all jokes aside... those snow runs... damn. that looks like a blast. i havnt seen snow in like 7 years. wanna trade 4runners for like... a weekend? :hatsoff:

I have to go over the paint and buff.it here and there.

Your 4runner is looking great! My friend was over there a few months ago and went with some people into the places that look similar to where you are! We are thinking we need to start getting snow trucks like you guys in Iceland!

I got a inline 6cyl nissan patrol 2.8 TDI engine for good price.
I think it is a good engineswap to get rid of the thursty v6.

Some measurements i did

Engine
bellhousing -> front of the timebelt cover 70 cm / 27.6 in
bellhousing -> front of the Engine Dampers / Pulleys 75 cm / 29.5 in
bellhousing -> front of the fan 82 cm / 32.3 in

Truck
Firewall -> "Radiator support " 84 cm / 33.1 in

I think i need to delete the stock fan and add one or two electronic fans in front of the radiator to push air throo..

If i do that i get 9.1 cm / 3.6 in to play with..
And some HP as the stock fan steals some..

pics..

Your truck reminds me of a chick with huge juggs... Looks like slot of fun to ride, but if I'm completely honest it's kind of intimidating. I'm not sure I would know exactly what to do with either one...

:lol::lol:

V6 junk gone

Patrol gearbox is 9cm longer than Toyota

Gear leaver is in the same place

Then the build begins

good lord. this truck is sooo bad ass. with the lowering and all that you have done so far this thing looks truly badass. i cant imagine what this thing is worth or has into it. and you are so lucky to have access to some many great deisel options there for engine swaps, we are severely limited here in the states, so taek advantage of it! as i see you are! lol! cheers!

So when it was supposed to test drive the first time there was no question that the motor was fried
When the motor was opend Spuned rod bearings and main bearings faced me.
Went and got a solid motor tonight that goes in this weekend.
It takes no time as Its ready for a new motor.
