Re: sx5 landcruiser

Ok cool Its a '91 so a 2L-TE then I guess.. Economy seems ok. Thanks for the rust tips!

Re: sx5 landcruiser

Thanks for the replies. The one Im looking at is a LWB with 149k's on the clock. I usually do the air flow / exhaust on my vehicles so this would be an early mod for me. Maybe an oversized radiator..? I'll take a look at the other threads.. I like the Lexus V8 idea Jerry! As for intended use I'll be ...

This one will mostly be used for onroad driving but I am wanting to take it off road, beach runs etc.. Would look to fit a snorkel, bigger exhaust, modest lift and big wheels as the ...

Im looking at buying a 1996 RD28-T powered GQ Spirit / SWB with auto trans for around $8000. Seems tidy enough , has done 197000km's and has had cam belts done quite recently. I test drove this one on the weekend but it was not the 4wd for me, floated around like a boat in the front end and blew a ...

This truck does not have a 2lt it has a 3.4 turbo which i think is a 13b turbo. Thay are a good engine. This would be a good reliable truck. Dare i say it though the safari would probably have a better suspension set up to allow for better flex and with the turbo would easily keep up the the ...

Has apparently had approx $2K spent on the engine by ...
