Well Sorted Automotive<\/a> built this 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser at their company in Englewood, Colorado. Up front they swapped a 2.8 L Cummins R2.8 turbodiesel inline-four capable of 161 hp (120 kW) and 307 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. Behind that is a Toyota R151 five-speed manual transmission. A Toyota split case transfer case sends torque to rebuilt 70-series axles. The Land Cruiser sits on a 1987 LJ70 chassis with a rebuilt suspension. On top of that Well Sorted Automotive installed a BJ70 body painted in Toyota TRD Pro Cement Gray with a custom front bumper and heated LED headlights. The interior received Bestop seats, Tuffy center console, and modified gauges. <\/p>\n
