Hi peoples...there are some nice looking 4x4's getting shown off...I hope my BJ73 middy fits in ok fits...Here is a bit of info about my middy....It's a 1985 BJ73 Cruiser with a non-turbo 3.4L diesel. I bought it bog standard about 8 months ago. I always had plans to build it to have fun times on weekends & eventually compete in a few comps in it. Here are a few things that I have done since i've had it, Custom 2.5 inch snorkle, Sports seat for driver, ARB winch bar, Narva driving lights, Front gaurds have been cut for more tyre space, GME UHF & VHF CB radios, 1.5 inch wheel spacers, 6 inch extended brake lines, Diff breathers have been extended up inside the cab, Carpet has been removed, Tough Dog RTC steering damper, 15x8 sunny's with 33x12.5x15 Mickey Thompson MTZ tyres, Standard leaf spring packs with 1 leaf removed from each (REALLY soft & flexy now), Modified top rear shock mounts, Tough Dog shocks for now, Standard diffs have been converteted to spring over & High link steering. |

It's clean in the photos but not IRL  First thing I did was take it offroad Picked it up for a steal off a family friend - paid $7k (that is v.cheap for WA). It is an SSR-X with the 2.4TD, all stock. bigger tires and 2" lift to come Also wouldn't mind an ARB bull bar and ditching the shitty little bunny bar.Pics:   4WD pics will be coming soon, I have my camera with me all the time so there should be a fair few, hopefully of a high-ish quality.

That pretty well covers all that I have done but there is still a huge list of more things to come. Just a few of the things to come are, customized top front shock mounts (along with new longer Pro Comp shocks all round), Cut rear gaurds to make more tyre space, Mechenical locker in the front & Air locker in the rear, Full custom roll cage, 36 or 38 inch tyres, Either new diff ratios or reduction gears for the transfer case & Down the track abit I would like to see if I can find a 4.2L diesel engine for it. I hope you like the sounds of what has been done & what is planned for my cruiser & I will get some more pics of it posted in the next few days including some under body shots of the shock mounts & the diff mods for the spring over. Here are a few pics of my middy before the spring over was done, it just had a set of 2 inch raised springs in it when these pics were taken....It flexes ALOT better. Hope you enjoy a look at my middy and please feel free to leave your comments wether they are good or bad. Cheers Darren      Well thats my ride...She's a good tough old truck...I will get some new pics of it with the spring over and stuff done up asap to share with you all. nice 4bees ppl's keep the pics coming,when you have em |

Hi smiley...I cant belive you sold your middy...They are such a great truck and are so capable with just a few mods...Mine is super capable with all I have done to it and i recon it will be near unstoppable by the time i am finished with it. Your suzzi looks like a real beast...Do you still have it...It would be great to see some more pics of it in action...I hope to be posting some new pics of mine showing the spring over and i am also gunna try to get some pics from underneath it to show the modified shock mounts on the diffs and also th top rear mounts.
