As I search for a 60 to buy I've been gravitating towards importing from Europe vs. buying an American rig. Reading through old threads on this forum people describe the 12HT as meaningfully more powerful than the 2F, and much more comfortable to drive 70mph on the highway. However, when I look at specs the 12HT has 134hp/232 lbft and the 2F has 135hp/200 lbft. Quite similar.
The cost to my door of a good, low rust rig is pretty similar for an '87 FJ60 as it is for a European '89 HJ61. But the Euro rig has the downside of parts availability, an annoying 24volt electrical system, and I'd need to source + install air conditioning. Is the 12HT + H55 really that much better that it's worth the trouble?
