Hi Mudders.
So I have a VDJ200 (2013) and an FZJ80 (1993). But sadly, I have the Land Cruiser bug!
I recently came across a 1996 HZJ75 troopy. It seems in good shape. Originally from Chile. The owner told me engine has been swapped to a 6 cylinder petrol Toyota engine from another LC. My guess is it is the 1FZ. I haven't seen the truck yet. Will confirm as soon as I see it.
The question is. Is that swap an easy one? What should I look once I take a look at it?
There are not that many Troop Carriers in Argentina. I was really wager to find a diesel one, preferably a 1HZ for reliability. So the swap is really a negative in this case.
Whats everyones opinion?
I have yet to confirm if it is an automatic or manual transmission.
Thanks for everyones honest opinion.
Cheers
