I have The KZ 1te ... That's normal for the Oil... Mine is always around 1/3 up... But when Tested.... It works perfect. Never had any Issues with this engine. I change the Oil every 3500 Miles.. flush... & Replace All Filters. Flush the Radiator Spring & Fall with Proper seasonal Fluid and replace the Thermostat . She's a good Engine if you take Care of her.
I had this in Africa as my daily but finally brought it back when we moved back to Boise, Idaho. If anyone else is here I would love to meet.

Will be taking the body off to get everything sorted, suspension, pop top, solar and fridge. Its mostly straight, frame is great, rear bottom quarter had a hit and bad repair at some point, and the fender flares have collected some rust but otherwise its relatively clean.

Very cool! I believe @Owyhee Jackass is in Boise and has a Troopy, and @SNLC has an awesome LC shop there as well.
Si. I'm here, with Troopy and we're meeting up at SNLC's shop in Garden City tomorrow(12/14), 1730-ish until whenever. I'm bringing a grill and some tube-steaks. Get in touch with Adam aka theside00 to get added to the local googlegroup.

Merry Christmas!
New to the 70 series land cruiser. I got it last week. Had an 1991 fj80 before.
The cruiser and I reside in Ocracoke NC
Its a kzj78
automatic unfortunately (wish it was a 5speed)
234k on it
It has a ome 2 inch lift
33x12.50 15
Has a few things I am fixing including putting manual hubs on it (the e hubs were unfortunately acting up and they got me stuck the first time I took it on the beach.
I plan on maybe changing tires and rims out for something a little more simple/utilitarian looking. and probably go with 33x10.50s
I probably will re rout the muffler to dump out the back as well.
Using it as a daily driver/ vehicle to drive on the beach to check the surf

That is gorgeous. May I ask what importer you worked with or was it already stateside?
Thank you! I love her a bit more with every drive! Having a 70 series and a 40 series is about as fun as it gets!
She was already imported by the PO in Oregon, and I believe he did pretty much most of the work himself. Very grateful that he did!

Thank you. I have an HZJ73 that is my wheelin' joy but I'd love to build out a KZJ77 for longer trips. Don't know how serious I am but we will know by EOY.
Cheers,

I bet that's a fun little whip with the 1KZ.
