I have read that T100 rotors and calipers work for an HZJ77. I also saw something about 4Runner parts working.
Can anyone give me specific direction for rotors and calipers I can get at a local parts store that will bolt up to this?
Thanks!
I promise I have searched Google and forums and just can't find the tightening sequence and torque specs. Called Cruiser Outfitters and they said they don't know either. It feels like the answer shoukd be easy to find but I have come up blank. Any help?
On the cylinder head of my 1HZ there are these two pressed in hose connectors. I need to get new ones for the new head. Can someone help me identify part numbers? Thanks!
After a few random issues, none of which involved overheating, the mechanic pulled the head and as you can see it is cracked.
The truck is a 1991 HZJ77 with 220k kilometers on it. I've driven it the last 15k of those and right to the day I drove it to the shop it ran great, but I was seeing...
I live in Florida and have never had my truck in cold weather until today. This morning in about 40f weather it took about 15 minutes to warm up and barely ran until it did. No power. Tonight after dinner at a restaurant it started and ran fine but 2 or 3 miles down the road it happened again. I...
The stock exhaust on my HZJ77 is pretty much bone silent. I'm not looking for a lot of noise but I would like to hear it a little. What have other guys done with their exhaust?
Now that early 90's Prados are becoming more readily available in the USA there are quite a few with the 1KZ-TE around. What are the advantages of the 1KZ-TE engine? I really like my 1990 LJ78 and am happy enough with the "light duty" Land Cruiser that gets mocked mercilessly by the rest of the...
I've been waiting for two years to get my LJ78 back on the road. I've wanted to get a Cummins 2.8 crate engine swapped into it but am wondering if there are the parts needed for the swap available yet?
In a dummass incident I dropped a lock washer down the air intake and now it is a permanent part of the inside of my engine. Everyone said it would fail someday but they never would have guessed how!
I'm in Florida and I need an engine.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago that I was looking at an engine swap because I thought I might have dropped a lock washer into the air intake on my LJ78. When I put it back together and started it, after about 60 seconds it started a loud knock. I am just guessing about the washer. My mechanic has...
Has anyone done the new cummins 2.8 into a Prado yet? My 1990 may need a swap and that Cummins would be the dream. If anyone has done it I need their guidance.
A week or so ago I started getting a squeal until my truck is warmed up. It took a few days to figure it out but it is coming from the free wheeling tensioner that rides on the back side of the belt. I don't see an adjustment. Help?
A friend's college aged kid with a lot of miata wrenching experience needed work during summer break so I had him put a new ct20 turbo on my LJ78 with 2lte. Ever since the turbo swap I get a good 30 seconds of blue smoke on cold startup. Not on warm startup.
A couple of other odd symptoms...
After two days of highway driving and one of hard trail running I can say that I'm very pleased with how it's working. I just got a turbo boost controller and installed it, but I them read a forum that suggested just removing the vacuum line from the waste gate altogether. So I did that and ran...
I'm getting ready to install a water to air intercooler on El Troque and have been looking at all of the available options. It looks like the simplest / cleanest / most compact unit that has good capacity is this:
Water to Air Intercoolers
It is pretty good size and square with a straight...
two questions that are probably simple for you more experienced guys.
My LJ78 has some oil leaking around the top of the engine. I see this plunger on the throttle body and it seems to be coming out there, at least partly. Can anyone explain the function of this and potential fix?
Also, some...
