decided to pass for now
hey folks,
I decided to pass on the BJ73 above for some fairly irrational reasons most likely.
A) it was raining and water was leaking into the lower corners of both the drivers side and passenger side front window. I'm guessing it has something to do with improper...
I'm going to look at this BJ70 tomorrow and it has a pretty funky looking bumper and was wondering if it was sometype of stock bumper at some point or some cheap aftermarket thing - location NSW, Oz. Please take a look...
RE: Working in Oz. --Pretty hard is my understanding. Work VISAs aren't very easy unless you are a KIWI or from the UK, or work for a multi-national that you can transfer with...I did the later. I watched the Sydney to Hobart race start yesterday, even in a misty rain, Sydney harbor is tough to...
thinking about an 84-87 year model
hey,
I'm thinking about a 1984-87 that I could play with for a year or two and then take it back with me to the states. All I've seen on ebay, carsales.com.au and carpoint.com.au so far is SWB, which is fine. BJ73 is cool, is there a corresponding troopie...
hey folks,
I sold my FJ40 before moving from Texas to Sydney and feel the need to have a cruiser again. If anyone knows of a decent Diesel 70 series reasonably close to Sydney, please let me know. Also if you know of a good cruiser repair/service shop in Sydney, I'd like to know that as...
It may sound strange, but I think the problem is somehow related to heat. I had the same thing happen about a year ago, but after sitting for 20 minutes or so, it started again. This problem occured after I had blocked engine heat from coming up the hole in the tranmission hump where the stick...
hey,
Well, I got the tractor home again. I let her sit for a good 2 hours, added two quarts of oil, and reseated all of the plug, distrib and coil wires and she started. I have no idea which was the real issue, guess I'll just replace the distrib to coil wire sense it looks like it once fit...
hey Cruiser folks,
On a typical hot Texas evening, I pulled up to a traffic light to make a left turn and my FJ40 just died. Oil Pressure and temp were fine. The battery still would crank, but the engine will not start. So, I'm guessing its not a battery issue, since it still cranks hard and I...
hey folks,
My FJ40 did fine out at the round-up last weekend including the trip to and from Austin. Saturday I took it out on the highway and it started having a stuttering and backfiring issues when moving into 4th gear. So from a start everything is fine, but when shifting into 4th 'sometimes'...
hey,
pulled the old selectros off my '79 FJ40 and replaced them with some stock assian(sp) manual locking hubs. Found out that I didn't have all the parts when doing this-- was missing the flanged star washer, the star gasket, so now I need to pull the hubs back off to add these. In reading the...
