That would be cool to see! I would love to turn that in to a 4WD beast! Wouldn't be much harder or more expensive than the project i am trying to do.

Grab a camera and take a pic of that for us.

Back in the day, when I was young and spry, I had a Toyota Landcruiser HJ40 - the H designated it as a 6 cylinder deisel, where the gas ones were simply FJs. What an awesome truck! Dual batteries, ultra low gearing, built like a brick crap-house, heavy duty starter that you could actually use to climb up rock with, and dead simple to work on. I would still drive that truck today, if my mom hadn't sold it on me when I went to study in Finland on some weird scholarship I got.

Here's a link to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_FJ40" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My truck was exactly like that one in the first pic, except it was red.
