Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well it seems my bj has become a statistic, stolen on fri night so if any one sees a beige 42 with an early model grill in the scrub some where would appreciate a call planning the build of this truck kept me sane for 2 tours in the ghan. anyone seeing or offered parts in the vic ph 0419747241 ...

probably look at what engine it has in it as bj40 came out with 4cyl engines all below 4.2 litres if it is still a diesel it might be a 1 hz and if the conversion is done right would be a goer. Look for rust in chassis and pretty much every where else windscreen surround floors rear quarters also ...

If its your gearbox that is stuffed a 5 sp out of a 60s or 75s bolt on your transfer and shifter cover if it isnt the same. if its the tranny then a 40s one will bolt on if you cant rebuild.

From memory when the steering box gets sloppy you can get a bit of play lift up the bonnet and turn the wheel whilst looking how much the the flexible coupling moves should give you an idea if it is the box or not. You can tighten up the box as well there is a screw adjuster and lock nut on the side ...

sounds like it may be ur glow plug timer

found mine located under the bonnet on the LH side on the inner guard over the wheel.

I have one in my shorty it looks like the transfer case is larger than the original and the fact that it has Fairey stamped in the alloy makes me think that you have to seperate the transfer case to instal. I have had a couple in dare I say it rovers and they are not particulary strong especially if ...

Cheers Sounds about right oh well good time to chuck a swivel hub kit thru as well. any other advice on fitment going to use a fj55 column hopefully a bubs custom plate kit with crush tubes and the GM power steering pump with either a cooler or at least cooling tubes any one had any probs with a GM ...

will the 75s TRE fit into the stock 40s steering arms if so I can just use a 75s tie rod? and of course change the pitman arm from 60 to 75 if the tre are different
Cheers

I may have missed something but why do you need to use 75 series steering arms when doing a 60s into 40s pwr steer conversion?

Cheers guys,
Just what I was after

Anyone know of a supplier of an axel and bearing Assy to weld on to a home made wheel carrier or what else have you used?
cheers

Yep will bolt into a FJ 45 the chassis mounts are the same for the 2f and the 2H the tricky part is that you will have to replace the gearbox support bracket it should already have the holes drilled and captive nuts welded inside the chassis rails for the L brackets that bolt to the gearbox support ...

pretty sure that they never had one.

About to go out and purchase a new set of shocks the springs are only 2in over standard so nothing to wild, hoping to learn what has worked for others or what hasnt
cheers

alternativly a 75 series bullbar from the wreckers will fit should be plenty around cheap. just have to watch the headlight spacing.

cool thanks all for your insight, sounds like it is doable just need to massage the front pumpkin mount with a grinder, what about rotating the diff upwards to reduce driveline angle or is that playing with fire?
Cheers

Thoughts on 60's axels under a swb 40 anyone done it any major probs other than moving the spring mounts?

Mate grab as late a model as you can find the 2H is a reliable motor and with plenty made parts are quite cheap. watch for oil around the rear bell housing as they have a habit of chewing rear main oil seals not to hard to fix just dont push them back in as far. 4spd is fine for the speeds you ...

Just grab a standard 45,s shaft as they are longer in the models without pwr steer.
