    dj's 1990 toyota pickup / vw tdi hybrid utilitarian build

    Depends on how you make the mounts. I had it sitting low and notched the pan. But many have installed the motor with any notches. Go for the swap it makes the truck a little torque beast off-road.it also hauled pretty well on the highway.

    Carbon60's HDJ81

    No way that's the truck I was trying to buy from the previous dealer that had it but he kept on refusing . The new dealer had listed it at a much higher price. You stole my dream local truck:( enjoy P.s I think the front axle needed new seals from what I remember. Awesome truck you got there.

The crossover pipe that looks crushed going behind the trans cross member is one of the lowest points that gets caught on every belly dragging rock.Not to...

I remember it feeling like a tank compared to the hilux I had back then .It also felt a little sluggish but i am sure if I played with the...

    Keep the 4th gen 4runner or go with a hdj81 (80 series diesel)?

    My plan for the 80 wouldnt be huge tires and monster lift. I just want something that will take care of Daily duties and capable enough on most trails and long trip. But then again the 4runner does all of that... arhhhg

I loved the simplicity of the older diesels.So working on the truck doesnt scare me.I had to do the headgaskets on the 4runner 3 months...
