Julian,

Looks like a different engine. The exhaust/injection sides of the engine are reversed-mine is a 2h 4 liter.

[globallandrovers]

oh, I believe this is a 3.5litre 4 cyl unit.

At the risk of asking a "stupid newbie" question, can this truck be legally titled in any state in the US?

At the risk of asking a "stupid newbie" question, can this truck be legally titled in any state in the US?All gotta start somewhere..

Answer is yes, It'll pass DOT & EPA as it is 25 years old... 1983 was the first year of the 110, so 2008 is the first year we can import the ones from over the pond.. I have heard though, California may be a bit more difficult, not sure on that though.

Thank you for the info. I assume that with the Toyota diesel conversion, the reliability of this type truck would be pretty good? Just have to learn how to shift gears with my left hand!! :)

[turbodave]

I decided against it becuase of the colour!

[globallandrovers]

[130Tdi]

I believe this powered with the Toyota 4 cyl 3b engine.

Doug, thanks for the info, that will help when I get her serviced next week.

Doug,

You seem familiar with Julian and his vehicles, did you purchase one from him, or import one from the UK? I am interested in what process was required from the US port of entry to your driveway in the realm of obtaining a title etc.

Chassis sound, only light surface rust in places.
Clock works
Powerful windscreen washers

Bad points:
Paint work looks good at a distance but cound do with a respray.
Engine has an oil leak from rocker cover
there's some play in the rear diff
Needs new shocks.
No power steering so its a man's car!
Interior second row seats have some rips on the backs.
Door trim is tired.

Neil,

1. I was let to believe that the truck had about 90,000 miles on it when the engine conversion was done, but i can not veryfy this. The current mileage is 131,000, but it is unknown wether the diesel was new or second hand when it was put in, i suspect it was a used engine, I was told the conversion was done 6 years ago, but i can't veryfy this either, as the conversion was not done by the people i brought the truck from. I can for an additional $6000 convert this truck to 200tdi with a new clutch.

2. See above.

3. See pic, I will take more.

please email me at julian@globallandrovers.f9.co.uk as I have video of her driving.
