They will make the Chargers and the fellers that bought one look silly.
There's a guy on a mopar list running a 13.1 @ 102ish with an SRT-8. Might
look silly, but that's not shabby for a dead stock
Curt,
As far as I can recall, they were straight cut right up to the 85 model
change date on the 4x series. The 6x and 7x series were helical cut and
therefore MUCH quieter!

Can't help you with Rover experience aside from mentioning that a friend of

Yup. That's it. Thanks.
I'm not a real fan of SUVs, but I must say that that looks pretty cool. What
powerplants does it offer?

For the USA, just a big gas V6, 4 liters or thereabouts, the standard one
found in Toyota's other compact trucks and SUVs. I imagine the rest of the
world can also get a four-cylinder gas engine or a turbodiesel of some
kind. Sigh.

Based on the 4Runner so bigger than the original I'd think.
I'd surely love to have about an '80 FJ. One downside that springs to mind
immediately if you regularly haul people is the rear
Curt,
Wait until you take one out for a drive before loving it!
The transmission has straight cut gears and they are VERY noisy! I mean
you have to shout to be heard, noisy. The are also a short wheelbase and
you feel every bump.
Don't get me wrong, I used to drive a BJ70 and a BJ42 which
mag just did a write up on them and had a diesel to test.

The last diesel Toyotas in the US would be the 84 Camry TD, and possibly
as far up as the 87 LN51 pickup with the 2.4TD. Not sure when they
stopped the diesel Corollamaybe 84.
In Canada we had the diesel Landcruiser in the wagin version until 87
and in the two door until 89 (?)
