call me dumb for asking but why do all the snow vehicles have running boards? Just to keep rust off the rockers and doors? Great looking machine btw and I'm really impressed that they can hold up to the cold temps and harsh conditions like they do. I have always thought that the cold is hard on vehicles.

ouch!!!
i am still saving for 37's. My wife probably will not understand why i want to hang on to my 35's..she almost understands having the junk 31's sitting around for rollers.
You guys have some awesome wheeling in Iceland. I was stationed in Alaska for 4 years and really miss winter wheeling

Has somen swaped a inline 6cyl engine into 1990 Hilux/4runner ?
Will it fit?
I can have a inline 6cyl nissan patrol 2.8 TDI engine for good price.
I think it is a good engineswap to get rid of the thursty v6.

Some measurements i did
Engine
bellhousing -> front of the timebelt cover 70 cm / 27.6 in
bellhousing -> front of the Engine Dampers / Pulleys 75 cm / 29.5 in
bellhousing -> front of the fan 82 cm / 32.3 in
Truck
Firewall -> "Radiator support " 84 cm / 33.1 in
I think i need to delete the stock fan and add one or two electronic fans in front of the radiator to push air throo..
If i do that i get 9.1 cm / 3.6 in to play with..
And some HP as the stock fan steals some..
