We are selling this 1991 Diesel Converted Land Cruiser. This FJ80 was converted to a 6.5 liter Turbo Diesel about 3 years ago, and still runs great. We performed some preventative maintenance at the shop to get her ready for the next owner.
Some details on the cruiser:
1. 1995 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton 6.5 liter diesel engine with 150k on the conversion
2. Engine is completely computer controlled with factory GM ECM
3. 4L80e auto transmission mounted behind the engine
4. Marks adapter used to convert to factory T-case
5. Stock drivelines
6. 2 inch OME lift kit with shocks, etc
7. 33" BFG AT tires
8. Brakes upgraded to '93-'97 rotors and calipers
9. GM Hydroboost brake master cylinder from '95 GMC sierra
10. '95 Land Cruiser leather power seats (Better material and power)
11. Grey interior
12. Cd player with mp3 control
13. Dual battery system with external starter solenoid
14. Autopage alarm with auto car start
15. Dakota digital tach adapter
16. Power windows
17. ARB Bull bar
The 6.5 liter turbo diesel from a 1/2 ton truck is the only street legal diesel conversion you can do to a Land Cruiser, even in California. The engine is newer than the cruiser and it's from a similar class vehicle ( 1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton). There's plenty of power on tap, and it has 18-20 mpg on average. All emission equipment is present and functional on the engine, and licensing should not be a problem.

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.
2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.
