goodbye 4Runner, hello Landcruiser
Sold my 4Runner "Beatrice" yesterday. She was a great truck and I'll miss her, but the new owner is a guy much like myself and I think the truck will get used properly and taken out camping and wheeling lots.
Out with the old:
In with the new:
I think I'll name it Colonel Hathi (from the Jungle Book)

I wanted something a little bigger, the 4Runner gets pretty loaded down when camping for a couple days with more than just me in the truck. Also, diesel>>>>> gas IMHO and only 500 Cruisers like that were ever brought to North America, more than 25 years ago- if I want a diesel HJ60, the time is now.
That thing is pure sex on a stick.

awe man... I worked on prolly the ONLY 3B(T) 60 series in Nashville today and KNEW I shoulda snapped a few pics...
It was tricked out and would give you an idea of what your truck would look like should you lift, tire, ARB, and roof rack it...
dag nabbit! And I'm SOOOOO jealous... A Diesel...
This guy's getting 18 - 20 out if his but he added a Turbo and turned the fuel up...
Want pics? I can try to get some, but I should be working on it and a lifted 80 next weekend...

Bbbbirfields! Factory highsteer!
The bumper goes as soon as I pick up the truck.
Won't look half bad riding on 33" tires.
4.0L straight six diesel porn
'few mods
My clutch has a vacuum booster... oh yeah
9.5" front axle
sexy logo
Driving it straight from the sellers house to a Cruiser resto shop to deal with the frame cancer

eventually, i'll probably lift it 3-4" to fix that departure angle, but lifting with leaf springs is pricey- Old Man Emus apparently last the longest and ride the best, and for all 4 spring, shocks, shackles, bushings, its going to cost around $1500-2K to lift. I'm going to deal with the frame rust first, and then a rear Aussie locker, on board air, then a lift.

Why replace the springs right now? Just spring it over. Chizzeeeaaap mate
Nice find tho! I had a chance to pick up a FJ62 and just didnt have the cash on hand. Wish I had taken my buddy up on the loan! I really want a FJ40

Its diesel, non-turbo, so no accessories, carb... stuff that adds bulk around the engine. The 2H a 4.0L motor, as is the 3FE.
.....................2H................vs............3FE
displacement...3980cc..........................395 5cc
bhp................103 @3500rpm...............155 @4200
torque............177 @2000 ....................220@2200
bore x stroke...91x102mm.....................94x95mm
Video of the 2H running smoooooooth
Properly done, spring-over-axle is the same money and more work- cutting and turning the axle housing to regain caster after setting up the pinion angle. I don't have a welder so thats out.
