That poor Landcruiser froze his shackle off!

Ouch.

Did they offer diesel engines in Canada for the FJ62?

Thanks!

[ostacruiser]

Nope we never got a 62 series here, stopped at the HJ-60 series in 1987. Also the last year you could get a diesel. This is a Japan import 1989 HJ-61 Turbo Diesel with full cable lockers front and rear

HaHa I woulda loved to pull a JEEP through that and see what would be left when I was done!! The ice was 4 1/2 inches thick!!

[SoMeyou]

Yes, very good. The best most capable all wheel drive vehicles, especially with factory locked axles.

great drivin'

lol a buddie of mine did that with an S-10 but the ice was probobly 3 inches think and it sunk up to his headlights, long story short he backed out asked me for a fuse that he thought he just blew but took out his radiator, rad support all headlights both front fenders, all the belts. I ended up towing him up the powerlines for a mile or so but it still ran. I will never forget the look on his face when he saw the front of it XD

@ostacruiser

It looks as if your TLC had the 4 square headlights, so I wasn't sure what it was.

USA got no diesel engines... no H55 5 speed trany's either. : (

So, the 1989 you have included the square headlights, but with the 12 ht turbo? Did I get that right? I guess FJ62 was petrol motor only.

Anyway... it's a great machine!

Enjoy.

PS

Can you readily fined the turbo diesel in Canada?

Thanks.

umm are you calling a 6.5 GMTD reliable? You have never been around diesel engines if thats your mentality. The only engine that is stuffed in a pick up that is reliable is both a 3.9 4bt or 5.9 ISB cummins engine. We have a 2000 24valve that has 626,000 miles on it. Only engine work needed was valve adjustments as required by cummins every 150k. Only two valves were out of adjustment..by .01.

6.5 a reliable motor...thats rich.

Just to reasure you of how reliable the drivetrain is in the HJ61, a guy in OZ escorts heavy haulage etc and his has done 621,000 miles.The parts that were replaced were a complete front axle and six piston rings no other parts need replacing.You find me a diesel 4x4 made in recent times, you reckon would do similar mileage with such little amount of parts that need replacing, and is still reliable until a complete full engine rebuild.Some of the American pickups maybe and the diesel Hummer H1.
