    I've thought about this swap myself in my 91 Rodeo ute and am so super glad you've done it in a trooper. Keep the videos and information coming bro, much appreciated. Just done my 2nd head gasket inside 12 months and I'm sick of the lack of speed on the highway too.

    I'm not too familiar with your model of trooper. Mine's a 94 so it's a different body and a few other big differences in there. I'm not sure what the big differences between your's and mine but I imagine with mine being a bit bigger may be more forgiving. But you're selling me on the lexus right now since I'm basically after the same thing you are. Just a more powerful and more reliable version of the same vehicle. I hate my 3.2 in here now but it's still running at 200k.
    I'd still want to keep my AC and hopefully cruise control if I could. MUST keep my manual. Thanks for the information.

    Interested in that adapter you made for the transmission. Hopefully I can find a cheap trooper to do this in considering my daily is a 2.8.
