"Hey guys, been thinking of doing a mod on my trusty Toyota Hilux and I'm torn between two options - a new gen Isuzu diesel or an old gen 6.0L gas guzzler. I know people have done this mod before, but is it really worth the hassle and cost? Anyone have any first-hand experience with Isuzu swaps in a Hilux?"

"Lol, gotta say, I've seen some crazy engine swaps in my time, but Isuzu's are definitely some of the most popular for Toyotas. The RB is a beast, but I've heard the 3.0L 4JG2 can give it a run for its money in terms of power and reliability. Just make sure you research the process and the costs, it ain't cheap."

"Dude, I've seen some crazy mods on Hiluxes before but swapping an Isuzu engine? That's a whole new level of crazy. Can't wait to see if someone attempts to pull this off and shares the results."

"Dude, I've seen a few vids of that mod and it looks like a beast on the road. The Isuzu 4BD1T is a solid engine, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle and cost of swapping it in your Hilux. Has anyone here done this mod personally and can share their experience?"
