Hello Everybody !!!
Let me introduce me first. My name is Facundo, I am 36 years old, I am an oral surgeon, was born in Argentina, but grow up in Barcelona, Spain.
I was related to Toyotas since I was a child (father´s first gen hilux), I owed a 1993 solid axl 2.4 diesel Hilux, during the University in Argentina again.
With this hilux I made two times in different summer hollidays a complete round-trip to Argentina.
Many years later, when I returned to Spain, I made the big mistake on buying a 2001 2.7 Turbo Diesel Hilux prepared by Delta 4x4. Piece of crap ...
After that nightmare, I decided to buy an old 3.0 V6 2nd gen 4runner and restore it.
This was and still is, my biggest pesonal project for the last 4 years. Everything in the car is fabbed and modded by myself and my buddy Cesc.
I felt I was completed.
But ( Always exists a but ...) few weeks ago, was surfing the net, with my wife sitting next to me, when suddenly there she was ... CALICRUISER´s 60.
I was hipnotized, and so was my wife too.
You are not going to trust me, but HOW THE HELL did a Yota Lover, never noticed the existence of these beauty???
And there started the dilemma. What to do.
I really love my Runner, but the land Cruiser hj 60 ,was also love at first sight.
The last two weeks, I was searching for all the info I could get, and so discovered that ih8mud was specifically for LandCruiser (yes I am stupid...).
I actually participate quite a lot in Yotatech forum
I feel a bit seasick right now.
Comparing the engine 4.0 Diesel from the hj 60 1984, with my 3.0 V6 famous slowrunner, how about speed ?
I know the 4.0 Diesel is super-reliable engine, but is it powerfull enough for 35´s regeared ???
I want a SOA for sure , but I am really scared about cutting and turning the end of the axl housing .... (Don´t scare me too much, please...).
Right now I feel very lost.
I have no idea about LandCruisers, I will have to start from cero;( I was starting to now something about runners).
Hope I´ll make some good new friends here.
A round of Cold Beers for everybody !!!
Cheers
Facu
