Intended to swap a Cummins BT6 5.9 into the Lexus. DAF truck as a donator. Big discussion with the TÜV a year ago...They fit nicely into Tacoma’s and 4runners
Noise increase, crank housing fume, tank fume emissions, more torque for larger tires but size restriction (brake torque increase) blabla blabla...
No way to get it registered after swapping.
Now I am very happy with the very reliable 1FZ- FE - "Saufbruder".
Great tractor engine
very robust but an absolute clatter box, 4bt even more so. 1fz-is good to go.I have a coastal offroad rear bumper. It was a weld together yourself kit. Idk how shipping to Germany would work out, but the steel kit comes from Canada.

Nice rear bumper - more slim than ARB. I requested a quote from costal OR. This is their respone: "... Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately we are temporarily suspending all international orders at this time due to covid-19. Would you like me to notify you for when we do resume?" Bavarian Taubenreuther had crazy delivery times. Offering a wide range of ARB components but delivery will be next March even if they are based just around the corner. No response from NWTI so far. Onother thread later-on I gonna have a review concerning range extension. Like which gas tank(s) work out best?Great tractor engine

Have you welded it together yet? I’m ordering this bumper in a couple days and looking for someone else who as done it.
I started last week. One thing to be aware is that you absolutely must relocate the AC dryer, otherwise you can't even build the bumper. I pushed mine out of the way by bending the lines, but it is nearly horizontal and I'm considering relocating it up into the engine bay. The other issue is I think their template was based on a flareless FZJ80, so with flares the side wings hand down a little lower than level to avoid contacting the flares, which requires some grinding to get a few of the pieces to fit because the angle is a little off. Otherwise a great kit.
@KennyG I started a build thread for the Coastal Offroad front bumper here: Coastal Offroad Front Bumper Build. Feel free to PM me if you have questions.
After building my own, I went with the Ironman 4x4 bumper... it was at a good price, looked eright, and I like the modular set up with a winch tray and the bumper design that sits on the tray...

Public Service Announcement: "Saufbruder" = "drinking buddy"
Although the word "drinking" may not convey the correct magnitude.
Carry on with the regular discussions...
the German "saufen" means something more like "guzzling", "knocking down", "boozing", "to swill"
so, "guzzling brother" or "swilling brother" would be the closest translation - hick

I've started eyeballing these. Would you recommend it to others?

Saufbruder means in german «ein dem Alkohol verfallener Penner», engl. alcohol addicted hobo (down-and-out)
Saufen=high liquid intake, …like the LX 450

It will be expensive, but we are happy to ship bumpers to Germany. Or let you arrange for pickup.
