Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Now, i need to know for sure or not whether my fourby is classified as a bundera? Some people say that bundy's are only mid wheel bases with coil suspension, and mine is a SWB with leaf spings. Can someone help me classify my car? Here are some piccys to help you out

Cheers
Glen

BTW thanks to Heathx4 for taking the pics

what does it say on the complience plate?

i agree, bundies are coil sprung

you have #j70

Its an FJ70 coz its a petrol

Oh all the bunderras i have seen, it has a little plastic decal thingy saying "Bunderra" on the pillar between the door and the rear window, cant see in any of those photos.

Unless of course, the person before u did a coil conversion on the leaf MWB for you

NAM is corect, all bundera's are coil sprung, as you have a 2 peice front gaurd, leaf springs and look to be stuck in a hole no Bundera would be stuck in you have a heavy duty 70 series land cruiser.

MY45, how did you work that out? it could be 4 or 5 diferant engines, did go by it not having a diesel badge on the grill or did you see some thing else on the pic's, or did you enlarge the pic and read the engine# from the rego sticker .

I am not certain of this but I think only the hard tops had this badge
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers for backing me up my45, maybe one day spazbot will come out with us and we will see how his lockers face up against my heavy right foot (Trust me, it is just as effective )

3Fs arent that little.

THATS RIGHT!!!

not big enough for me tho

Go the heavy duty Landcruiser shorty fj70. One piece rear windows, no rear seats, cruiser running gear, leaf springs, 3f or 3b 5 speed only.
Had a bj70 some time ago.

Amen to that brother

stick a 1hz in there

1hz's arent the cheapest motors to find unfortunately.

while were at it

stick a 1hz-t in it

Where a 1hz will fit....so will a 1hdft multivalve

Shadow wrote:1hz's arent the cheapest motors to find unfortunately.

they're not that expensive. can be had second hand for under $4k, they're around $7k brand new but that does not include all the peripherals and brackets so the conversion gets expensive to do if you but a new motor. BUT you also need the 1HZ to H55F bellhousing and a different transmission input shaft, which will stack up the $$.

while were at it

stick a 1hz-t in it

no such thing, but a 1HD-T or 1HD-FT would be a nice swap! (better to get a whole wrecked 80 series to get the motor, gearbox and transfer from, expect to pay at least 10k)

So Glen1n, what exactly have you got .If I got it right you have a 3F swb with coil springs.If so you have a rare coil sprung landcruiser that normally dont come to Australia.I think they usually go to S/America or for internal use in Japan.

rosco did you even read the first post?

from the factroy there is NO coil sprung heavy duty *J7x's

keep it simple and get a 13bt donk can get em for cheap $$$$$ and they go like the clappers.... you wood be flying in a bundy

a 13B-T is not a simple or cheap swap in a bundy. you have to transplant the gearbox and transfer, driveshafts, radiator, custom shroud, front springs, and 13B-T's aren't that cheap, at least as much as a 1HZ last time I tried to find one.

they will bolt into a BJ70 but to put one in a FJ70 you need to change at least the bellhousing and transmission input shaft, which requires almost complete disassembly of the transfer and gearbox, and the shaft itself is quite expensive from toyota, over $300. might also need to change the front engine mounts.

they are a great motor though, near bulletproof and buckets of torque, a lot better with a bigger aftermarket turbo and intercooling.

Its not a bundy as it has leaf suspension its just an FJ70..............

Sorry to dissapoint, but it has leaf springs as my45 pointed out.

Thanks for everyones help

BTW is it safe to spring over the SWB or is there to much risk of rolling it off road with the higher centre of gravity?
