Hello Everyone, Picked up this cruiser last week in Okinawa, I'll be here for another 2 and a half years so may as well ride in style. She's got north of 300k on her but runs like a top. Fresh paint and a new set of 31"s and M/T rims to top it off. Not gonna build it too much until I get...

Hey guys, so we've been in Colombia now for about 2 weeks, after shipping the truck from Mexico, we went through some pretty sticky mud in the somewhat dry lakebeds of the Guajira desert and did some dune driving and hitting mountain mud roads. But overall, no real difficult or heavy 4x4. I...

I've got a 1994 KZJ78 with chrome, electric outside mirrors. The chrome is pretty beat up and I'm contemplating replacing them or painting them black, I understand painting over chrome is less than ideal. While searching for replacements, I noticed that the VDJ78/FZJ78/VDJ79 mirrors (part...

Looking for 4 exhaust valves for a 1KZ-TE top-end rebuild for my 1994 LC Prado KZJ78. Toyota Part #: 13715-67020. I'm finding it hard to track these down in the US - let me know if anyone has any leads!

hi, I own a 96 kzj78 and wondering if anyone has had any issues with extreme vibrating/shaking at starting vehicle. Thanks in advance

Hey all, so recently I’ve been noticing when i accelerate I sometimes will end up going past 10psi and getting fuel cut. I don’t run a boost T or anything like that, so I shouldn’t be going over the normal stock boost levels. Im guessing it’s potentially a wastegate issue. I’m planning on...

Anyone have a recommendation of where to take a JDM cruiser to for state inspection? I have a KZJ78 that’s due.

I'm looking for a 1KZ-TE engine hoist hook or lift hook as it may be referred too. I have not been able to find the part number but this is the front one and I need a replacement as mine clearly uh yeah. Changing motor mounts out and it gave up the ghost.

Hello all, I do not have a vehicule yet but felt it proper to introduce myself. My pseudo is K and I’m looking to acquire a KZJ77 or 78. I have many questions to bother y’all with. I am based in France and my intention is to convert it into an overlander to visit Europe in the short term and...

This noise isn’t consistent, I have had it happen three times at this point. Best guess is maybe the starter motor is being slow to retract the gear and it’s still engaging the flywheel. Anyone have any insight or similar experience.

Hi, I had a leak from the rear of the injector pump on the 1KZ-TE. I took off the injector pump and replaced the o rings and put the pump back. The engine started up but it still leaked. I figured it was from the rear valves since I didn't replace the gasket on those. I only wanted to replace...

Greetings all. I removed all 3 of my wiper arms and dropped them at the powder coaters last week. They are ready to be picked up and I noticed before dropping them off that one of the front ones is longer than the other one. I think the longer one goes on the driver side (RHD vehicle) but wanted...

I purchased this super nice KZJ78 from member @kgrove literally yesterday. This is my first Land Cruiser but I have wanted one for years and I have had several different 4x4 vehicles etc. I wanted to start a build thread to show the changes I make and just the regular progression of it and as an...

Hi! So, I'm in the process of sorting out the butchery of wiring many JDM trucks seem to suffer from. This KZJ78 has an aftermarket keyless entry/alarm installed by a heathen in Japan. While I'm trying to tidy up and remove all the superfluous hack wiring, I noticed that my ECU-B location...

Hello~~ Got this weird whirring sound that just came out of no where. Not sure what it is. I thought it could be related to the A/C being on and/or my rev range but cant reproduce predictably. Thoughts anyone? Timestamps of whirring noise: 12sec - 15 sec 48sec - 49 sec 55sec - 58sec 1.03sec...

Hey Folks, Suspected a starter issue with my KZJ78 but never worked on one before. Pulled it and checked the contacts. There is definitely some wear. What do you think of the condition? I'm thinking clean the plunger contact and replace the others. Can anyone help me with part #s? Any other...

Good afternoon y'all! The clutch in my A/C got completely seized and stopped working. At first, there was a "chirping sound" coming from the engine for a while and then the truck stopped blowing cold air. When I inspected it, I found some sort of metal shavings coming off between the clutch and...
