2000 SR5 Auto Swap to 2000 SR5 Manual

[Devbot]

The vehicle I would import for certain from Japan would be an 80 Series Land Cruiser. In my mind they look very close to a 3rd gen 4runner and most of them out there are diesel.

At least when they look like this I think they resemble a larger 3rd gen.

Would love to get an FJ80. Guy in the town over from me has one that I pass by, to me they look like a Land Rover-4Runner mix. That fat 4.5L I6 sounds great too. Import would be smart, a 40th Anniversary Edition sold on BaT for $77k... :crazy:

This thread is an awesome resource for me as I am doing the manual swap on my 2001! The hunt for the 03-04 ECU continues...

EDIT: WAIT. Verny! You live in Grand Rapids too???? Holy shit what are the chances. Lets link up sometime brother. I want to see your rig in person!

I havent been on here in a while so sorry for the late reply but I would be down for sure! I live right by New Holland Brewery off of Bridge St downtown!

My buddy has a 40th aniversary with the triple lock he bought it for 2500 bucks! Not a shabby deal but hes been beating the piss out of it unfortunately haha
