    Theres a guy on here with that set up, I'd like to keep it a Dually, maybe a small diesel? Maybe bagged, with a useable dump bed.

    Used small diesels seem stupid expensive, too many people with big ideas of swapping them in their vehicles these days. Personally I'd go Toyota and would be thinking 1uz or a turbo 2/3rz, but I suppose a 2jz is also another one people seem to be fans of lately.

    In regards to dump bed, I came across this the other day: Hilux equipped with Perkins TipMaster bed. I've never seen a dump bed that looked like this with an inner bed.

    That's interesting! I'd do a 1uz in a heartbeat.. Probably easier to come by too. I appreciate your input!
