DIESEL Tundra Prototype in Texas!!!

Don't worry. You aren't the only one that just didn't know. I am glad that you asked. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

 

surfpronto: 007's not the only one that wants to see pics. you need to post some up as soon as you get a chance

 

Check http://www.dieseltoy.com (suprised I could get that URL)

I put up a quick pic

 

Is that one acutallly yours or just a pic of one you found? if that is your diesel toy then i am very impressed, it looks great!

 

It is the one I am purchasing. The PO is a friend that did all of the upgrades (lift,tires)

Picking it up next week.

 

congrats, its definately a kickin' truck

 

Thanks 007, you've provided me with much information since I joined TW.

 

In an article from MySA.com:

 

Thanks Mark,
it would be nice if they put in that new Turbo_Diesel V8 that is going into the 08 Land Cruisers worldwide.

Well worldwide meaning everywhere but here.

 

Thanks.
I won't get anywhere fast but I drove an FJ40 for 4 years as a DD and this at least has a 5 speed.

I have been practicing driving slow in the Tacoma (70mph) and I am almost getting runover on the freeways here.

 

I think I am going to cry...

...if I only had money...

Yeah that is my friend's website. (That is my 60 on there which is now sold)
That particular BJ70 was turboed. Never saw that one .I was looking into buying it at the time but it was a bit pricey.
My friend is giving me a bit of a deal on his and he is willing to share all his diesel knowledge.

 

I hope he has more in a year or two. I am going to start saving. One of those things is my dream vehicle - 4WD, Diesel, small, and simple engine.

 

BJ70s are nice and the 3B engine is bulletproof (to use an over-used term)

I really wanted a BJ60 which is basically the wagon style with the 3B engine but those are REALLY hard to find.

Have you seen the diesel troopy on his site?



I actually drove it (right hand drive and all).
He wants a lot of money though.

 

Now this thing is like a dream to me...

Me too. I have wanted one for years. My wife still does not see the attraction..... but oh well

 

Yeah, that's a bit too big for me without a turbo. I was actually more interested in the Prado, but the link is broken...

 

I drove that one in Moab with him.

It is a 5 speed with 33" tires. It drove very nice and had tons of torque.

Problem with those is that they are heavy and with the tires I think he was only getting 18-20 mpg anyway.

 

Yeah, but that is like a 4wheelin' MACK truck made by Toyota! I still like the BJ70 Turbo-Diesel (even the non-turbo would be okay with me).

 

That Prado is actually on EBay right now.
The owner is from florida and has it titled there. From my understanding it may be hard to get it titled in CA but Texas may be easier.
