And thanks to DAW_TWO...

Thanks to DAW_two I now have a new obsession - figuring out how to get a diesel powered small/mid-size truck/SUV.

Lemme try to explain: I've recently traveled on business to Memphis (among other places) and hooked up with Mr. David (a.k.a. DAW_TWO) who was kind enough (tongue and cheek) to showcase his projects. One of them was outfitting a nice 4x4 the Dodge Dakota with a Cummins 4DT engine - something I've been wishing for since I don't know when... thank you very much....

Well, Mr. Weiss - you've awaken the 'deamon' in me - kind of like the deamon that got me to start my biodiesel brewing and eventually led to the MB obsession which I'm still nurturing - thanks to you I can sense that I'm on the verge of being posessed once again - thanks a lot!...

Curious if any members of the forum here have ventured into the diesel conversion in trucks/SUVs of other kinds - I'm sure some of you have - care to share results/progress?

The vehicle that I fancy at this point would be a Toyota Landcruiser ('84-'86 FJ60) with a diesel motor (4-6?)and a manual transmission. A little Ford Ranger would also be great for me. That would be my winter driver and my adventure vehicle.... ah, one can only dream.

Seriously though, was great meeting ya and thanks for the beer - I owe you one next time I'm in Memphis!
