lj78

1992 prado Need help with some torque specs on a 2lte diesel injection pump and rebuild kit. I am starting with the top o rings while on to see if it’s just that because that is what it looks like. Denso part number 096500-5010. I am new to diesels so any help would be great. Pic for attention.

I bought a really nice Rabbit Auto complete 3.5 lift kit but I have a kid on the way and have decided to keep the truck the way it is for now. This kit is for LJ78 or KZJ78. If you aren’t familiar with Rabbit Auto, they are a small company in Japan that has been making parts for these trucks for...

Hey Mud, Going to go ahead and upgrade my lj78’s battery cables. Just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips in regards to doing the upgrade. Happy to replace as much as I can also also add a trans to chassis ground while I’m at it. Assuming I’m better off just buying cable and matching...

Hey Mud, I recently replaced my thermostat/housing and at the same time had to bypass my heater tap as one of the pipes was so badly corroded (until I can source replacement pipes/hoses). I’m having a very difficult time trying to burp the air out, not sure if anyone has any advice or tricks...

Hey lads, im looking at buying a 2nd LJ78 and one has popped up for a great price but before I pull the plug I'd like to know your thoughts on this. The guy im talking to is saying the head on the truck has been cracked for over a year and he's been daily driving it with no issues around town...

Looking to try and source a rust free or even new lower radiator support (part number for lj78 is 53028-60020 and kzj78 is 53028-60021) In reality these should be identical parts as they are the same frame and front end? Mine is rusted out unfortunately see photos attached. I’m located in...

Hey everyone, I accidentally bought windscreen wiper arms for a 75/78/79/Troopy, thinking they’d fit my LJ78 (as the website had it listed that way & I didn't look at my arms before buying). I compared them to my original LJ78 arms and, while they’d need a different blade/assembly, they’re...

Finally got the daytime running lights wired up, had these LEDs in for a few months now. Came out of an LN106 but I had to slightly modify the brackets to allow them to sit in the adjuster screws properly, looking great!

Hi mud, Apologies for the very simple question, just wondering if this looks to be a front main seal oil leak? If so, do I just need the following: Timing belt cover gasket Timing chain belt cover (just a nice to have) Front crankshaft oil seal Cam shaft oil seal Cylinder head ring pin...

Wanted some LED parklights to match the new LED headlights I recently got but when I pulled them out I realised they're dual-filament? Whats the reason they're not normal T10 wedge bulbs like every other vehicle's parklights. I feel like when I use my indicators I can see the corresponding park...

Hey all, Just curious what RPM a 2LTE prado should sit at going 110kph. From memory mine is sitting at or above 3k which i find very high, but then again could be normal with the 4speed trans. Im only running 31" AT, would switching to 33" make much of a difference? TIA

Hi everyone, I’ve had a read through a bunch of threads but I’m still not 100% sure what’s causing my limp-mode issue. I did see one post where a Toyota specialist fixed it by adding a new ground wire from the engine, but before I go chasing that I wanted to see if anyone has had the exact same...

Hey guys, Hope you’re having a great weekend, I’m looking to get REDARC gauges for my 1991 lj78. Just wondering which is best for this car, its fairly stock at the moment will eventually tune. Only have room for 2 gauges, not sure if I should get the EGT that monitors beyond 800°C or...

Hey everyone, Recently picked up a lj78 and feel as if the car doesn’t have its full power. The only weird part is it doesn’t seem to be every time I drive it, but majority of the time it does feel sluggy. I’ve read through some forums here and believe I may be on the right track in assuming...

Hey everyone, I’ve searched what feels like everywhere but without luck in finding a aftermarket or oem Relay Rod / Drag Link for my 1991 2L-TE LJ78W. Wondering if anyone is selling or is able to send me in the right direction to buy one. Thanks in advance. -R

Hey guys, I was told while getting a RWC (Roadworthy Check) done that my panhard rod is bent, however I honestly thought it looked quite normal. However, I did experience some form of death wobbles if I hit rough roads / aggressive potholes which stops if I slow down. (Which the panhard rod...

Hey everyone, This is my first post here, also first time owning LC. :happy: (1991, 2L-TE, LJ78w) I was changing my fuel filter the other day and had a few quick questions: 1) Is this the original fuel filter? 2) Is there supposed to be a water sensor on the bottom? (View photos) I was...

I'm trying to sell my Lj78 but I would very much like to fix this electrical issue before I list it. All dash lights including battery, filter, etc. (excluding check engine light, strangely) stay on when the truck is running. I replaced the alternator about 5 years ago but I wasn't sure if it...

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...
