IBJOC

Starting my trek to middle America to start a new career with an engine components manufacturer. Their business is actually increasing. I will be TOWING MY 2006 TJ JEEP BEHIND THE BAM. Really. Pics to follow everything is working except the darn gas gage and I'll keep an extra 5 gallons in the back for just in case. Should be interesting. When was the last time anybody saw a BJ pull a 4450 lb car anywhere, come to think of it at highway speeds of 60 mph too! Wish me luck! Jim

All,

Recently I bought a 1987 Bronco II (Applied Concepts extended version) and was suprised to find out that the track and wheel base are almost identical to the BJ. I did my orignal swap with an original small Bronco with a 302 v8, but if there are person(s) out there looking for a chassis and engine option the Bronco II would be a good choice since they are really cheap to buy and the 84-87's get about 30 mpg's....Just a thought. Jim

Caught a break and should start a new job by April 19th in IOWA. Different product but still automotive. Economy 's been rough I have friends who are engineers who have been out of work for a year or more. Seems like a lot of cos. want to buy cheap green card employees from overseas. I don't mind spreading the wealth around but...Please check out Pete's ride in Beijing and note my updated pics, added a 48" jack to the back hitch receiver (made it myself) and then epoxy painted the engine FORD blue and re-did the falling apart cloth? interior.

Do to the downsizing in the economy I've been released from my employer. Oh well, looking for a new endevour. I apologize that I haven't been able to keep up with the site but other things come first. I have had a few people in the US contact about parts, if you look through the links you will see the contact at BAMIEC who has some parts available. BAM has for the most part moved on to bigger and better auto platforms. Try the contact, best of luck and keep them running, there won't be many left in a few years...

Last night I heard a thud outside the house and went outside to check and my Bejing  jeep attacked the house! Seems the Chinese ignition somehow decided to have a meltdown, engaged the jeep starter and it walked into the corner of the house. The Jeep had no damage but the house had a brick or two loosened. 40 dollars later I found a good heavy duty ignition switch at O'Reilleys and she is rolling again. I had to change out the melted leads and I added a touch of super glue to each to keep them from coming off. A few years ago I was off roading and one came loose, making for a real adventure since it was at night. Hope everyone had a safe summer or winter (depending on which half of the planet your on....)                  

Send in some pics of your latest Jeep trk. Jim
