Yeah, such a shame though. They are a nice sounding engine, have good power and run clean.

Ours is a 4JG2 and does around 700km on a tank. It's just passes the 300000km mark and no major issues so far, Running Firestone Destination tyres at $185 each.

Our BigHorn just blew up - first time towing a caravan. Owned it for 6 yrs, regular servicing and has been a dream! Now I need a replacement 4x4 - not worth replacing the engine - too expensive. Good luck with yours!
