    Anyone know where I can get a replacement H/top for my BJ41

    yes it will fit but you will want to double check there is no rust in the corners of the hard top and no rust at the bottom of the doors. you will also need all new weather seals. do forget to get the bars that go over all the doors, these are ofter lost and you would fit the roof without them

    battery light comes on when the headlights are turned on!

    my bet is when the light is on you don`t have 14.4,,you may find its just the terminals in the pug have corroded and gone green in the back of the alternator and need some spray

    Hi Chaps Lead is lead,,,its the other stuff in recycled lead that causes a problem.

Saying lead is lead is like...
