Just bought a 1991 hzj77. PO put a turbo on it. Drives amazing. Has an oil leak I'm trying to get sorted. It's coming from the back of the engine, up top, almost looks like where the head bolts to the block. 😳 I know the valve cover could be a culprit and I read about the half moon thing under...

Yes 35s, front has been replaced, rear is on the list to be done for sure. I knew this about the idling, it tends to idle at 300f, I let it cool to this before shutting off. Good advice! Thank you!

The awning was included per our verbal agreement, until I showed up and he had removed it. 🙄 Intercooler is definitely on the top of the list, which is weird since "it never leaked a drop of oil" 😂. Looks like either the "brand new rear main seal" is leaking. Or something at the too rear of the...

Did you drive it without the intercooler at all? Curious how much it'll help.

Thanks man, I am super excited. I've had a couple fj60s years ago, loved them too, but this is a different animal. The turbo is the biggest concern I guess, never had a car that had more power on tap, but wasn't able to give it the beans cause of temps. It drives like a champ though, 1300 miles...

Thanks for that. The P. O. And I had some... Interesting exchanges that made me apprehensive, but it's made it almost home at this point and run perfect so that's good. I appreciate the info!

The po said 1250 is the number to stay beneath, does that seem right?

I guess I was just looking for a baseline from the community since I've never bought or owned a 70 series, the values seem to be all over the place, knowing I overpaid would make me a little more careful moving forward getting parts and mods so I'm not even more underwater if I ever go to sell...

So I've been lurking for a few weeks, shopping for a 70 series. I'll spare the details but I bought this 1991 hzj77 from a dealer in Washington. He had it for a year and did a ton of work to it. All these items were added within the last year: Timing belt Tensioner Pulley Holset Turbo Manifold...

I'm in Johnstown north of Denver, but I'm pretty mobile. Have a trip planned to crested butte next week.

Just searched through some older posts, someone had an fj with a factory winch and bumper, asked $600 for each, $1200 for both. Let's start at $1200 with the lights.

For sale, bumper with winch, has controller, works. I assume it's 24v as the entire truck is. I am buying this rig Thursday and want to go ARB front and side steps. No idea how to price one of these. Any input is welcome. Would include the lights as well, no details on them yet. You can text...

Yeah for sure, you guys get all the good stuff! My worry is I pass on it and kick myself for not getting it. Hzj77 are hard to come by here....

https://www.jdmoffroad.com/product-page/hzj77-toyota-landcruiser Actually he listed it. Give me your thoughts!

Any worry of a rear main getting oil in the clutch on a long drive? I should've just sat in his driveway and messaged all you guys before leaving... 🤣🤣
