I may spin this off into a separate diesel rebuild thread. I'm about 30% deep into the rebuild of the motor I bought for this truck. The more I think about it, I would actually like to solicit input and advice of the Pelican crew on several aspects of this project. I've been almost exclusively using the 'Mud forum but solely relying on one community can often result in an echo chamber effect and it may do very well to get some insight from very sharp car folks from a completely different forum. Land Cruisers and Porsches are so very different and so very similar in many respects; for starters, both are icons in their own right.
Anyway, earlier this year, I happened upon this gem while talking to the owner of a respectable 'cruiser shop in California. I originally wanted a diesel engine for this FJ40 but couldn't justify the cost. In the end, I decided it was the only thing that was going to make me happy so out came the wallet.
1997 Toyota HZJ75 (or what's left of it).
It followed me home.
