Secret of the Incas doesn't just have the IJ look, the character is similar, and he used a golden medallion and the sun to find a treasure location just like IJ does-and he gets betrayed by a rival just like IJ does.
Tales of the Gold Monkey was a decent rip off--It tried to emulate a Terry and the Pirates vibe so it wasn't entirely the same (nazis do appear in the pilot film).
Bring Em Back Alive I dont remember too well.
Treasure of the Four Crowns was the most blatant IJ cash in released in the early 80s-and also in 3d.
There were a few others that werent so much rip offs as using the same kind of title:
The Ark of the Sun God
The Hunters of the Golden Cobra
Jungle Raiders
Tom Selleck's Lasseter may have also been inspired by Raiders--in that he was supposedly the original choice for Indiana Jones (I am skeptical though--given how much Harrison Ford resembles Charlton Heston and the obvious debt that IJ owes to the Harry Steele character).
