Well, an SJ's crown jewel is it's lightness. Don't forget, although the body is steel, it's only thin sheet. The engines are alloy, and because of the lack of weight and Rover V8, the transmission's light too. Also, small fuel tank, less fuel, less weight.
There's three ways of doing things:

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