Turbo Land Cruiser?

MHST Guy · 11-04-2008, 12:16 PM

I've never seen (or even heard) of one of these before, but I saw this driving down the highway in Denver last weekend. Said turbo on the side, and was right had drive. I didn't notice where the plates were from. Kinda cool looking body art, but it's not for me. I'm 99% sure it was stock. Sorry about the crappy camera phone pics.

Looks like a JDM import - Turbo diesel. Becoming very common up here in Canada.

I love those old landcruisers, there's a reallly mint one I see parked in san fracisco a lot. Never ran into the owner though.

But yeah, they made turbo diesel land cruisers. not exactly power monsters though, just had a good amount of torque.

Huh??? Excellent power for the size of the vehicle. And ya, good torque.

Looks like a couple inches of lift and stock bumper with PTO winch. Likely has cable lockers too!
