Hi all, i'm looking for opinions on the BJ71 and the KZJ71. I realise there are probably more BJ owners here but thats ok...
So what are the good and bad points about each vehicle? Is the KZJ a better onroad car and the BJ a better offroad performer?
How do the BJ's ride on-road? Are they comfortable? How do they travel at speed (110km/h) are they happy to cruise along all day at 110?
The KZJ has a less reliable engine from what i read?
I assume the BJ's are more easily modified than the KZJ (i'm in Aus), I understand that a lot of 75 series parts fit the 71?
What sort of suspension work can be done to the BJ to make it a serious offroader? Are they easily modified to flex well without dramatically sacrificing onroad handling?
I'm just trying to get some discussion started regarding these 2 vehicles. I'm looking to upgrade my LJ70 and love the short 70's. I'm after something with a bit more power and cruising ability than the 2.4 without using too much fuel. I know the BJ is a tougher vehicle but my LJ has served me well so the KZJ is also an option.
The more opinions the better
Cheers
