Here's my Aussie 1980 BJ42, picked it up a few weeks ago and will be my DD when I'm not away for work... The person who owned it before me didn't like the factory beige so they decided flat black would be better.

Stock suspension - probably sagging
235/85 R16 tyres.
Clicked over to 450,000 km on the way home from purchasing and still runs beautifully.

Drive every day to work.

nice rig Xena, looks like your work garage ceiling gave you about 6 inches to work with!!

Drive every day to work.

You drive that rig in the winter in Illinois? You're game. How do you keep the salt from making it disappear before your eyes?

 

[Weber Sarge]

Probably the same way I do with mine - keep it clean and wash that junk off whenever you get a chance...

I guess I never did post to this thread. My 1981 BJ42 has been my DD for a little over a year. I love it. I turboed it this winter.

Australian Daily Driver

Here is my daily driver, 83 BJ42, was soft top, drove it for nearly 6 years like that, got it back on the road just on a month ago back as a hard top.

You can definitely find something in good condition under $10,000. Honestly I would try to find one that is fairly original and mostly rust free somewhere in the $8000 dance and see if they would be wiling to set the other $2,000 aside for any maintenance or additions you would like to make to the 40.
Just so you know, they are loud and slow. Yet one of my favorite things to drive! It's an awesome rig and will get you anywhere!

I'm sure you might catch some flack for considering a jeep on this forum...

Go landcruiser, not enough young guys drive 40's anymore. Every 18-22 year old gets a jeep..

Good luck!

Except for me! I'm 17 and own one

What tires are those? They look like they are not made any more (since I like them). Great looking rig.

These are Toyo Open Country M/T size 33x10.50 R15

Fit the stock wheels perfectly!

How are they at speed? And by speed, I do mean at 55+ if it goes that high. I've heard tires of that ilk can be squirrelly.

Haven't seen much action in here lately. Here is a pic of my daily driven 40 taking a bath in the river

 

[Fantasma-4x4]

Not exactly clean, but in a washing process. Yeah, is my daily driver, for every year the last 14 years.


Best..

Here's my 77. Not clean in this pic (out playin in the mud with the kiddos) but I drive it every day since the tranny went out on my 4runner.
