pretty soon the only thing v8 trucks are going to be good for is a push down a long hill and into a deep lake. How much fuel you pushing into your 13-bt, I get 1000kms to my 90 litre tank, I don't care to figure what that is but its good enough for me! Seems like I fill up alot less then my old 2.9 V6 ford. I wouldn't drive a domestic truck if I won it, unless I couldn't sell it!

Does not surprise me that 13bt gets better milage than a FORD...

Today I am taking my BJ74 off the road and puting my 78 chev on the road for salmon stealhead fishing trip, as I can sleep in te back of a chev truck.

Its great fishing at the Stamp River Port Alberni... Yay!

sad but true the old F was based on the chevy six...
of course Toyota had to tear it all down and make it better...

Remember how the Japanese industry started, by copying and making it cheaper, then making it better
 
I had a customer with a super terd diesel Ford Escort wagon that got a dismal 50 miles to the US gallon. My sister has a Prius that she gets 48 US miles to the gallon. Just because its a Ford Dosn't mean it can't get good milege.
 
the only differance on the old , old cruiser was that they sleeved the cylenders to give it less power , THEN they made it alot beter.
 
are you talking the gasser or the diesel? curious, i have yet to see any factory sleeved gasser F or 2F although i might be missing something...
and curious as well, why would sleeving an engine give it less power?

I have never seen a sleeved toyota "land cruiser" gas engine that includes F, 2F 3fe, and 1FZ. I really do not think they ever sleeved those.

OK, so at $328.00 from Toyota, I figured I would first ask around if anyone has a P/S idler pulley kicking about that they can part with? If not, I'll see if I can wittle one out of scrap titanium or something.

Found a new pulley.
John Deere dealer... Part no. AM115682. Center bushing must be drilled out from 10mm to 12mm. Voila, a brand new power steering idler pulley. CAD$12.69.

Hopefully, this new one is good for a full 600,000 kms.

You can sleep in the back of a 60 series or other TLC wagon too... ask me how I know.

5'11" tall here-- and I've never tried to sleep in an 80 I confess, but yes the 60 is nice and roomy. Actually, a full size futon will fit in the back ;)

OK somebody slap me for turning this into CHAT!

BTW Behemoth awesome job on the pully--thanks for doing the leg work for all of us 3Bers. Now I just have a few hundred thousand miles to go before I have to replace my pulley...
