    Find a guy here in Africa to pull one these straight-6 diesels and ship it to you. Their all over the place. (Bonus: ~90% are Manual Trans. All seem to have a manual transfer case and ~50/50 manual locking hubs)

    I had an HZJ77 land cruiser with this engine. Wheeled it all over. One of the best engines Toyota eve built. Along with an h55 tranny.

    If he's anything like me, he's watching from a safe distance, as to NOT get hit by the BDE flying around here. Entertaining to say the least!

    Seems a bit harsh. What did they do to you?

    Eh, I'm well aware of that incident, one of their cameramen did it. But I guess we can just label an entire brand or company as bad just because of one individual right?

    I'd say if the entire brand or company IS one person, yes.

    You really think Mateo runs that entire company? Props to you man, I wasn't expecting to laugh this hard this early in the day.

    Anyways, we've derailed the thread so I'm off here. Keep on hating if that's your thing.

    Agreed, but that diesel is all business. I like it. Function over fashion.
    Besides, our 3.5’s are pretty ugly without their plastic engine covers too.....Lol

    You're assuming here; I have no opinion on the guy or his brand, so definitely not hating. I just answered your question in general. I think you were conversing with someone else concerning the specific brand/national park incident.

    Back on topic, LS swap it.
