Front End Conversion from BJ7*/Lj7* to HZJ/FZJ/GRJ71

[grj71]

Hi!!

Im new around here i had been searching the web to get some answers for some simple quarries but could not find the information.

here is what im planing to do...In our country we do not have the new shape FZ/GR/HZJ71 available.

i have front fenders, bonnet, grill, lights and bumper of the new shape post 2000 HZj/FZJ/GRJ71.

im planing to bolt these parts to the easily available BJ70 / LJ70.

i would need some expert guidance regarding the vehicle that would be a better and easy option for the upgrade project?

its been done to FJ/BJ70 in KSA but i can not find further details regarding the project. Im more inclined towards converting an LJ7* to this 71 shape if possible.


would appreciate some input

Thanks

Some guys locally have done it, you also need the radiator support, inner guards too. LJ series will need the chassis extension thing done/mounts moved as they are shorter.

Is there any thread here for similar project? If I alter a bj/fj70 would it be Bolt on conversion?

you probably want to factor in that the LJ* has a shorter front chassis/guards/front end than the BJ/FJ/HJ etc models as they only needed to accommodate shorter 4 cyl engines and not the longer 6cyl engines
