cripple rooster why are you surprised about putting the tdi in the 40?
because it's more popular for swaps into smaller vehicles, and the landcruiser can be fitted with bigger engines quite easily, and in spite of having seen many diesel-powered 40-series landcruisers i have never seen any with a volkswagen engine

cripple_rooster that is what I thought before also. But after talking to people that little motor with a simple turbo and injector upgrade has more power than a 350 chevy. The other thing I thought was that I will be losing weight on the vehicle rather than making it a tank. In stock form the fj40 and the 02 Jetta weigh the same.
 
After doing a TDI swap in my Ranger and now my Cherokee I have a few TDI adapters on my web site.

It includes the adapter, crank hub and starter.
The adapter uses the original dowel pins on both engine and trans for perfect alignment.

Here is a video of the Ranger with a stock 1.9L TDI.
