I've been looking for a replacement pair of nozzles for the headlamp cleaner/washer on my J78 Prado.
I've tried everywhere: Amayama, BE FORWARD, Cruiser Outfitters, Toyota DBX, binmahmoodstores, Mega Zip, Mudrak, you name it. I cannot find part# 85044-60011 ANYWHERE.
Oddly enough, my Land...
Tigris,
Not sure, honestly, this was just the designation on all of my paperwork.
Per ChatGPT:
"1. **KD**: This typically stands for the engine type and emission standards. "KD" often refers to Toyota's diesel engines, especially those that meet certain emission standards.
2. **KZJ**: This...
Bringing this one back to the top.
I ordered the Dobinsons Stock Height Restoration kit and it's on the way as we speak. I like the current height on my J78 but the suspension is pretty clapped out so I'll just knock this one out. I think maybe an inch of lift would be just right so I'm hoping...
Everything went smoothly. I paid a trucker who was recommended by the importer to pick up the truck for me which was well worth the measly $300 dollars instead of going to JAX myself.
Battery was DOA but I had the trucker drop the J78 off at a local shop, and I let the shop know it was coming...
I finally picked it up yesterday. I had all my paperwork in order so the DMV was only a slight hassle, but I got it all taken care of in one trip. I am in utter disbelief about the condition of this vehicle. 99,000 km, but it looks like half that. The interior is like new. My mechanic installed...
The truck finally arrived! The shop said it looks mint. Unfortunately I’m out of town for a couple of weeks for work, but that’ll give the shop enough time to look it over and give it an undercoat. I’ll keep everyone posted.
Misterclean, thanks for this thorough and helpful reply!
Where do I get an intercooler for this engine? Is it a difficult install?
Noted on the fan clutch rebuild/relube and thermostat and coolant drain/refill.
I don't want too much wheel - I'm not offroading, but I would like to fill out...
Hey everyone,
I'll soon take delivery of a 1996 J78 Prado, pictured below. This will be my second Land Cruiser (I had an FJ62 that I bought from a member here and sold several years later). I wanted to get some advice from everyone as far as the next steps to complete with this build, mainly...
I don't know if it's cheaper or not, all I know is that I don't feel like driving 2 hours round trip to bring it to the nearest place I trust with a Cruiser plus the wait. If there's a shop that the agent trusts who presumably sees these all the time and has ready access to OEM parts, that'll...
Stuff I'm definitely having done:
Battery checked and if old, replaced
Engine oil + filter
Air filter
Coolant
Fuel filter
ATF
Transfer oil
Brake oil
Replace timing belt / water pump / tensioners
Check Thermostat
Check Wiper blades
Check AC charge
Seems like you and I are of the same mind. I...
Hey everyone,
Former FJ62 owner here. I just won a J78 Wide (KD-KZJ78W) on the USS Tokyo auction. It's got 99k km (62k miles) on the 3000cc turbo diesel. I paid for an in person inspection and the car looks great. Minor surface rust on the undercarriage, exterior and interior look near new. I'm...
Hey all!
I have a set of rear speakers from my FJ62. They are in excellent working condition, and include the grills (as pictured). I will sell for $35 shipped, and I will consider offers if I haven't sold these in a few days.
Email JJReevesii@Gmail.com if you want 'em!
As pictured. Has a ding in the low-driver-side corner, and a little warp/dent in the high driver-side corner. No rust, otherwise in great shape, and the dents/dings do not affect function - it works just fine.
$75. You pay shipping if you want this delivered. I have some miscellaneous door...
Hey guys-
I came into possession of a door lock for my FJ62. I had a company re-key the lock and install it on my passenger door, which had a mangled and non-functional lock. In the process of installing the new, re-keyed lock, the shop also mangled the new lock, and, while it works, it looks...
