Gen III 4Runner Disel Swap???????

Hello, i'm new to the forum.: (Disel Swap!!!!) Has anyone outhere heard of or seen this done yet? Was this an option on 4Runners at some point? I know Toyota used to make disel trucks, do they still make them? I know it would be a load of work and $$$ but still want to know if it has been done. Its always about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

it's been done before. in fact, there's a shop somewhere in Houston, Texas that does the job.

There's a thread somewhere here in yotatech about it.

many have done it themselves.. just buying the front clip and doing a little research here and there

Thanks for the info, I'll continue to search for more info. Huston is a long hall from Mass,although I do have family there, it would be a good excuse for a visit. But an extra VK is not in the cards. Hows the wether in the Philippines this time of year?
