kzj78

Okay, super random question here. I’ll be attending a drive in movie in my diesel landcruiser, the engine needs to be off but I need to have the radio on. My question is, when I turn the key on halfway (enough for the radio to get power) the glow plugs activate, do glowplugs have an automatic...

Would anyone be able to help source a power steering pump to the U.S? It’s for a 94 kzj78. Any ideas would be appreciated.

so for the past couple months my ac has a squeal every once in a while. noticed the tensioner was loose, didn't fix it in time and the whole pulley flew off, lesson learned. replaced with brand new tensioner pulley and also ac compressor belt, but the squeal still happens. its definitely coming...

Hello everyone, I have a 1994 KZJ78 (1KZ-TE) that I imported from when I was living in Japan. The truck recently started acting up ever since I got it back from the shipper. When the truck is running, something causes the whole electric systems to shut down. I can't roll down any windows...

So after my brother killed my land cruiser by leaving the headlights on overnight, jumped it and got it started again, everything’s fine except my radio (Sony CarPlay) won’t start up again. Screen won’t turn on, no power from the usb charger on it. But everything else in the truck works...

Anyone know what this leak is coming from on my land cruiser? Coming from the front left side, looks like it’s from whatever that is right in front of my left motor mount. Also any idea why I have this tube that’s attached to the frame but isn’t going to anything on either side? Thanks- 1994...

Noticed my 94 kzj78 had a pretty bad leak in the transfer case. Took it to my mechanic and he said it looks like the gasket is bad between transmission and transfer case and it’s dumping transmission fluid into the T case and it’s basically overflowing it and dumping out and that’s why it’s...

Looks like my transfer case is dumping a pretty good amount of liquid. Looks like its coming from somewhere up top but not sure. Everything drives fine though

Few pictures from the install of the snorkle for my 1996 kzj78 with the 1kzte engine. There were no instructions online so i decided to document this . Its still a work in progress but here is the result so far

So I let my brother drive my car and he left the lights on overnight. Battery died so we jumped it. Now my Sony Apple CarPlay unit won’t turn on and the usb charger port doesn’t have any power either. I didn’t install this thing so I have no clue how the wiring and stuff works or I would take it...

Hi everyone , new to the forum Just purchased a kzj78 few weeks ago. Located in NY I need to source a high output Alternator Here in the states. Ive been looking and can only find them in AUS and 1. The alternators i have found dont specify the fitment on a KZJ78, but they are for a 1kzte so i...

So I noticed at the back of my valve cover gasket there’s a nice amount of buildup of some black sludge. I’ll post a photo. There was so much that I couldn’t even see there was a notice badge on there. I’m also not entirely sure what this little nozzle does or why it’s so loose, maybe that’s the...

While checking my fuse box I noticed there’s a missing fuse on the spot titled “glow” I’m assuming it’s glow plugs? Could someone confirm this, just want to make sure I’m not missing something crucial to the engines health. The other missing one is titled “diff” but I’m not sure if that’s just a...

So today I noticed the overdrive off light was flickering, then I saw my speedometer not showing my speed and also not counting miles anymore. saw a forum maybe said speedo cables bad, where exactly is that cable located and how do I tell if that’s the problem?

just about time to replace my brake pads on my 94 kzj78 , and I’m looking to see what my best options are? Are any US model pads compatible with mine?

so I've got a 93 kzj78, for the past couple of days, whenever i turn on the ac there's a clicking sound in the left side of the dashboard, its sounds like some kind of fan is lightly hitting something, today i got in and turned on my ac and nothing happened, no ac or heat, and the fan wouldn't...

$18,900 Selling one of my KZJ78s (Prado). 1kz-te 3.0 ltr. This is a 1994 with 224,000 kms (roughly 140k miles), but that will go up as I'm daily driving it. The truck is in great mechanical and cosmetic condition. I imported 2 (long story), and have decided this was the one to go. Legally...

It is time for me to let go of this beautiful Land Cruiser Prado. I recently had this car imported from Japan, but due to some changes in my life, it doesn't make sense for me to own this vehicle anymore. Since purchasing, I've really only put commuter miles on it to and from work and a few...

Hi everyone, I would like to talk about shock absorbers diameter, not suspension lift value. Are there somebody who has an experience with mid-high range monotube shock absorbers on KZJ78 like King, Fox, Radflo, SAW, Bilstein and so on? It is pretty hard to get good suspension play for...
