Yeah...PZ as in the one Wayne is restoring for the Cruiser Days (which I can't wait to see). Looks like the same motor as the 1HZ but minus one cylinder.
i have been watching the prices on the HZJ77 at the auctions and the prices are insane even for high milage, less than perfect units.
they will be a huge hit and huge money when they come to the canadian shores.
the PZ is a 115 hp 5 cyl NA diesel. to look at the HZ and PZ side by side it is hard to tell them apart at a quick glance. at this time i know very little about the PZ (one of hte reasons i picked the PZJ75 as a restoration/refurbishing project. No one on this side of the pond has any first hand knowledge on the longevity, fuel economy, highway driving characteristics of a PZJ. I want to see first hand how this engine stands up to my driving habits.
the mines know about the off-road charcteristics of this engine since they have used them for years.
personally there are a couple of us that feel the PZ is a under rated engine that was abused in the mines and developed a blackened reputation.
cheers

sounds like from what everybody said my safest bet is to look for a clean BJ70(if there still is such a thing). Can anybody tell me what kind of options were availble on the 70 series? Does anybody know about any 70's for sale?

Suspension seats...suprisingly.
Moose: I think we're primarily talking about Canadian BJ70's...the JDM and other world market 70 series probably come with a whole host of options that were never available here.
Rosco, good call.
here is a kicker for yah, Mike Gozzard has a factory roof/sunroof that he got off a rolled CDM 70 sereis at least 20 years ago. i do beleive he has it sitting in his shop somewhere...
so yes add that option (although i never knew they even existed)
cheers

stock sun roof
My '85 '70 has a stock sunroof; the only one I've ever seen so far. For fun, I once priced replacement glass for it at Toyota. Over $350. (That just illustrates the crazy computerized-automatic price increases that all Toyota parts go through).
