4 Runnnner rolled.. few questions..

Post by IN24BZ »

hi there my mate has a 2.8 forerunner 1994 model , rolled over and stuffed the roof not insured etc etc , am mechanic so no problems with swapping another body onto it without going into too much detail , just wondering if the petrol body is different in any way to the diesel just so i know what i should look for in a replacement.. thankyou very much in advance , ps before i get the just put a new roof pressing on it there is far more damage than just the roof , the chassis is fine as is the engine and rest of the driveline.
Beep. Beep. Beep.. Whats that sound? Oh Look Its Just Another ZD30 On A Tow Truck.. =)

What torque? Tighten it till it strips and then back it off half a turn.

Basicaly the same you will find however that not all bolt holes are in the engine bay if you buy a petrol body. Specifically the bolt holes for the fuel filter. There may be others im not aware of. But it can all be worked around. I would just buy the best one you can find and not worry if its petrol or diesel.

V6 body will have the transmission and low range sticks in a different size/position hole, also the console will be different as will the wiring.


So I would think that the wiring looms will be your biggest hassle between petty and diesal.

If it's an SR5 Limited then keep the drivers seat they are a recaro 7 way sports adjustable seat and much much better than standard.
