I had an LJ50 Suzuki as an apprentice in the 90's. No roof, no doors. Took the two stroke out and fitted a Datsun 1600 motor and 4speed and LJ80 diffs (100mm wider and 4:1 instead of 5:1 if I remember) Kept blowing rear drive shaft Uni joints so cut down a Torana tail shaft and machined adaptor plates.
Cut and spun around F100 Sunraysia rims to get enough clearance on the steering components and fitted them with 31 X 10.5 Kumho mud tyres. Was an awesome vehicle and went everywhere on land and under water ! Wish I still had it. It drank a 30litre tank of fuel very quickly however. 3000 rpm at 60kph and around 5000rpm at 100kph. That datto motor however would pull those revs all day without a problem. I'll have to find some pics.
