Opti diesel fuel improver used in EVERY tank. I have owned the truck for six years. No leaks. No lowballers, Paypal scammers etc. Best to get a hold of me through email. Asking $18500 obo.

Nice truck. They do seem rarer than the HZJ77 even. That said, they have 5/6ths the engine, and I think they run a R15x instead of the H55 transmission. R15x is the same as the manual Prado. Lighter duty than an H55 (in the HZJ77).

"Rare" is relevant to the part of the world you are standing in. I dont think they were all that rare in Japan where most of them seem to come from.
R151 gearbox and smaller 8in diffs (I think)
The 1PZ replaced the 3B in 1990.

@crushers had/has one of these, maybe he'll chime in.

They are rare trucks.
This is a $20,000 truck in my opinion.
You cannot find them in Canada and it would cost this to get one out of Japan with the current market.

Why couldn't it be a 1990?

My slush fund has been depleted by the HJ75 anyway.

The PZ's are significantly cheaper than an HZ here. Take the savings and throw a turbo on it and drive it forever. A lot of the shortys have the PZ and guys here wheel the ever living shaite out of them.... solid and proven.
