Good to know the engine will run for a while more. and yeah, if you can show me that bracket that would be helpful. Thanks much.

I had considered that option, but as mentioned, it requires changing the nose of the LJ70's and a bunch of other stuff. The light duty LC's were designed around a 4cyl, so the inline 6 doesn't readily fit. Plus, a used 1HDT costs as much as the new Cummins R28. Im sticking with a swap that...

Thanks Clint!!

I’ll take a look again at the tag next time im back where I store it see what it lists. If you look closer, the top of the picture is right below the part of the firewall where the tag is located. This is intentional.

Body is great on it. I plan on keepig the thing for a long while, so dont mind goig different with a cummins. That said, another toyota diesel wouldnt be bad either, i suppose. Good info about the trans. Thanks.

Thanks! Yeah. Left hand drive. California certainly has its ups and downs...

Thanks Clint. Thats the hope. And yeah, I cant argue the find. Just need to learn. It has a nitro gas ironman lift on it right now that is a little tired. I think Im going to go with the dobinson lift, but have not decided yet. Looking at ironman foam cell; ome; and dobinson. Dobinson has the...

Thanks. Not much in the way of service type records. 200k km on it, but its a one owner garage kept car that seemed to be in great shape and well maintained/cared for. Started right up and drove great.

Doing that as well. I need it to run for about 8 months before i start the cummins r28 conversion.... Thanks all

It is, but I have zero intent of ever letting the state of california know it exists.....although I think once you title and register it in another state as a diesel engine vehicle, you can then title and register it in the People's Communist Republic of California.....

Hey all- found a one owner 1987 LJ70 I couldnt pass up while Im overseas, snagged it to bring it back. It's rust free, and "needs" nothing, so I get to start with "wants". Signing on here to start learning and getting smart on the chassis and figuring out where to get parts. I'll be looking...
