Gratuitous driveway shot.... I've out about 150 km's in it and everything seems great. Now I can start installing some of the little bits I have at home. Drives great again.

Love the trails around Flagpole Knob. Haven't been yet in my KZJ71 but I'll hopefully make it there soon.

She wants to rebuild the knuckles. She has a 66 f100 she's building with me and she's been elbow deep in my lightning most of her life.

Big snow up here in Boone, like 18 inches of it. Being from the beach I've never experienced snow like this before or driving in it. The troopy is now a DRIFT MACHINE in 2WD, in 4-Hi it just drives through anything. Not excited for the snow to...

Another purchase)

And more.

Not an update but and “thank you” to @MrMikeyG for my Christmas care package! Thanks bro! Btw, I don’t weld but now I HAVE to learn. Cheers, my friend

Looks like a fun trip! Man I almost pulled the trigger on that Prado, if it’s the same one that came from Japanese Classics in Richmond (99% sure). Very nice rig.

Welp....it gets pretty cold in Michigan and my 97 LX was my first car, it's hard to find privacy or get hotel rooms when you're 16. I would say I've had her idle for a couple hours or more :stinkyfeet:

Beat them up a bit on the price (multiple oil leaks, Do a compression test, seat leather is shot, old rubber hoses ready to blow, etc) but GET IT. Just normal work to be done.

Making the last purchases (?) for engine rebuild. The only advantage to this process dragging out is that my wallet has recovered. I purchased a new OEM fuel filter, Aisen fan clutch, and OEM exhaust studs for the rebuild. I was also convinced...

Happy new year!

Did some more searching and I think the glow system on this model of KZJ78 didn’t have a glow fuse, but rather uses a fusible link. Does this check? I think I found the fusible link just upstream of where power is connected to the glow plug bus...

Thanks for the reply!! Sorry I had missed this before, just read today as I went to reply to this thread again. So like I mentioned before, I replaced the batteries with no real change. I ended up bringing the truck to a reputable...

Found this thread randomly after searching for something else, then had to go and update my login... guess I haven't been on here in a while :rolleyes: Group 24 batteries are ok, however Group 27 batteries are the correct ones. Larger is...

In my area there is no qualified specialist for a bears caching. In thos year was a lot of cases when bears came into villages. Almost all bears will be killed when they come in villages, peoples in Russia not so concern when it come about wild...

Photo from my work. Someone can guess which actually "car" is it?)

Thanks for the kind words. I live in the Far East near city Chita not so far from Baikal lake. On the photo my village.

I decided to start some kind of build thread. In forward i apologize for my lame english) I can read, but my writing skill is poor. This KZJ78 i bought in 6 february 2021.

I forgot to include to, my friend recently moved to southern California from Japan and he brought is Nissan R33 GTR..the CARB fee was about $10,000. More pics:

Been lurking for a few weeks now and man..so many beautiful Land Cruisers. My wife has always wanted one and so we pulled the trigger on this manual 1994 Land Cruiser Prado which we plan to take back to the states next year. I've heard...

Pulled off the road and onto the shoulder at night. Had my wife hold my 40 to take picture. Safety first, bro.

This just happened tonight and she is running strong and smooth!
