    Injection lines - Which part number for 1990 2Lt-E?

    The megazip diagram shows two part numbers for the same item in the illustration. For instance, the number 1 line is either 23701-54120 or 23701-54130. Does it matter which I order? I want to replace all 4 lines, since one has cracked, the rest might also. Megazip can ship some here. Any other...

    New shocks recommendation please for my LJ78

    Now that I'm approaching 250km on my 1990 LJ78, I'm thinking replacing the shocks all around is a good idea. So my questions: Which brand and model do you recommend? Which supplier? Sponsors of this forum will be given extra points in my decision making. I'm not planning on changing from my...

    Mysterious stalling, lack of fuel 2LT-E

    My mechanic thought we had fixed my sudden loss of fuel to the fuel pump problem. We replaced the ecu, checked the wiring, etc. but now it’s returned. My LJ78 runs great, a half tank of gas maybe, then randomly stalls. After it completely cools down, it will start up again and run fine till...

    The mysterious ECT button

    What does it do? Who uses it? To press or depress, that is the question. Also, whether tis’ nobler to use the “sport” vs normal setting on the shocks. I can’t tell a difference.

    Tie rod ends for '90 LJ78. Part numbers?

    I've had three different suppliers send me three different tie rod ends for my RHD 1990 Prado. This is for the left hand (passenger's) side of my right hand drive truck, the rod end in front of the axle, not the trailing arm end. Why is this so difficult to find? I've used the usual online...

    Who has the gorgeous tan troopy in Boise Idaho?

    I saw one yesterday near the YMCA downtown. Couldn't stop to take a picture unfortunately. It looked to me like a new (post 2000) troopy like one could buy today in Oz. It made Lurch, my 79, very jealous.

    My LJ78 needs a new back door handle.

    The part number I think I need is 6920990K0016. That's the black plastic handle that opens up the larger back door. My local Toyota parts people are no help, and a web search leads me to obscure web sites where I do not want to send my money. Any help?

    Upgrade from a 2L-TE to a 1KD-FTV or 2KD-FTV engine in a 1990 LJ-78?

    Has anyone converted an LJ78 with a 2L-TE engine to a 1KD-FTV or 2KD-FTV engine? Since, according to Wikipedia, the 2KD-FTV is based on the 2L engine, could I get a modern diesel into my 1990 Prado when, someday, my little 4 banger goes kaput? It's running fine now. I have the auto...
