lj78

Hey all, Im currently 6months into owning my LJ78 prado. It's a jap import and has been a 1owner vehicle since arriving into New Zealand in 1999, before I purchased it in 2024. It has 340,000kms and unfortunately the previous owner was no help as to what's been done to the truck as it was her...

My transmission died on the highway while my wife was on a 5 hour drive to pick up her family from the airport! I'm actually based in Japan but the garage says that they can't source replacement parts. Maybe the Aussies are buying them all up? It's a 1991 Prado LJ78W with 2L-TE engine and R151F...

Hey everyone! Hoping someone can help clarify some questions regards wheel bearing adjustment on my LJ78. I am needing to tighten my front wheel bearing, but it appears there’s only 2 positions in which it can be adjusted (realistically).. I have the locking/slip ring with 6 holes, which...

Here’s my situation: I’ve got a 1990 LJ78, a trusty vehicle with under 180k miles that’s primarily driven by my wife. It’s well-maintained with regular fluid changes, so it threw me for a loop when she encountered an issue driving home. She described hearing a hissing sound as she exited the...

Aloha I’ve been having problems with my 91 Prado LJ78. A few weeks ago I was teaching my girlfriend how to drive standard, she kept stalling and then the truck just wouldn’t start. No cranking of the engine just one click after full turn of the key. I was still able to “pop the clutch” and it...

Are there any LJ78 enthusiasts based in the Philippines here?

Currently converting an LJ78 to a cummins R2.8 + a R151, but need the clutch pedal assembly. I thought I had one but turns out LHD 70 series differ from RHD. So it must be from a RHD 70 series. Just need the pedal box and pedal. Thanks! Alex 5414200049

Hey all, I have been a reader of MUD for many year. The information on here helped immensely with my restoration of my 40. This is my first time posting…. Hope I’m posting in the right area. I have a new to me 1991 LJ78 with an electrical problem. I’m getting intermittent power to the dash...

The parking brake / hand brake on my LJ78 has always been rubbish, it will work great for a short time, but will then stop working even after replacing all the shoes and disc/drum. So I have been looking at alternatives, and the two I can find are: 1. Fit a transmission brake - I don’t really...

After doing some fuel system work I was driving my LJ78 and it just stopped. Enough fuel. Injectors are dialed in and getting fuel. I don't think that was the issue. So I looked a little more closely. I found that a fusible link was burnt out. The link ran to the glowplug relay (orange arrow)...

Hi all! Just joined the forum in search of help. I noticed white smoke upon start and it seems to be getting worse. After noticing the smoke I noticed the fuel injector pump has a leak so I'm guessing the two are related. My local mechanic believes he can fix the pump by recalibrating it, is...

1991 LJ78 2L-TE, Automatic Transmission I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I unknowingly ran my engine low on oil - not sure how long. Could have been low for a couple weeks. I changed the oil about a month ago (filled to proper level at that time) and have done mostly city driving since then...

I am having a strange issue with my instrument gauges on my LJ78. It all starter after my alternator failed and blew the main fuse link on the battery. Finally got everything sorted today just to find my fuel gage and temp sensor is not working, including the hand brake light is continually on...

I'm getting this 79K mile '90 LJ78 turbo diesel delivered today. There is a station in town with B30 diesel. Would using that cause any problems? This might depend on a precombustion chamber. Does this engine have that? Thank you for reading and especially a response!
