We more have issues with the auto gearboxes and turbo seals. Only heard of 1 motor popping though.
I drive them all the time, they are gutless pigs for turbo diesels. Toyota 4WD for the win.

Mike, stick with the FTRs
yup.
Throwing everything in the 'fuck it' bucket.
I see that black VE just about daily on the way to work and on the way home from work... looks nice!
I have the option of a few cars for daily's.
05 Hilux SR5
2002 VX Executive Gen 3 6 speed
or WB 1 tonner
WB doesnt get used alot these days though because it needs a new clutch.
was some what expecting your daily to be a old tractor or a horse and cart rob lol
Yeh it is mostly. Needs a new front left quarter panel though, and could do with a better motor than the 253.:lol:
GM v6 goes in pretty easy, buy conversion kit and drop it in. Bolts up to stock 5 speed. The conversion kit and bellhousing cost as much as about 5 of the engines tho. then there is all the hassle of converting from carby to efi. Can buy the same kit for the lexus V8. Have read alot of ppl complainin that the lexus v8 lacks low down torque and its really noticable off road.
