Mates truck, had a wee roll over it
If that's a "wee roll over" I'd hate to see a big one!
It's Rooted!
The back wheels are facing the moon.

Re: Toyota 2.8 diesel (3L model) reconditioning
Ring your local Toyota dealer and get a price for a brand new long block.
It may be a bit more money for a new one but a reco is still only a reco.
Just my thoughts.
