Don't think anyone here has one. More common as a Patrol/Landcruiser conversion. Probably get more responses in General 4x4 Tech/Discussion.

Is this for the Raider?

i have been contemplating the 6.5 conversion for mine :D It will wait for 12 months and then i'll look into it. From what i can gather, they are a good reliable engine.... lots of torque..... haven't ridden in a vehicle with one yet.

Not for the Raider, I'm getting a FJ62 cruiser with the conversion already done. Have seen it in action and was impressed with the way it just idled anywhere and everywhere. The fuel economy is also way better than the Raider. Towing a box trailer weighting around 750Kg, I went through 48lt fuel in 200ks whilst the crusier only used around 32lt for the same distance.

Just trying to find out what to expect in general preformance, running cost and maintaining it
