Here's a statement and my question.
I love my Landcruiser!
It's tough, relatively dependable, not too bad to work on and gets me "there and back" without issue
However, as I search the net (and this site) I see various threads regarding changing engine/drive train over to domestic V-8's
By changing the running gear, you basically destroy what was Toyota You now have a Toyota box with American internals.
Why not just buy a domestic truck and be done with it?
This is in NO WAY intended to be a bash or negative toward anyone who has made the switch. If I ever get another 40, I'm going SBC
But I started wondering?
What made you decide on a Landcruiser in the first 10 places?
Was it the trucks ruggedness (Outback, jungle and desert proven)?
Was it the look?
Price?
What makes your/our Landcruisers so special?
In general and specifically to you?
Please share your thoughts. An inquiring mind really wants to know.
Thanks
