Boat ramp oops maybe? Mechanical diesel swap fodder? HVAC and interior electronics will probably never work again, lol.

sold... interesting even though best case it would need a donor truck.

A couple years before I had a work term for the forest district, one of their trucks was submerged under fresh water. After six months of repairs and then flaking out, they sold it at scrap prices even though it was almost new. Newer vehicles don't fare well when dunked under.

Not like old Land Cruisers. Many years ago I drove through a stream up to the glovebox in my 40. I know fresh water isn't as bad, and it didn't sit, but I just drove through the other side. 2-3 weeks later I found that the distributor cap was shot... after having water sit in it half way up the cap (water line) the corrosion was 1/8" thick, the rotor was knocking it off the terminals. For some reason it was no longer idling smoothly. When I here about vehicles that won't run because of condensation in a distributor cap, I remember that cap that I'd sealed wit silicone, removed, and put back on without resealing... A points distributor filled with water all the way to the midline of the cap... F a little moisture. 45,000 volt coil and an MSD... seemed to do the job. :D
 
Now that is funny, re geared for 33s:rofl: you do not even feel a difference when you bump up to that tire. 425000K is pretty high, I am still sitting around 220000 with the electric solenoid trans which is far more durable than the full hydrolic.
$36k for a truck with 425k... seems a tad high.

I re-geared for 33s... I went from 4.10 to 3.70 for 33x10.50s. But it's a tad lighter at 4700 lbs than an 80 series. ;)
 
Might be a decent rig if someone wants a reliable v8 suv. 219k is low for a 2uzfe. Wish I could justify buying this to take towing duty away from my poor LJ, but swmbo won't stand for two suvs in the family....and I can't let the LJ go.


Remember that truck ^ for $4k. Guess someone fixed it and is flipping for profit. $6,900 · 2001 Toyota Sequoia SR5 - https://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/2001-Toyota-Sequoia-SR5_36997308
 
I wish cruisers were as cheap as these old Hinos! This one has a big heavy H07 7.7l diesel I believe.


There is another one on hated facebook for $2500 which has the Hino 13BT/14BT equivalent motor. If I had complete confidence it could be bolted to an H55 I'd be tempted.... This one is in the cowichan area.

Doesn’t seem like an insane asking price for obo. I guess it depends on how much rust is there.

I saw that on used vic. It needs and out of province inspection (alberta) which is probably why it's on the cheap side.

I'd love to put a hopped up 2LTE in one of these. Engine mounts are same as 22RE. 150hp and 280ft/lb would be a lot more fun than the 110hp 140ft/lb. And it would be really unique.

Engine swaps are so much easier with a 2wd. Worst case, you'd need a different transmission and a custom driveshaft. I'm not sure I'd go diesel... the little gasser would hardly use any fuel.

I'd only do it if I came across a cheap partout of a hilux/prado diesel. Not worth spending much on a 2LTE. I think it would just be fun to have something unique and torquey/economical. I know how to get solid power out of the motors now with not a lot of work.

If I wanted to make a rwd Celica fast and nice I'd look at a 1JZGTE VVTI single turbo import from Japan. Love those straight six turbos. But then becomes an expensive endless rabbit hole of upgrades to match the power...

I had a GT6... so I know how much fun a small RWD car with an inline 6 is. Even with a rated 104 hp it can be a lot of fun... although mine had a balanced crank and had other work done, so I don't know what it's output is.
