I was traveling around New Zealand and noticed a landcruiser 70 series that was advertised with a 2.8 L Diesel and was curious what engine that was i was unaware that any cruisers came with this size engine
 
there is a toyota "3L" motor which is 2.8 litres, but i don't think it ever came in a 70. the owner is probably confused. If it's a BJ then it will be the 3B or 13BT which is 3 litres.

Who knows, it could be a misprint,someone here has a Hilux with a 4.2 diesel for sale but I think it should be 2.4:D

Its also possible that Kiwi cruiser is a LJ70 with an updated motor .
 
I knew a bloke from Auckland NZ a few years ago, who had a used japanese import 70 series cruiser SWB that had a 2.8 diesel and coil springs from the factory. I think it was maybe late '80s - early '90s model. Overall was same shape as the 13B/13BT models but was slightly smaller. I haven't seen another one since.:cheers:

Yep, it was a LJ70 and must have had an engine swap. Definately had a 2.8 ohc Toyota motor.

saw it again and asked the owner about it, he had swapped in a 4-runner (hilux) 2.8l and kept the 2.4l turbo it was origionally 2.4lt

So It was actually a LJ70:D
