LJ70 V KZJ70 Parts Compatability

[OldyTheMule]

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have recently undertaken a complete engine swap from a KZJ70 and implanted into a mint 1991 LJ70 shell. The KZJ70 shell was a complete rot box and I inherited a mint LJ70 with a genuine 7000 miles on the clock.

I just wanted to know the official verdict on the parts compatability between the KZJ70 & LJ70. Do they share all the same steering components like shockers, springs & steering pump or am I wise to weight everything in?

I know very little about these machines except how they are great offroad & in the snow.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the club.

Most parts are the same.

The KZJ70 brakes are slightly bigger, but apart from that there the same.

I wouldnt weigh any of it in apart from the rusty shell. 70's are fairly rare in the UK and second hand parts fetch good money.

is there compatible shock absorber for KZJ79 ? /Rancho or Bilstein/
