    1HZ swap info

    Are you asking why Toyota only sells gas vehicles in the US? If so, that's a question that us Americans have been asking forever. Those of us that actually use our trucks off-road have been wanting a Diesel land cruiser, Hilux, or a Tacoma for AGES... But for some reason in the US Toyota only...

    1HZ swap info

    Ahh, I never knew the HZ and the HD block were the same, that makes sense. I should have known that based on the Toyota block naming structure, but never put two and two together. That sounds like the prevalence of the Cummins 6BT in the US, especially the 12 valve mechanical injection version...

    1HZ swap info

    Thanks for the info. You can't get either 70 series land cruisers or ANY diesel from Toyota in the US (for some reason Toyota sells ONLY gasoline vehicles in the US, no matter how much they tease bringing a diesel here). So for me it's kind of the uniqueness of having a diesel landcruiser...

    1HZ swap info

    list of countries that sold/sell the 70 series?

    I've seen that book on Amazon, wasn't sure if it were any good or not. Sounds like I need to order it!

    What budget laptop?

    Lenovo Thinkpad. I've taken mine all around the world (and under it). It's been thrown around, stuffed in the bottom of deployment bags, and just generally miscared for...It still chugs along no problem. They're easy to fix and parts are both cheap and readily available. They're like the Toyota...

    list of countries that sold/sell the 70 series?

    Hello, Does anyone know where I could find a detailed list of what countries sold/sell the 70 series, and which trim options they had? Wikipedia shows a lot of the possibilities, but doesn't detail what was available which year and in which country. I ask becasue I'm trying to narrow down my...

    New from the US, lots to learn!

    Looking at importing a pre-95 70 series sometime in the next year, and doing my research. This will be my 2nd imported vehicle, but my first time going through all of the paperwork myself. Lots to learn!
