I know this thread gets referenced a lot for the KZJ78s as well because they are similar to LJ78s, so I figured it might be a good time to share some findings.
I can confirm that the consumables IE brake pads and rotors front and rear do cross over to from the list mentioned at the beginning...
That truck is an automatic. I need to pop the hood, but I am pretty I know where you are talking about to pass power through. I like the idea of using the aux power box and power everything from that. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Karmapolice I noticed what I think is a fog light switch left...
Do you have any pictures of where you installed the probe?
Also do you mind sharing how you went about your wiring. I am in the collecting of parts stage of this project and I am just trying to see how others have gone about it.
I foresee a ratcheting tap handle or tap sockets in your future after making it happen a 1/4 turn at a time.
Was your caliper just being held on by the lower bolt if the top was stripped out? Or did it strip out on the way out?
Still lurking, might even time it right one of these days to make it back down to NM to one of those fancy breakfasts gatherings that got started up, so I can see this swap in person.
I am looking for a spare 1KZ power steering pump for a KZJ78. Part number is 44310-60220. Doesn't have to be new, but does need to be in good enough shape to rebuild.
Thanks
Good to know that is was a pretty straightforward process. I have a used steering box on the way and I suspect once it comes in I'll ship it up to Redhead because I think that box is gonna have to get swapped out before long. I won't complain about getting 29 years of service out of it.
Anything special with sending it off to Red Head. Did you send a seal kit with it or other parts or just say please refresh it? Did your box have a leak or just too much play?
After finishing up the next round of work on the Prado might need to do a test drive up to Waltzing Kangaroo as a shake down ride and see what that place is all about.
Oil and filter change on KZJ78 and also learned if you write the mileage upside and parallel to the text printed on the filter it is legible when installed, but only if you have good hand writing...
Lastly, 09228-10002 is the part number for the oil filter wrench if you are inclined to get your...
I've been thinking about everything you have been posting about and getting the alignment correct for the input shaft, pilot bushing, clutch, etc. Are you thinking the transmission input shaft was never on the same centerline as the flywheel because there was just enough play in the entire...
