Cummins B3.3 Powered FJ60

[Ok cruiser]

Hi. I see it's been a long time since u last posted. Is it still running well? I am planning to so this same swap. I have my 3.3 a nv4500 and a 84 fj60. Just working on rebuilding my engine now. I was wondering if you have done any towing with your cruiser? I am wanting to tow a light overland trailer. Do you feel your cruiser could handle a 1500-1800 lb trailer. Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Cummins is running perfectly. I just had an oil analysis done by blackwater and they even said I could go longer between oil changes (currently changing every 5k). To answer your question I would not recommend this for towing. The motor just does not power the FJ60 enough to get you up to speed. I am the slow guy on every mountain pass with just me in the vehicle! However the economy is awesome. I recently installed a webasto in there so I can heat it up nicely in the winter before I drive. That's the one thing, this motor never seems to get hot. It takes awhile to get any meaningful heat in the cab.

Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!
