    Builds Meet Ivy, 1976 FJ40 w/VW TDI

    How built is your 60? The published curb weight for an FJ60 is around 4300lbs, my LJ78 in stock form was a little over 4800lbs. I lost some weight swapping in the TDI, but with a full load of junk and a rooftop tent I can still cruise at 70mph and pull 8% grades at 55mph, all the while averaging...

Hoping it will improve when I go to a Stage 4 tune and don't have to romp on it all the time. ;) I suspect...

    This is awesome! I took a rare foray into the 40-series section and just happened across your build. Nice to see another TDI/LandCruiser build! I'm putting an ALH in my 70-series Prado. Just out of curiosity, what injectors are you using? Also, who did your tuning? I'm trying to decide how far...
