89 pickup

[mad maud]

 :driving:ok people this is me 1989 pickup she's running on 31's with land cruiser shocks up back. has mr2 seat's and steering wheel.first time out i bent the front spring's so there are new one's waiting to be fitted. the surf bullbar and stock bumber will soon be replaced with a taylor made item along with the rear bumber, roll bar and rock slider's. i am planning to replace the 2.4 deisel lump with a 3.0l job and bob the bed.other than that im stuck for idea's, so what do you reckon, keep it "mild" though this thing is my daily drive so it's gotta be practical. oh by the way i live in the uk so a snorkle is also on my fabricate list (we got lots of deep water and mud on the army land where we go). would much apprieciate as much advice as i can get, this is my first 4x4 project, i was once a street raceing idiot so its time for something differant.

[mad maud]

i just gotta have more tourque          and ground clearance etc     some of the army land roud here is where our lovely green glad boys drive tanks      ive seen some of the mods you guys do and i must say they look perfect for this country    the 2.4 aint bad but she does struggle on some of the steeper stuff     heres some more pics including one of my bruvver in crime and his suzi project

If anything, why not choose a 22RE?

[jimbo74]

it is wierd seeing hte foregin bed on a newer truck liek that as well

[Hottrod81]

I would love to have that diesel. 

[79coyotefrg]

I am the  toyota  police  ,  hand over that 2.4 deisel  and i will let you live 

[dov'd85]

is it a 2.4 T or just a 2.4... if you are going to do a swap why not do a 22re? or get ready to do alot of head gaskets

[kneedownnate]

I would assume he's talking about upgrading to a 1kzte over the 2lt?  A 1kzte has WAY more power and is a much more dependable engine than the 2lt or 2l.

[mad maud]

which engine is the 1kzte, ive not come across it before. me truck is  the non turbo model. didnt know you guys thought so much of the 2.4d lump. i was thinking bout slotting in the 3.0l diesel lump that landcruisers have for the uk market

  put a 3.0 in your truck  and send me your 2.4d

is the 3.0l diesel the 5 cly. or 6cyl.  just dont put the 3.0 v-6 gas engine in.

[mad maud]

im going to go with the straight 6 i think,  im thinking of putting the redundant 2.4 into a suzuki one off, dont know yet might offer it up for sale   you 2.4 lovers will have to wait and see.  gotta get the funds for a 3ltr together first(proving hard with xmas just round the corner).   buy the way   where the heck do i wire an electronic tacho to on a diesel?

The 1kzt is 3.0l diesel with turbo and has about 125hp. That sounds not quite a lot but I think you can compare that with an gas engine with more than 200hp... You have to mention the much higher torque!

Colt, Du kommst von Deutschland?

Ich lerne Deutsch auf die Universität. Es ist so lustig!

I apologize on jumping in on the thread, but I saw a German and had to say something!

Yes I`m from Germany. I ever thought German is difficult to learn for non-native speakers. But your German sounds good.
Is it common to learn German on university? Or rather exotic?

Ja Voll! Vielen Dank! Ich lerne Deutsch, aber es nicht so gut manchmal ist! Ich mag die Sprache und meine Lehrerin ist so schön! Ich will zu meine Lehrerin sagen, "Willst Du mit mir aus gehen?"
Haha...Sie ist sehr gut für mich! Haha....

It is not common to learn German at the University I am attending (or most universities in my region of the US, I don't believe.

In fact, we really do not even have a program and we are trying to expand our German interests.

Ich habe viele Deutsche Freude! I will go to Germany one day, but I am not able to right now.

I apologize for occupying your thread with German matters.

Tschüss!
