I used a decal kit from these guys and it worked out really well (definitely recommend having a pro install it). I think this is the same body style as the 77 but don't take my word for it, I have a 74. When I first looked for a kit there was someone out of Australia selling them on...
I asked Coastal about this when I bought the kit and they didn't think it would be a good idea, but it might be worth revisiting with them because I believe I am the first to do this install.
No problem!
I had the guy who welded it up for me keep track of the mods he had to do (sadly welding is not a skill I've had a chance to develop yet) and I'll share them once I get a minute to put the thread together.
It has to do with the fender/valance change that happened between the early and late 70 series. My fenders end higher up than the late model fenders. You can see a bit of what I'm talking about here looking at my original bumper compared to the CO bumper. Look at how much more material is on the...
Long time coming for an update on the BJ74:
Adapted and powdercoated Coastal Offroad's late 70 series front bumper (posting a build thread on this)
There's a spot for a winch but I think I'd have to extend the mounting points on the frame a bit to fit one in, for now I just wanted to have the...
No worries, I forgot about that.
I just had an idiot moment too - it should be a FF axle right? I've only had US market rigs before and all were SF.
It's a K085 and the few references I've seen on mud are always preceded by "if I remember correctly..." as opposed to a definitive answer.
I think I'm picking up what you're laying down. Do you think it would work in reverse?
And I thought the SF cables were NLA (which is why I was looking at FF cables), do you think you could still order one?
Thanks Onur, do you happen to know if I would be able to modify it to work? Either through adjustments or possibly cutting a portion off (not sure if it would need a new ferrule)?
Anyone have any experience replacing their parking cables? I've got an 89 BJ74 and it binds every time I use it. I've tried to smooth any rough spots and lubricate it but I haven't been able to make it useable. The part number for mine is 46410-60250 (for semi float axle) and is replaced by...
Take a look at this thread:

Not sure about your rig, but my BJ74 outside sensor was on the RH front bumper in a small metal enclosure. The inside sensor has eluded me but I haven't put that much effort into searching for it. I did notice there was a vented...
If you're interested in RHD mats you should contact beno. If he gets another 6 or 7 people interested he might do another order. There's 2 people, myself included, on the list now.
