awesome little 4X4 that is :D, I was going to post a video response to it (the vid I did when I visited last) but Google deleted that function, so meh!, no video of it earlier on.
V8Jagnut yeh thats pretty expensive ;(, I would offer up Blue but I think Betty would feel lonely if I did that :p I can get a Jeep Wrangler for 1/4 that price anyway :p
Aussie50 mmm someone will pay that for it because its a real clean body and the B diesel is rather rare now. i would rather a toyota over a wrangler. i like the old jeeps tho.
So, I have a question about these old diesels. How do you start them? In a modern day pickup, (in my case Chevy Silverado 2500HD) You just turn the key one click until you see the little squiggle light (glow plug, but looks more like a pigs tail) go out, then you turn they key and your golden. Is the glow plug button the button above the ignition?

it is a fun thing. you should buy it :D. oww thats googled. i did not notice that.
V8Jagnut lol how much is he asking for it?, I do recall he paid too much for it to begin with so I bet I cannot afford it :p
Aussie50 12'000 or so. thats what he pay for it but he spent heaps on it. you could offer a rav4 as trade in.lol.

on the one you turn the key back past lock to glow it the go forward to get to acc and ign and start.
Oh, so its not much more different than a modern day? Apart from sounding better, and a carbueretor?
SlickNicklol lol. diesels not have carby. but yes works the same. direct injection diesels not need glow plugs.
(This is why I stick to gasoline engines) Okay, makes sense.
Haha! That looked Burke Road to me at one point! Nice and Green this time of year here in Burwood also!
lol yep. good hill to wind it out in 3rd on :D.
One of these on ebay uk recently sold for the silly side of £10,000, which at a rough guess would be about $18,000 Aus
Nice Diesel Motor - Good Job.
This thing beats the new FJ cruiser!!
thep. them new ones look shit.
It is easy to find one in Australia in average running condition ? It at least in good enough condition to start a restoration project?
have you got any tips for a bj40 engine that uses up a lot of oil? what would be the most likely cause?
you can put a 13B-T in those old ones quite easily
am i like the only one that rolls up to red lights/stop signs in neutral lol...
