Hey Guys, I Imported a 1979 BJ41V from Japan to Jamaica 2 years ago. Its has the 3.2L 2B diesel engine. I've been driving it on Fridays and weekends while I slowly restore it. Its teaching me patience, there's lots to do. I've joined the forum to ask questions and get help. Thanks.

Got it with some accident damage, so i found a paint shop that formulated the authentic single stage enamel finish what was used originally on the car

Changed the slave cylinders and brake shoes, clutch slave cylinder. I order engine service parts from Australia. The 2B engine was used in the Toyota Coaster bus, Dyna Truck also

We gassed the AC and 2 days later it was gone, did a die test and nothing... a tech then told us that the molecules of the new gasses are smaller than the R-12 and actually passes thru the old pipes. so we changed everything. the AC is now working perfectly.

Spent all of Covid driving around the mountainous parts of the island. This is the craziest trip I've made up into the foothills of the Blue Mountains. I'm enjoying the BJ as I slowly fix it.
