You guys dont make it easy. I was waiting on someone saying "dont do it" lol.You don't have the balls
I double dog dare you
I am seriously contemplating this.
At 8k installed, it's almost a no brainer. Seriously, people spend that much in the states rebuilding their petrols. You could ACTUALLY recoup the cost of a diesel swap at that price point.
8k INSTALLED?!?!?!?
People pay more than that just for the parts.
If you have the capital it's a no brainer.

Yea 8k installed!!!! I am waiting to hear back on some news once I hear it i will pull the trigger.
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe I try and make this trip in 2017 with 10-15k in hand, and just do a manual/diesel swap then, and buy a bunch of spare parts that are hard for my cruiser shop to find....
Hang on to that contact.
Is that just bling or a new engine?
Can they supply glow plug relays, 24v starter and switch gear for 12v-24v?
Looking at ditching the SC gasser once I finish selling our house and moving to the new one we already bought.

I paid all in $15k for my rebuild with labor and mods and upgrades. Just saying, I hate you.
Frank that diesel is calling you. I can faintly hear it calling me in NY.
Out of curiosity do you know how much a full, quality paint job would run down there (at the Landcruiser spa)

Awesome!!! I see the fj55 is being put to good use as a parts hauler. Now I hope the container does not get here to soon. I want to be able to come get the body. It would suck if I have to send a friend in my truck, while I am stuck at work.
That's me too, waiting on some good news
Based on experience, I don't see myself moving to diesel. But a new 1FZ, yes.
If you don't come back with that in your 80 you should be shot and at the least tarred and feathered!!
How much can you get a decent fj40 for ?
