Wife says it's time to get something with air bags, proximity sensors, etc. So Lurch is going to be sold. Even though it's just about the cheapest vehicle, in cents per mile or KM, that I've ever owned. 1990 LJ78 with 231,000KM. Runs great. Lots of upgrades but not of the lifted, rock crawler...
Hello Everyone,
I'm from Illinois and fresh to diesel land cruisers and ih8mud. I'm starting to gather information regarding winter prep for my turbo diesel (2LTE) LJ78 and was hoping you could steer me in the right direction. I'd like to know more about fuel additives (if needed) , oil, tires...
I am trying to mount this thing and don't have time to order the bolts. Anyone know the size of this bolt part number>90119-10367.
Thanks for the help!
Just ordered a denso injector kit for my lj78 and was curious if anybody on here has any info on them. Wondering how much pressure they can handle and if they are reliable.
Thanks,
Ian
Just curious about putting some sort of intercooler system in my 1991 LJ78. Picked it up about two months ago. It's in really nice shape, only has 203 on the clock and zero issues with the engine. I'm really ambitious to put a new turbo in it, but understand that doing so without the proper...
Hey again, in my urrent string of mild repairs i took the cruiser out for a drive. No issue leaving home but i noticed a significant loss in power a couple minutes later. I was only able to get to about 30KPH on a mild uphill. Im thinking its the wastegate on the trubo stuck open, but i also had...
Hi Guys
I wanted to create a thread for my new 1992 LJ78.
Picked it up 3 weeks ago with 110,000kms on the clock. Really tidy
I am brand new to diesels, landcruisers and working on them.
After reading a lot of your threads there is so much cool stuff I have seen done to LJ78's that I would...
Hello all,
First time poster here and current 80 owner. I know this is a long post, but it's got all the detail you might need to help give me advice. I feel like I might be making a mistake but don't know enough about LJ78's, so I'm at the mercy of friendly guru's.

I'm looking to...
Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway...
So, I bought another Prado:
This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a...
My mechanic thought we had fixed my sudden loss of fuel to the fuel pump problem. We replaced the ecu, checked the wiring, etc. but now it’s returned. My LJ78 runs great, a half tank of gas maybe, then randomly stalls. After it completely cools down, it will start up again and run fine till...
New to the forum, new to Cruisers, new to vehicles that sometimes don't work! Also the genius who bought a Prado project as a daily driver :)
What's done? Head gaskets, water pump, muffler, custom exhaust, fresh filters everywhere, miscellaneous belts and bolts.
She still needs an injector...
A week or so ago I started getting a squeal until my truck is warmed up. It took a few days to figure it out but it is coming from the free wheeling tensioner that rides on the back side of the belt. I don't see an adjustment. Help?

A friend's college aged kid with a lot of miata wrenching experience needed work during summer break so I had him put a new ct20 turbo on my LJ78 with 2lte. Ever since the turbo swap I get a good 30 seconds of blue smoke on cold startup. Not on warm startup.
A couple of other odd symptoms...
Bottom line: The AC clutch will only engage in park or neutral.
AC will blow cold at any RPM in park or neutral. Had the wife put it in drive, 2 and L and the clutch disengages. I have checked the hi and low pressure at a shop and both are fine. Pulled off the clutch and everything looks...

After two days of highway driving and one of hard trail running I can say that I'm very pleased with how it's working. I just got a turbo boost controller and installed it, but I them read a forum that suggested just removing the vacuum line from the waste gate altogether. So I did that and ran...
