lj78

Hey everyone, I have the opportunity to get and LJ78 or a pzj77 for effectively the same price. What would you rather have? I like the looks and reliability of the PZJ, but I'd have to find a solution for some third row seating. PZJ: 220k miles, looks clean mechanically. LJ: 84k miles. Leaky...

Hi guys Anyone know if an a343f from an ln130 surf or any other land cruiser will fit my lj78 Prado? Water ingress in the transmission has worn the friction rings and looking into options before I rebuild the box.

Hi guys I have an LJ78 with an automatic box. Problem is park engages but all other gears act as neutral? Shifter linkage is operating but no power is getting to the front or rear in reverse or drive. Any ideas on where I should start?

Hi, I need to replace the back door, smaller left side broken window. Is anyone parting out an LJ78 or have a line on glass parts? Thank you

Good Morning from Vancouver, BC I have had mega wobble issues with my LJ78. We lifted the truck and tested the wheels for play. Plenty of play front left to right. I took it into a shop in December and the panhard bushings were replaced. When I brought it back to further address the wobble...

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...

Appears my Master and Slave cylinders have finally succumbed to age and use. Replacing the Master with original parts does not seem to be an option any longer. Has anyone been successful with swapping for parts from other years or models....or know of a good rebuild kit?

Hi Gang! Excited to be a part of the forum. I just impulse bought a Prado Turbo Diesel 2LTE 1990. I love it, but have already had a world of problems. Two oil leaks, a fuel leak, a dead solenoid and hub issues.... YAY! My new concern are both the glow plugs, or alternately the temperature...

Any rebuild kits out there worth getting? Recently came across this kit on eBay and wonder if anyone has anything to say

Hi team, I brought this 1991 sx swb prado. Been parked up in his shed for 10 years with a new head and the egr system removed with a mechanical fuel pump installed on my 2L-TE. It runs smooth. But there not a lot of power. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Turbo, but I can't be...

1990-Toyota Land Cruiser Prado lj78 2LTE. Its automatic gear has a problem while shifting as per the normal functionality of the automatic transmission when it needs to shift into 2nd from the 1st gear it goes to 3rd directly and while shifting between these gears the engine rpm goes higher and...

Greetings, I have noticed that the my starter is not responding for several attempts especially in the morning. Then after several attempts it picks and starts the engine without problems. During the attempts the only single sound from the starter is the contacts sound of the ignition to the...

Hello mates! It's me again, I have decided not to tinker with my 3L-turbo that's giving me some small issues which I find annoying. Plus, rebuilding it costs quite a bomb here (Malaysia) - probably less than what I am going to embark on but still don't think it's worth it. So, I have found...

Hello everyone! Like millions of 2LTE owners before me, I have been spending my time chasing a random overheating issue on my LJ78. The temp will spike to nearly the red at random times with no consistency surrounding the driving conditions. I’ve been assuming the worst, but today I noticed...

Original 7 blade fan and fan clutch from LJ78 2LTE motor. worked fine, but Iupgraded to the 8 blade and a new clutch. If anyone needs these, let me know. Any fair offer to make it worth boxing and shipping them.

Has anyone had experience with blowby on there engines? The truck was consuming quite some oil so I fitted a catch can. Found that fills woth oil pretty quick....200ml with about 150km of driving. Found quite a bit of excessive pressure from the oil cap cover and dipstick when removed which...

Looking at overhauling my 2LTE myself. So I don't run into problems removing the engine. How or what is the best way to split the transmission (a343f) from the engine to remove it?

Starting another build thread for yet another JDM KZJ78 that's landed in PacNW..or rather hoping to continue the good work started by @Lenny33 who let me pick up where he left off. He has a great build thread as well. Lenny33 put alot of great mechanical work to bring this machine to a great...

Hi Guys Ive seen a few EGR forums on here regarding deleting it. Im quite new to these engines and have seen on mine that the previous owner (in Japan) has played around with the system. Can someone tell me or see what they have done in terms with the vac lines? I inspected the inlet manifold...

The 2LTE in my 78 blew up at the beginning of 2020 and I've been looking for an engine to swap into it for a while now. I was considering the 1uz but I recently found a 1kd for sale in my area in great condition. My 78 has the a343f auto trans in it, and I know the 1kd was mated to this...
