J,
Hadn't really thought about getting rid of the d-rings yet. But its not a bad idea since the welds don't appear to all that good. Besides they aren't the best of d-rings in the first place.

Not much progress the last couple of weeks, although I have got the oak for the bed stained and a couple of coats of varnish. That has been a fun filled project since I started with rough cut material. It's way cheaper that way. I did finally order the adapter from Luke at 4x4 labs today. So moving forward a little bit a time.
Russ.

Here's a question I've always wondered about with this kind of swap. How does Virginia view a gas to diesel swap? Is there a way to make it "legal" or since there's no provisions is it already legal?

If he is running antique plates then it really shouldn't matter. You are right to ask though, you know VA state inpection might find a a problem with it. As far as I am aware of is, orginial equipment for orginial vehicle. Did Toyota come with a Diesel?
