kzj78

Hey guys, I'm looking to either part of this 1KZ or sell as a whole. I just received this engine as of 10mins ago and have to get rid of it due to having to move to another country. the plan was to swap it into my LJ78 but I just don't have the time anymore to do it. She was pulled out of Hiace...

Thinking about selling my land cruiser- here are the specs. 94 land cruiser kzj78 prado RHD imported early 2020, I got it in may 2020. its been my daily driver since. Upon import it went to FitGarage who did timing belt/water pump, thermostat, steering knuckles, flushed cooling system, diffs...

G'day folks. So I just won an auction on a 95 Prado SX Wide after many many failed attempts. I'll save you the time of asking why I didn't go with the 4.2... I couldn't afford it. Knowing that when it gets to Canada, at minimum I'll have to put new rubber on it as it doesn't meet the three dot...

Greetings all. I'm in another country and ARB parts have to be ordered and take months to arrive here, but on this local classified ad, an individual is selling an ARB Kaymar rear bumper used for $600. Can you guys help verify if it's actually ARB?

Entertaining idea to trade, plus or minus cash depending on trade quality. I have a 1989 200tdi Defender 110 that is a daily driver that imported in around 2014. I have service records and receipts a couple inches deep. Turbo diesel with LT77 tranny, and LT230, with a salsbury (dana 60) rear...

Im new to the 70's if this has been discussed at length before I apologize. When I took posession of my 96 Prado the battery in it was an undersized group 34 Autozone special. It works but was loose and too small in the battery tray and didn't leave me any confidence adding accessories like...

Hello 👋🏽 I have a few days off due to the holiday weekend (in the USA) and I want to do something productive and swap out all the fluids that I haven’t gotten around to ever since getting my KZJ78. I have a few questions and I want to ask help for those more experienced in these type of cases...

I first reached out to John/radd cruisers on July 17th looking for an ac compressor after seeing a similar model to the one I was looking for on his website. he was able to find me the right part and got it sent out July 21st. I payed a crazy amount for next day shipping because I needed the...

Hello! I have an issue regarding my 1994 KZJ78 and wondering if you guys can give me any pointers/diagnose what's wrong. I upgraded the ancient aftermarket suspension to a Dobinson's 2" kit and afterwards I noticed that the driver's side on my rig is a bit lower than the left hand side. It wasnt...

Hey all, I can not for the life of me find anywhere online selling seat covers for a Prado 1993. I have seen a number of KZJ78 go up for sale with them on but can't find where to purchase them. Looking for a leather look like the below. Any suggestions would be stellar. Thanks!

Hi all, Figured I would share my latest acquisition: a classic/original 1993 KZJ78 Prado. It's in very sound condition overall, and the seller had owned it for the past 13 years (with receipts throughout their ownership). Plan for this is a simple yet a effective touring build. It already has...

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well! I have trawled the "Search" area in the hunt for info around what people's wheel + tire + lift setups are on their KZJ78 Prados. Unfortunately I have read a lot, but not seen many photos with examples to share. As the thread title suggests, I am after some...

Hi team, Firstly, feel free to move this to the appropriate forum if it's in the wrong spot. This was thread was initially intended to simply show you guys my 1993 KZJ78 Prado here in New Zealand. She's an absolute gem: factory navy blue (hard to find!), just 165,000kms, and the truck...

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?)

Hello! I needed to replace a stripped wheel stud on my KZJ78 (‘94) and when I got around to whacking it with a hammer one spring behind the rotors came loose and fell on the ground. When I was able to remove the stud the left side plate came loose and now I have a handful of springs and stuff on...

Bought vehicle in winter time and never tried the aircon. Shipped vehicle to the USA and tried aircon this summer. Noticed that the clutch would NOT engage no matter what. Had a half can of R134a and decided to put some in. All of a sudden, the clutch kicked on while parked in my garage. I put...

Hey all! Finally got around to getting some new work done. It’s the first round of mods since I bought the Prado in November. I ordered a rear bumper and swing kit from coastal off-road. These kits are awesome and it doesn’t take a professional welder to assemble. After a lot of shopping...

Need some help sourcing an AC compressor for a kzj78! New is ideal, but I’ll consider used if it’s in good condition. Need it soon! Haha thanks. 1994 kzj78 1kzte

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...

Hey All! New here to the forum and a new owner of a kzj78. Forgive me for my naive question but I tried searching through the forum and couldn’t find any specific post that could help. I’m in the process of trying to purchase a set of new tires and wheels but want to get a certain look where...
