put diesel in it and drive it....

if you need to ask "what mods" then the vehicle is more capable than you are.

Do you peolpe remember 80GGD from 4wd monthly issue 89, Silver GU Series 4????

Well if you do that was mine!!!

So, yes i can drive, it just that i hate seeing a stock car just sitting there!!!

Oh and i sold my GU to buy a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, so the money thing sure aint a problem.

So some advise on Toyota shit would be appreciated, i already have started with a snorkel, turbo, lift, tyres, full service...

What size lift you suggest ???
What size tyres do you suggest???

Oh and i don't care weather its leagal or not!!!

Dont waiste your money on a turbo....rip out the motor and put a 1hdft from a 80 series in it, with the hzj75 series bellhousing or complete box, a bundy chassis, or part thereof (coily) 80 series diffs....and boy you would be unstoppable....
For a short while in 1990, the 70 series came out with a 1hz optional...so it isnt a problem with engineering....
