. It has 65,500 km’s right now, so about 40,700 miles...it’s not broken in. I took the original spark plug wires off of it when I got it!

40,700. My odometer is in kilometers.

I took off the rear bumper for a good cleaning. I also wanted to repaint the rear crossmember and polish the step plate. I found a bit of surface rust and prepped/painted it. I also spent 4 hours polishing the aluminum step plate. The step plate isn’t perfect now, but looks a lot better.

People will knock the price and the 3FE...but the 3FE is a very reliable motor that doesn’t have headgasket issues (not usually). Granted, it has 50 less horsepower. That truck looks clean and well maintained. Some people would rather get one cheap, then dump $1,000’s in basic maintenance and...

Installed a cup holder with zip ties.

Speakers are falling apart. Original exhaust is getting rusty. That’s about it!

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 70 PICK UP | 2014 | GOLD M | 21,804 km | details.- Japanese used cars.Goo-net Exchange Out of curiosity, I looked to see what is available to me here in Japan. This one came up...for the low price of about $38k. But I would not be able to import it. TOYOTA LAND CRUISER...

Are you sure it's the brakes? Try pulling the caliper and turning before you throw parts at it...it might be something else.

A cylinder head gasket kit from rock auto is $70. Why don't you try replacing the head gasket and flushing the motor with Walmart oil? You'd be out for the time in labor, but the engine might be fine. There was still oil in it...just mixed with coolant. After all, it's a cast iron 3FE...

I've got that skid plate and a factory carrier. Let me know if you need pics of stuff.

Damn. Really getting high on the kilometers.

That's one way to kill a 3FE. Good luck and can't wait to see where this goes!

I've seen plenty of manufacturers make MPG improvement claims. They are trying to sell you something. Would you buy it if they told you it decreases mileage? I challenge you to ask them for proof of increase and their test methods. If you want it for the power, go for it.

I don't believe you are going to get a 10% improvement in mileage...if the only reason you want a turbo kit is a mileage improvement, don't waste your money. But let's say you will get a 10% improvement. If you are currently getting 13 mpg and gas is $3.50 a gallon, a 10% increase would be...

I'd be interested to see how much work was involved swapping. I have a RHD with only 64k KMs...I plan on importing it but I'll keep it RHD. It's too nice to try and swap sides.
