I bet that's in Steve's driveway already, haha!
He’s paid a deposit... but hasn’t dragged it home with the 60 yet. I didn’t see a trailer at his place, but I suspect he’s got one hiding there somewhere.
275 hp 1.3 litre... seems crazy

Wife sent me this in an email... don't know where she saw it.
Looks like a Toyota dealership?

Those windows look like a good task for the meat plow.
The only way working class folks can obtain mint old 40's now is by nefarious means. 
Think I'd go for a slightly less conspicuous getaway vehicle.Those windows look like a good task for the meat plow.
The speed of the getaway could be a minor issue too.

Clearly a misprint. Missing a couple zeros behind that price!

I'm beginning to think the Mercedes OM617 in a LJ78 Prado isn't everything people imagine it would be. This thing seems to have changed hands more than any Prado I've seen. Makes me glad I didn't swap one in mine. Call me crazy, but I like my 2LTE (albeit upgraded).

But yeah... I've heard it feels too much like a car engine, but I've never driven one in a truck so I'm kinda talking out of my ass
Always thought it might be ok in a 2wd mini truck for a DD, but I don't know if there's any real gains over a 22re to make it worth doing, other than being able to say it's a diesel.
And in a light little 2wd, a VW swap might be fine too, and maybe get enough mpg to pay off the adapter before we're all banned from driving old junk anyways.

Yeah, I think the OM617 would be fine in the lighter trucks. My LJ hasn't really had much weight added besides a winch, and it weights in at about 4700lb with no one in it and some tools in the back.
Fellow in the states put a VW ALH diesel into an LJ78 manual trans truck. He likes it so far, but still working out some bugs. I can't fathom a little motor like that doing what I demand of my truck (8500lb+ up the Malahat), but I guess that 500cc reduction in displacement would be more than offset by the direct injection advantage from the VW. I don't think he intends to tow in his case anyhow....
Builds - Another Prado in Montana
Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway... So, I bought another Prado: This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a...

Just an old Ford, but I found the last line of the ad pretty funny. " If your wife won't let you buy it.. do us both a favor and don't pretend you're interested. "
