Tigerstripe40

The had one, briefly, for 2 years in 86 and 87. 22RTE Replaced with the (in)famous 3.0 V6. I had a v6 2nd gen manual and loved it. Thought the engine threw a rod and basically gave it away. Turned out to be the harmonic balancer.

I have been waiting patiently for a turbo 4. After having a lightly modified twin scroll turbo, the Borg Warner K03 completely broke my expectations of torque from engines less than 100 cu in, let alone ~140 cu in.

Why would you want to do this? Since it's offered in a TNGA-F platform in other markets, it would likely be a task of getting the complete wiring harness and ECUS that need to go along with it. I bet Toyota 1 makes 1 digital dash that is fed by...

I don't see how this is all that different from the J250 Land Cruiser with the exception of the following notes: Part time T-case. Hybrid as an option. Different trim levels to fit different budgets. Front clip crossover to 4th gen Tacoma...

A CPO Land Cruiser was WAY out of my budget at the time, let alone a new one. And I wanted something with a factory warranty.

To a certain point, I'd disagree. IF you buy cars every couple of years, say 4-5 years, yes, buying a new Land Cruiser (or any 4x4 Toyota, really) is a disreepct of your own money, though less so than other brands that lose 50% of their value in...

Bumping this to the top. Got the Air cleaner assembly back from the powder coater. I had to peel the gasket out of the top lid to be able to powder coat. Is there something I can use to replace that as it doesn't appear to be available any...

I personally think the kits are worth it. The little round chrome air filters are as bad as the Weber things

More and more of our in-stock inventory going live on CruiserTeq.com

It's quite a bit more than that, to be honest. You need to change out the transfer case as well, but it will bolt up to the 2F '4 speed' bellhousing. There are modifications you'd need to do to the transfer case hump, modify driveshafts. It's...

It's doable, but the 3.73s are the most expensive gearsets. What does 'more highway friendly' really mean to you? You're going to have less 'giddy up go' feeling and more overall top speed, but really, 4.11s will get your truck to 65-70mph...

If Toyota followed Fords marketing drivel, eg: "The F Series pickup is the best selling vehicle in the world" -they combine F150, F250, F350 and F450 together in those numbers... Sales of the Hilux, Tacoma, Tundra, and J79 Land Cruiser would...

If I really wanted to irritate people, I'd get a custom badge that says: Bronco III

I think getting the PRADO badge from overseas might be sufficient.

You forgot: It doesn't have a removable top. It doesn't have a solid front axle. It doesn't have an inline 6 or diesel 4 cylinder motor. :D

TRDOR 4th gen Tacomas are pushing $54k, and dealerships have a mile long waiting list of people willing to pay that, and thats not even the hybrid model. I don't really understand what Toyota is doing with the J250 platform. It seems like there...

I wish I had never sold my '83 truck with 22R/MT and long bed

4 door long bed manual with the TRD Off Road package would be awesome. I don';t suppose a 6 speed swap would be too difficult to do, but for offroading either a dual t-case or Atlas4 would be the way to go.

Auto vs manual it's personal preferance. I drove a 76 FJ40 with an SM420 conversion (has a 7:1 first gear, but it was effectively a 3 speed on the street, not really that big of an issue, though). Countless trips around Utah, Nevada...

To me it has nothing to do with money, if I buy a fj40 tub I expect a fj40 tub , not as close as they could get. Now if you tell me, sorry none of the offerings are turn key and the buyer is aware that what they are purchasing may have flaws...

I think the variable here is, how much time will be spent on body work is this topnault tub going to require vs the CCOT tub? For my uses, as I am not looking for a museum quality restoration, if I have to do some fabrication and body work to...

I think a lot of perspective is missing here. I was talking to a renowned Land Cruiser restorer about my FJ40 project to get an idea of price (WAY more than I could afford). I asked if they patched tubs and they told me it's pretty rare that...
