Finally got the bj74 back together for a trip out to UT a few weeks ago. Here are a few shots:

I Love this look, perhaps more than the 2020 headlights????
That is an interesting parking job that the 4runner? made there... there must be an interesting story behind that!

Do you have a build thread on this truck?
The right quarter panel is missing one of the fuel doors.
Is that a soft top kit?
I’m new here. Just picked up this LJ78, threw on the Iron Man kit and 35s. Love how it looks, but BOY is it ever slow. Cant even get it over 70km/k on flat highway. I need some help with figuring out my options on getting it more power. Ayuda por favor!
GM LS V8. You are asking way too much of the 2LT.
Finding those in Costa Rica aren't so easy :/
Cummins R2.8?
Possibly. Mine is actually the 2L (naturally aspirated). Are those still options for this vehicle?
Have a read through this thread, lots of good info here: Ideas for improving the 2LTE - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ideas-for-improving-the-2lte.680759/
It is possible to get decent power out of a 2L-TE, but it takes a lot of work and patience. I chose to engine swap my second LJ78 with a VW TDI, power and fuel economy have both improved significantly, but the swap took lots of time and work and wasn't cheap, even if I don't count my labor. 35's are probably a little on the large size unless you do some significant engine modifications.
Edit: if you only have a 2L then you are definitely better off swapping to a different engine. Is yours manual or automatic?
The Cummins is an aftermarket crate engine.

Not all engines are crated equally. When critical components such as fuel pumps, filters, accessories, starters, and flywheels aren’t included in an engine package, you have to piece together these components from various manufacturers, hoping for the best. For the vehicle specific components...

Given it's on 35s, that R2.8 isn't making much grunt over all don't you think? It's making about 10 more HP and 10 less NM than a stock 79 series spec 1VD, and a stock 1VD trying to pull 35s is a slug. Thankfully that's easily helped.The Cummins is an aftermarket crate engine.

@Bogan has one in a 75 Troopy with a pop-up roof. He seems quite pleased with the performance and fuel economy.
It is NOT cheap however.

Any idea what the crate engine itself runs at price wise from cummins?
Around $9,000.00 US.
