all sjs should do 70 if they are set up well and have a good engine. they were designed to be able to do motorway speeds! my old 970cc lump with 31s would even get there eventually :lol:

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Tidy looking zook, nice find :)

As for the 70mph thing, previous owner said mine would with a 970cc and a 4 speed, though I've not had chance to try it yet. :twisted:
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

:welcome: Welcome to the club. Very tidy looking sj you have there 8-)

I dont think you will get those 31s on a standard sj. You will probably need a minimum of 2" lift and some wheel spacers, and even then you may need to do some minor adjustments to the inner arches with a hammer. :twisted:

They do look like a good set of tyres tho.

:smokin: really pleased with the fact its costing time and materials to weld up. quite a bargain really picked up for five hundred spent two on service bits and bobs just considering another engine something more fuel friendly what with prices.. cheers for the heads up on the tyres did look a little extreme :mrgreen:
