Hi Everybody,
Just a quick hello from Australia.
I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of this forum.
I have been offered an opportunity to purchase a 1988 Toyota Blizzard Deluxe. This truck has only done 40,000km and is in pristine condition. It will only be used to buzz around town and drive along the beach (no dune bashing or hardcore 4X4'ing.)
I love the truck itself, however after a bit of research I do have serious concerns with the 2l-t engine. This is why I joined the forum, I understand this engine was in the 70 series land-cruiser.
I know this engine has trouble in the Surf because its a heavier vehicle. However does anyone know if there has been any issues in this frame? The vehicle weighs approx 1350-1400kg's.
