I’ve never had an overheating issue, but ive searched everywhere for an intercooler setup for this thing (just for preventive Maintenance), and there’s really no options out there. People have custom fab’d some on the front, but u most likely have to sacrifice AC. The later 1KZs came with top...
They’re just a set of steel wheels from an fj40, there’re some companies out there that have brand new ones in stock. And yes tires are 32x11.5, great size and the falken at3s are the best imo.
I love my 32x11.5’s because they’re thick enough that they have a nice beefy stance, which makes them seem taller than they are. And I have no complaints on the Ironman suspension. Feels amazing on the road, honestly the best feeling solid front axle vehicle I’ve driven. And has some nice flex...
ive got a 2 inch ironman lift and 32x11.5's. they fit really nicely with only a very slight rub at full turn. I personally wouldn't go any bigger than these because of the size of the engine.

What are all the differences between the kzj78 and LJ78? Obviously one has the 1kz and the other has the 2.4 liter, I also know the dash on the 2 are slightly different, other than that are they the same? (Axles, transmission, transfer case, brakes etc?)
So I’ve started Getting a noise coming from my ac compressor when the clutch is activated, it sounds like a bearing is going bad, it’s noticeable but not a screech or anything. There’s also a red sort of dust surrounding the area now and not entirely sure why, but the wobble on the front end is...
Have not changed diff fluids. Probably should. Air filters good. Thanks for the advice. Also @Rosco, I haven’t come across a kzj78 specific manual, only later model 1kz hilux manuals
Hey everyone. I just hit a year of owning my land cruiser and I just wanted to hear what you guys would recommend for some maintenance. I’ll give a list of what I’ve done
At 92,000 kilometers:
Water pump, timing belt, new thermostat, steering knuckles, radiator flush, new suspension.

You think it’d help at all though? The goal is to intercool it and get an exhaust, but I’ll be going in a 6-7 hour one way trip pretty soon and throwing the big tent on top and the wanted to give the engine any help it can get with the temps. Can’t do a big project like FMIC or exhaust rn so...
