Anyone dare to say they have a toyota diesel in their stable?
it has been 3/4 of a year since i had to sell my 300sdl.
I know my diesel-less drive way wouldnt stay that way for long. I just picked up a 1985 toyota 5speed 2-wd from the junkyard with what i think is the 2-L 4 cyl diesel. Im hoping this toyota is a bit more basic than my MB. Any similarity besides glow plugs and injectors? Any other good forums for toyota diesel other than www.toyotadiesel.com ?

Toyota diesels are awesome! Isuzu diesels are also good.

Toyota trucks are great...a diesel is even better. Please report back with fuel mileage figures.

I loved my 79 toyota pickup I got rid of it about a year ago, after I bought the Mercedes. It had 249k miles on it, and it still ran like a champ. It started right up every morning. I was driving 100 miles a day to work in it just before I sold it. I only sold it becuase I wanted to run biodiesel, and I bought a wagon so I could haul stuff in the back, so I didn't need it anymore.
My 79 was really easy to work on. Much more simple than the MB. You'll love it.

I will chime in with an 1986 Izuzu Trooper T/D, great vehicle - kind of felt sad for her this weekend, hasn't been driven in
 Shares a garage with tractors and lawn mowers. I am the original owner, clocking about 190K now - easy to maintain, cut and dry. Maybe should take her to work with me this week.

they say 30 plus for the mpg
as for durability you wouldnt beleve this video clip of a 1985 4x4 diesel. it is a long 20 program where they torture test this truck to kill it. a testiment to diesels indeed. Im not sure my SDL could climb stars as well as the truck but im sure it would kicked butt in being smashed through a outbuilding. if you have the time. the best part is the ending. it involves 24 story building and TNT http://stan.cc.swin.edu.au/~jeff/cars/Top%20Gear%20Toyota%20Hilux%20-%20Unbreakable.wmv
