    Youre killing me over here. I recently rebuilt a run of the mill 98 pre-runner with a blown motor I shipped out east from California. I never gave a shit about owning a truck but after rebuilding this one Im in love. Ive always owned an old 911 but im starting to think its time to let her go and pick up another Toyota.

If you do it at home, it's you own project. not Icon's.

      It's not a common swap, but both the 4BT and 6BT Cummins will fit. The 4bt is loud and rattly - not very refined, and the 6bt adds quite a bit of weight to the front-end (obviously). I would personally love to build a 6bt FZJ80.
