g'day all,
Im thinking about getting a 4runner. I wanted to know what was the last year that the 4runner came out with leaf front?
Also, id be looking a engine conversion, maybe thinking the 2.8/3.0TD? Hard conversion?
What would be some rough prices?
what other conversions are generally done?

i just finished putting a 2.8 turbo into my hilux (same as 4runner). It is pretty much bolt in operation, maybe a few different connections (same wires different connection), but thats all.
I paid bout $2500, which included engine, new clutch, engine mounts, fuel/water/air lines. I did everything myself

hows the performance? Can it manage a hill at 100kms?
What about economy?

Pre 86, and some early 86 models were solid axle front.
Swapping over to a 2.8 diesel motor is dead easy as the motors are the same size physically...
Get hold of a 1KZ-TE with R151F and Gear driven transfer and slap it in...... shouldnt be too hard
Then get 4.88's, airlockers, and IFS rear housing and IFS front hubs and hit the tracks!

the 3.0L TD won`t bolt up and if its petrol and going deisel the clutchs are on the oppisite side so need the bell housing aswell
