Ways to do up ur 70/74 series

[bj74noob]

Hi people

Im thinking of doing something to my bj74, but I dont know what yet. Its quite a stock standard 4WD, and I'm looking to individualise it a bit.

Im hoping some people have tales of ways to do up this sort of vehicle, whether it be interior, exterior, mech, or even paint (there's not even a sticker kit on)

Pics would be great too.

Check out Reader's Rides for ideas...but if you;re planning on building a lowrider with velvet interior....you might catch some grief here....

LOL Then start with a"IH8MUD' sticker. Then most of what you do unless its radical will look like every one elses truck. Best get it sorted mechanicaly then go for aftermarket springs, wheels, turbo, sterio, seats. paint job, etc etc. Depends on your budget, sky is the limit. AND post pics, cheers.

We are all doing similar things because we want our cruiser to perform offroad in a similar fashion according to the local terrain (I think we have nearly every continent represented here

I guess we add/build things to be practicle 1st and ashtetic 2nd.

If you want your cruiser to be practicle and suit your asthetic tastes then you could design and build your own bullbar,side bars ,sliders.
For the interior you could design and build your own shelving and storage as some of the owners have done here(and to a high standard)

Im planning on painting my cruiser this year time and money permitting but it will be a 2 pack white because I want it to be easy to match if it gets scratched.

For my interior I plan on fitting Michelles Sacs canvas seat covers front and rear.

Having been there, white can be very hard to match if everything is not right. A silver or any other darker color would be easier to match. For what it's worth

Put in a pyrometer and boost gauge, then crank up your boost and fuel a little. Then spring it over and put 37"s on...the stickers can come later.
