the 6bt is a really tough fit and a bit more weight than I want in this rig. If I had gotten an FJ55 and was gearing more to adventure wheeling I would probably consider it an option. it would also mean upgrading the axles to built D60s and the tranny and xfer cases as well.
I wish I was still in my diesels class, actually...I can prob. shoot an e-mail to the instructor. He builds diesels for a living and told us if we need a look around we could give him a shout. He mite even be able to find one more local to you so it wouldn't have to be shipped. It's a long shot but if you want I can shoot him one.
