Cummins R2.8 LandCruiser 70-Series

[@vanillathunder988]

Congratulations to the owner and builders for putting together a very nice 70. I'm digging everything about it, front to back, inside and out.

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Thanks! It's a great rig that we really enjoyed building.

[@guylindelow2838]

Always a super clean install on the engine swap, if you didn't know, you'd swear it came from ther factory like that. A super clean and well thought out build, well done!

[@arvbnb9735]

Very nice build! We are restoring a 1995 HZJ70 now down here in Central America, keeping the original 1HZ 4.2 but the modern diesel swaps go a long way on performance. Thanks for the video.

[@backroadmonkeys1622]

Very cool! The intake would not work off-road though, dirt, water, mud- scary. I guess a custom snorkel would be a pretty pricy addition.

[@internationalpulse]

I appreciate you guys for showing this video. It really helped me to get a clearer picture of what a badass utility vehicle can look like. Excellent 😎💪

[@TrustingJesus67]

Wow wish I had the money, but I don't. I was given a 2002 kia sportage ago from someone at church, because they found out a didn't have a vehicle for 10 1/2 years. The frame rail and suspension is rusted and 3 ball joints loose. As soon as it does the death wobble, I have to get rid of it. Then it will be back to no vehicle. You guys do a great job. God Bless

[@lukebrinsmead]

Awesome build 👏👏👏

[@carloscarcamo3743]

Excelente trabajo Una aclaracion La serie 70 land cruiser tiene 2 variantes heavy duty y light duty Este es un heavy duty Seria interesante saber si este cummins podria tambien ser instalado en un serie 70 light duty

[@JuanDiegoArrieta]

Nice review, that motor sound really good !!!

[@ZippyLikesZippers]

This is awesome. Great content.

[@rbarrws90]

When attaching the engine to the chassis, was it necessary to make an adapter? Is it possible to attach it to the original hole in the old engine?

[@sanjaemullings]

This would be awesome in a Toyota gen 3 surf

[@rbarrws90]

What is the most complicated part of running this service?

[@tahirusman2298]

The best 4x4s.Toyota!

[@emmanueljoseph639]

Are you guys still in business?

[@efraimmilan]

My dream car🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@juancho9209ninja]

Does is it posible to set it as a amphibious and install a safari snorkel to that engine ?

[@svgparo]

beautiful

[@cuh720]

I wish I could find a place install one in my jeep yj

[@ocapabocla]

great Job in the Front! Do you have the plans available for the people that are interested?

[@dougdelong6161]

No sorry, that was just a one-off modification we did on the fly.

[@ocapabocla]

Anyway an awesome Project, I’ll follow it as reference for my hjk70 build. Thanks for the video!

[@lukebrinsmead]

Alternator is high but what about a water-proof snorkel?

[@daryn2826]

I know this is an old post but I’m from Florida living in Northern Philippines where new Jimny’s are cheap and sell like hotcakes. I bought a used 2020 that someone thought was a boat and destroyed the engine so I bought it for a cool $8500 and TDI turbos are easy to get but I remembered the 2.8…..am I asking for too much for the R2.8 to fit? I’m no mechanic but with the kit and willingness to learn I’m afraid to tackle the job but heat is a serious issue here. It’s like living in Miami but no cold months

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

I can't say for sure but I doubt it will fit in a Jimny. The engine is very wide because of the throttle and turbocharger, plus you need room in front for an intercooler along with the radiator.

[@garysummerhays8562]

Great rig. I am looking for fourth LC. Ball Park figure to do another like this?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Every project is a bit different, so please email us and we can help define a budget estimate - [e-mail]

[@wallybigwheels8993]

Top speed on highway?

[@concretebaron5759]

could i put this in an lj78 ? would i need the trans too?

[@praleadanut]

that's an awesome build! can you post a link to the center console?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Thanks! The console is just one of the Tuffy universal units in the narrow size.

[@GraveBlashyrkh]

You think the cummins would fit into a LJ7x cruiser? The engine bay is a few inches shorter. Would be cool to get rid of the slow 2.4L-TE engine

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

This truck is an LJ70 which originally had a 2LT-E engine in it so the swap is exactly what you're thinking of

[@GraveBlashyrkh]

@@WellSortedAutomotive cheers, now I read it as well. I somehow thought it was a bj70

[@Deckardrick007]

So good! Did you have any issues with the chassis? Cummins have a strong vibration, with small chassis like this one I was wondering if its safe. Also the weight of the actual engine.

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

No, no issues, the original engine was also a 4 cylinder diesel so it's not much different from a weight and vibration standpoint.

[@rbarrws90]

Did the engine connection to the original gearbox require many changes? Is there an adapter available on the market to facilitate this connection?

[@CRsGarage-nz]

Same gearbox thats in the hilux so guess there is some thing out there for that already.

[@KybalionThunderbird]

dude- you can't show this thing without starting it up!!!

[@jordimestre1956]

Me parece que este modelo 70 no es un lj70, debe ser un bj70 si es originalmente diésel, o fj70 si lo era a gasolina, sin embargo es precioso el trabajo realizado. Un saludo

[@joelarriaza1913]

Would this engine be enough for the 4 door lj78prado

[@joelarriaza1913]

Forgot to read the other comments. Awesome video!

[@charleswilmer4751]

How is the sound level inside the truck with the R2.8?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Not bad. You can tell it's a diesel but cruising down the highway with the radio on it's barely there.

[@suryasampanna8208]

This is a beautiful restoration!! Where did you get the handles from?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Overseas supplier, they are new OEM

[@suryasampanna8208]

@@WellSortedAutomotive recently got an LJ70 of my own in Kathmandu, and it needs some extensive restoration. Would appreciate a link, if possible.

[@AMG43ramirez]

How much for this vehicle?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Not for sale, this was a customer's vehicle

[@AMG43ramirez]

@@WellSortedAutomotive what’s the price of this build?

[@Logan-ce2uh]

How much did the owner invest?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

A lot. 😉

[@Logan-ce2uh]

@@WellSortedAutomotive Thanks for your reply I think you guys are great personally I would rather have something like that then pay 80 grand or more for one of those new trucks. Keep up the great work

[@jeremytole3493]

You're not even gonna start it and take it for a spin? I guess it's a show pony then
