I have driven from Wyoming to Panama and back three times.

Let me know if you guys have any questions or want advice.


Cheers

I read somewhere that around 795 BJ 42's were imported to Canada in 1982. Jim

Only harder thing than driving a 40 series for long distances is a motor bike. Good luck. You might want to consider an air ride seat option. Or a personal but masseur.

Luckily we got some super comfy Scheel-Mann seats for the trip! Should make it a lot less painful!

Sounds like fun.
When you say bj40,are you running the B engine?Being from Canada and have been playing with diesels for 20 yrs, the B engine is underpowered.
I’ve been installing n running waste cooking oil for 10 yrs on 3B,1HZ,1HDT,2LTE,1KZTE,Mitsu Delicas,Pajeros n ford 7.3 powerstrokes.

We actually have done a cummins swap on the bj40 and bj42. We have the new r2.8 turbo now. Pretty awesome little engines. If anyone is going to SEMA come check us out we will be in the Cummins booth!

I saw a few weeks back you guys got picked up by Cummins.
I've read a lot of third party reviews on those engines. Interested on how they perform for you, they havent got great reviews so far and parts arent the easiest to come by last I checked.
Good luck. Hope you guys crush it.

Are you still going "clean" and gonna run VO in the R2.8s?

HHmmm ? Interesting ? So the journey now is about veggie oil in a diesel ! not so much about these great Landcruisers and what they can accomplish with the stock motor running veggie oil ! At that rate for us to know how good it goes we will have to pull our Toyota diesels and drop in something else or run an experiment on our Toyota diesels ! Cool !
