I am not a buyer, but I am curious what kind of power and fuel economy you are getting with the turbo installed.

 

[nw_fj62]

Thanks for the question.

Power is impressive with steady delivery and no lag. Dyno tested at 350hp on the low-boost turbo. Changed the way I drove off-road (esp after an FJ62 with original 3FE engine...). My understanding is that AVO sold these pretty well in Middle Eastern countries and Christo at Slee Offroad (Golden CO) experimented with how big the market was here - understand he build 3-ish Turbo 100 series.

Fuel economy remains similar to other UZJ100s : ie a low 11-12mpg. Tires, weight and low aerodynamics all contribute. With the built-in auxiliary tank the truck has a 400mile range before jerry cans.

I received a request for more images - interior.

Driver's seat has been covered you Specter Offroad (SOR) seat covers for last couple of years. Picture of driver's seat with cover removed:

Some undercarriage images per requests. I removed the three skid plates to get this vantage. Some of the custom exhaust elements visible.

I've returned from some work travel and hope to get going (and fund) my new project (build out of a 2013 GX)

I've repriced the 2002 UZJ 100 Turbo Land Cruiser to $21.5 (or best offer).

...

For reference, here is the steel Slee skid plate system (off the truck). $1200 retail value today. Skid plates (not watch dog) included in sale.
