I recently acquired 1994 KJ77 that had been sitting for a few years in storage. Imported in from South America back in 2022. LHD, Manual and one of my favorite 90s Land Cruiser colors - Emerald Green.
From my research, these are pretty rare as a LHD since most of these were the RHD Prado KJ78.
The truck as it sits, start, runs and drives fine. It'll need to be properly gone through since its been sitting, but a new battery and she fired right up.
Really love the suspension seats in these!

I am trying to decide what to do with the truck. I have no frame of reference for what one that is sorted and restored would be worth. There is a handful of comps for LJ77 I have found, but not a single one for a KJ rig. Seems like a nice LJ77 will bring $30-40K if they have been sorted and restored. Safe to assume a KJ should be worth that or more or am I crazy to think that?

@texas77series , 30-40k is seems to be on the high end of things. If you bought it to flip it, hope you didn't pay more than 15-18k. Generally, LHD commands more than RHD, and the KZ engine seems to be more reliable than L series. Hope you decide to keep it and enjoy it as an off-road / camping rig. You'll find lots of help here on this site if you decide to "go though it" yourself. Otherwise, good luck with flipping it.
