell, what're the min/max torque specs...
So I've half-started a rebuild of my BJ40 (really just stripping off seats and such and starting to chew through a ton of bondo to see how bad the metal is underneath at this point) and I've been put in an interesting position. Due to an unexpected opportunity to change career paths (laid off)...
Yeah, I think Eddy's got it right with #52. My hardtop is halfway disassembled in the garage, stalled while I figure out the best way to clean it up right. I seem to remember a wad of some sort of rubbery thing completely covered in caulk/sealer of some sort that I assume was supposed to be a...
