BJ74 Cruiser (Bundera

Post by BarneyRubble »

Anyone know anything about these little beasts also klnown as Bundera? Im very close to getting on with very low kms imported from Japan. Some things that people have told me is that they have a bit of body roll... Im looking at the Turbo Diesel. Anyone know anythin??

Push button 4x4 or good old gear stick..??

How much rust... They are a good mid size 4x4. Not sure on parts for the imports though.. Only felt with Aussie ones

The diffs are perfect to stick under sierra's, I am halfway through the conversion at the moment.

BJ 74's (MWB) are 90% HJ75's. Gearbox, engine and seats are the main difference and the imported BJ's are 24volt

Think sheps might be playing with a coil bundera (SWB) RJ70 I think, which basically run hilux gear. Correct me if Im wrong sheps

Have mucked round with both these cars a fair bit. PM if got any questions. :mrgreen:

The 13B engine is in a lot of Toyota trucks in Australia so shouldn't have problems for parts there

Thanks guys, sounds like i might be sending some Pms once arrived on Aussie shores let alone place a bid which Im currently waiting for the right one. Have been offered a couple but one was a petrol and one auto, Dont know what your thoughts are but Im going to try and stick with Manual Diesel. Thanks again for the input.

37s on a Sierra! HEHE i want to see some pics.
I had a Sierra which was registered and lived in Palmerston but every week I cam back from work something else would be missing from it. In the end it had one wheel on it, no stereo. So I gave it to my mate which put a Ironman lift in, new stereo just before all the parts started going missing I put a new exhaust and extractors on it and also had a upgraded carby to go on.

This is with 33s

It should be a bit of a weapon when I am finished. All that will be stock is the grill and I might
have to chop it up so the high mount winch fits. Sticking a 75hp nos kit on it as well, it is gunna be fun to drive.
