Oops, there is no “E”.
Nevertheless, is there someone who has one that can say how it handles highway speeds? 95hp is adequate for a lot of things, my westfalia does almost well enough with 65.
I'm looking at a couple of these...sounds capable but what's it like on the highway? Cruising speed, towing capacity and such? I'm grateful for any input.
Thanks! I have read a bunch of conversion stories, and have noticed (as others have remarked also) that there seem to be more conversions for sale than there are stories of happy conversion owners...
OK, I use (and intend to continue using) this 1984 FJ60 as a daily driver, fire roads, some backcountry but not anything extreme. Near-stock suspension and wheels.
I've searched the archives: lots of opinions!
I've re-engined several cars: from 911s to VW campers. This isn't new to me, I know...
Brought it home. $3500 . Speedometer says 55, GPS says 71. Clearly no compensating calibration!
The shackles are 7 inches, center-center. What are stock?
I'm still thinking less lift and stock tires. Now for the search for rims that fit, 15-16s. Remember, I'm aiming at a DD with excess...
