I have the idea of what I want to do, using ABS to use that space for USB/USB C power, switches, HAM radio cable connector.
I have not completed this though.
It is pretty reliable, option of adding a supercharger, not as much maintenance as a diesel, I live in a cold climate and diesel's do not like the cold :-)
Also the horsepower. I don't care about MPGs but I do care about range and I have the 40 gallon LRA tank. Also I do not tow, which is...
I have seen many of their restoration videos, amazing work.
I am sticking with the 5.7 until it explodes. After doing research into the 5.7 the last few days, I have come to respect it.
In the past two days I have read up so much on the 3UR-FE 5.7 that I have now grown fond of it and have a new found respect and interest for it. Crazy how my love of diesel engines has grown my love for the 5.7 :-)
"That thing won't even get out of its own way on the interstate." You made me spit out my coffee lol

I do have an...
Yeah many other markets get the 200 diesel but not the US. I have seen many swaps done in older Land Cruiser like 80 Series. I also saw someone on YT swap a VW diesel into their FJ Cruiser.
Oh yeah I am sure it would be expensive, I think with the older vehicles like 80 Series it is less...
Just curious if anyone has done a diesel swap on a U.S. 200 LC.
I know most love and swear by the 5.7 but was curious. I love and prefer diesel engines and can't wait to see the new Ram Rebel 2500 with the Cummins that is coming soon, so I hear.
I like my 200 but I would love it if it had a...

Yeap, installed a shorter but fatter filter, which works for this engine displacement. I will post pics but it is in the shop getting a Slee front bumper, winch and other goodies.
I am having their new front bumper installed with a winch, the Baja Designs light bar for that bumper and the two Baja Designs S2 Pros.
Also a Gamivity custom rack. All getting installed next week, will post some pics of course. Getting heavy as well.
