This is a bit tough for your average 1HZ owner to quantify for a comparison as we do not know the size or grade of the hill, but on average saying your 1HZ cruiser is slow and everyone that owns a 1HZ cruiser will simply nod sagely in agreement with you.
That said, yes, it is normal. Sigh.
It will get you there, and back again with whatever you throw at it... just slowly. This is why some of us have elected to Turbo the 1HZ for north American driving. It will undoubtedly shorten the life of an indirect injection motor, but sensible drivers can still get a lot of miles out of one setup correctly.
I am pretty sure this was by design by toyota so that more people can appreciate the lines of these 70 series as we slowly go by... or as people walk past admiring the Land Cruiser as they beat us to the top of a hill.I guess I am just a bit too cautious, I know some 12 wheelers are struggling during the climb..
With that being said II drive slowly with IMUA because I really feel in a other dimension driving this cruiser , the diesel engine, the sounds it feel great
I am gonna give him a turbo and fresh internal but for this season I am going to drive him like that
Gotcha, yeah that sounds like what I would expect from starting at a standstill at the base of a hill with a 1HZ. I found similar limits when driving in steep / hilly areas. When towing last summer I actually had to put the transfer case into 4L in order to get up the hill when starting out from a STOP sign since the motor kept stalled in 1st gear and I didn't want to burn out the clutch.
I’ve owned multiple 1HZ powered Land Cruisers that were turbocharged (with success) but I would not recommend adding a turbo without also adding an Intercooler.I guess I am just a bit too cautious, I know some 12 wheelers are struggling during the climb..

Really because of the overheating?I’ve owned multiple 1HZ powered Land Cruisers that were turbocharged (with success) but I would not recommend adding a turbo without also adding an Intercooler.
Yes sir. My shop installed an A/W setup which resulted in a significant difference in EGT’s.
Do you by chance have a link? I googled husky boys mud flaps and cant seem to find what looks like the ones you mounted to your flairs but I will get searching, thank you.
