Unless i find a cheaper more reliable grease-burner, the v-dub has that market locked down. The toyota diesels on this side of the pond are rare, and from readings on the interwebs, the engines don't like tweaking. If i am going to put any engine other then a stocker in the 4Wallet, i need a larger user/tuner base that i can pump for information. I am not a pioneer, but i can follow directions(my wife may argue this).
Budget is also my motivation, i couldn't afford a toy diesel, nor justify the cost in a 23yr old vehicle. For the cost of the toy swap, i could have a highly tunable diesel, and some kick-a$$ mods.

Gotcha, regarding the 'diesel' answer

And, ...THAT, right up there, is the paint scheme I was talking about(minus the black).... What's it called? Doug _ _ _ _ ? something? lol. Limited Edition or Desert Runner or something? LOVE that paint job!

Thanks, I've got a few ideas I'll get up here.
I don't know what it's called, but it's the same scheme Ivan Stewart ran.

Body lift, first phase of the flat belly, and creates more room for workin. I am going to try my best to get her ready for the ec4rj.
This lift was quite simple since I had an Efan, and bumpers weren't attached to the body
