Gents,
John here and am a new member from Virginia. I've been doing a lot of research and this forum which has been great help. I'm a member of numerous car forums and this is probably the best out there.
I currently have a lifted 98 Jeep Wrangler but she's going down the road and will be replaced with a 40. So, I'm considering purchasing an imported 1977 BJ40 with the B engine. I believe that this was an imported Costa Rica vehicle with a heater delete. It it legally titled in a US state so I won't have issues with registering it in my state.
I've done some vehicle restorations in the past and am aware of improper body work thats been concealed with a new paint job. However, if anyone has things worthy to note in my overall inspection, I'm not too proud to turn my head to good advise.
Overall, I'll take any information on these diesel trucks; good or bad. Just tell me what to look at and I'll be all over it. This vehicle was recently listed on eBay but didn't sell. I don't know if anyone viewed it but it was yellow and appeared to have mag style wheels. Not that I liked the look but I was going to do a full restoration to include body and paint.
I appreciate everyone's input.
John
