I have jumped into the 70 series diesel cruiser world after owning a number of cruisers (40s, 60, 80, 100, 200) over the past 20+ years. I bought this from a fellow MUD member Build - So now I have a BJ74... - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/so-now-i-have-a-bj74.816394/ in the Spring. It is going to be my designated dog hauler and wheeler. It is a bit crusty, but perfect for my intentions as I don't want to worry about bashing the sh$t out of it. Baseline has been completed, rebuilt knuckles, front calipers and a few other odds and ends. New rubber and replaced the JDM bumper with a plug and play bumper from CruiserTeQ. I know I might get roasted, but I ditched the PTO winch and went with a 24V electric winch. I drove it home, 400+ miles, a few weeks ago. It performed well, slow of course, and the auto trans is a dog as most of you know. I don't mind as it will make wheeling it a breeze. No huge plans other than to work out some quirks and just drive it. 1989 JDM BJ74, 13BT, auto tranny, F/R cable lockers.
