Toyota Land Cruiser Cummins Diesel More Repairs Done. Trade? - Edmonton Trucks & Vans For Sale - Kijiji Edmonton


Looks like a nice job but no a/c or cruise. Thats a LOT of weight in the front of a relatively light vehicle.

Sure is! I see full air ride suspension on that thing, I bet that's how it stays level.
With all that work, I can't believe he can part with it... that thing would goto my kids. LOL

I would also be worried about stopping power etc. with 1200+ pounds over the front tires. Sure looks nice though. It would have made a whole lot more sense to put a Cummins 4bt in there.

Those 6cylinder toy engines are silly heavy, but, I agree that a 4b may have been a more reasonable swap.
