Hi all,
I purchased this amazing rig in 2008 from Canada and imported it to the US. It's legally registered and titled as a diesel in WA state. It was a professional swap done by Sheldon Walsh(G&S Cruiserparts) and it was his personal vehicle for a couple of years. I've put only 12k( 267k when purchased. 278,106 as of today) on it since I bought it, so I think it's time I pass it on to someone who can utilize it to it's full potential.
Sadly I am not an expert mechanic, but I will try to answer any questions best I can. Work done to it since I've had it: new radiator, fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter, valve cover gasket, rotors and pads(1k ago), new batteries(12mo ago). The body is still in great shape, I've added a scape on the front left fender, and the clear coat is pealing on the rt fender, no rust, garaged 90% of the time I've had it. It was worked on by a local cruiser expert, Torfab, and he gives it the thumbs up "We looked at this cruiser about a year ago, and it's in greae. For those in the know, this is a conversion done by Sheldon at G&S Cruisers in BC. His attention to detail is top notch, and this conversion is very well done."
Here is the original description that was posted in '08 and like I said little has changed:

Clean grey cloth interior, Not kid worn, put in new Toyota floor mats when I got it 2 years ago.
Paint is in decent shape overall, usuall wear and tear from 15 years of use.
2 small dents on driver fender where my roof rack tipped against it.

Wholesale Automatics "Extreme Valve body" in the A442F tranny. Quicker tighter shifts, less slipage ($1200 not including instal cost)
Walbro 6065 Fuel lift pump. Low PSI fuel pusher eliminates injection pump starvation and cavitaton
Isspro colored face Pyro (pre Turbo) and Isspro Boost gauge
Factory Dual battery trays w/ 2 Interstates (works with 1 battery if required)
Battery cables built with new#2 welding cable and marine brass terminal clamps.
Factory hand throttle assy

1HD-T.. Engine had 140k km when it went in, has about 180k km on it now.
Engine was fully serviced, Valves reshimed to spec, compression all in 510-515 psi range, Nice and even with good oil pressure.

Amsoil in everything but the crankcase Delo 400 15-40 every 3k miles
Washer reservoir relocated using proper JDM HDJ81 extra capacity reservoir on left fender.
As far as fuel economy goes it depends how you drive it. Pure Hwy @ 60mph on my last road trip, loaded with trailer, gear roof top tent etc I was getting around 400miles on 20gal.
My best was in stock trim. 507 miles on 21gal. The lift, bulbar , tires etc have all cost fuel ecomomy but the way I look at if is that I am still a good 30% ahead of any gas powered 80 in the same trim.
