KZJ71 is the designation.
KZ = 1kz engine
J = light duty
70 = easy enough, 70 series.
Landcruiser 2.

Don't think J=light duty, think it is supposed to =jeep.
All 70 series cruisers, and other series, have J in the model, both light and heavy duty.
Yes correct. Thanks for the correction.
If LJ71, its the L which designates light duty.
hmmm isn't the light duty swb prado petrol 70 series called RJ70 or vice versa
Perhaps I am wrong ( according to my wife I usually am) but I thought the "RJ" designation meant gas burner. ...1978HJ45
Yes 22r petrol is RJ70
2.4L deisel is LJ70
These 70's are known as light duty, as they have the 8" axles with coil springs as opposed to the 9".
LJ78/kzj71/kzj78 light duty.
"1984 - 70 Series was introduced. 70Heavy as a soft-top, hard-top, FRP top, utility, cab-chassis, and Troop Carrier (inward facing rear seats).The petrol engine was replaced with a 4.0-litre 3F engine. The 70 Light had a four-wheel coil spring solid-axle suspension for better ride quality. This lighter duty version of the Land Cruiser had the 22R 2.4-litre gasoline engine, 2L and 2L-T ( turbo ) 2.4-litre diesel engines commonly found in the Toyota Hilux. The 70 Light was sold in some markets as the Bundera or the Landcruiser II, later called 70 Prado. "

As already mentioned, the L in LJ70 is the engine designation, L=2L or 2L-T, the R in RJ70 (a petrol/gasser light duty Prado) =22R.
Same as the other models, the letters preceding the J in the cruiser model codes are the engine designations, KZJ=1KZ-T/1KZ-TE engine, HZJ=1HZ, HDJ=1HD-T/1HD-FT/1HD-FTE, etc., etc.
The -T is for turbo, the -TE is turbo with electronic injection.
Not sure about the F in -FT and -FTE, maybe it designates four valves per cylinder?
The LJ70 and RJ70 are called the Bundera rather than Prado or Land Cruiser II here in Australia, and we don't get the LWB/4-door LJ78/79.
The 70/71/72/73/74/75/76/77/78/78 part of the model code refers to the 70 series and the sort of designates chassis/body/suspension type.

What I ment mate is you said the L in lj70 means light duty , the rj70 is a light duty also but the R in rj70 can't spell L for light duty light
Thanks for the correction and clarification. I owned a LJ70 for long enough and should know better
The LJ78 was available in Malaysia with the 2LT and the 3L engine. Alot of folk have converted there LJ78 to 1kz uisng halfcuts and body changes here, mainly to auto. The RJ78, if that correct, was also available with 22r.
The LJ70 was available with either 2L or 2LT and the RJ70 with 22-R. Only 400 of these units, LJ/RJ70 were ever imported.
No 2LTE were available.
In your first post your answered it yourself, then it was answered again in the second post.
It is a KZJ71.

This is very useful and taken from wikipieda
A Valvematic variable lift intake head
B Twin SU-style side-draft carburetors
After 2000 indicates E85 Ethanol fuel.[citation needed]
C Carburated / California Emissions Controlled
D Twin Downdraft carburetors
E Electronic Fuel injection
F Economy narrow-angle valve DOHC
G Performance wide-angle valve DOHC
H High compression
High pressure charged (example: 2L-THE) I Single-point fuel injection
J Autochoke (Early models) or unknown pollution control
L Transverse
M Philippines' market (meaning unknown)
N CNG fuel
P LPG fuel
R Low Compression (For 87 and below octane fuel)
S Swirl intake (1980s)
SE Direct injection (1990s)
T Turbocharged
U With Catalytic converter Japan-spec emissions
V Common Rail Diesel Injection (D-4D)
X Atkinson cycle (typically also indicates a Hybrid engine, as Toyota only uses the Atkinson cycle with hybrids)
Z Supercharged
Note: Other manufacturers may modify the engine after it has left the Toyota factory but the engine still keeps the original Toyota designation. For example, Lotus added a supercharger to the 2ZZ-GE in some versions of the Lotus Elise and Exige but it is still labelled 2ZZ-GE, not 2ZZ-GZE.
For Example
A - The Engine Family it is in
G - Wide-angle dual camshaft
E - Electronically Fuel Injected
- The first numeric characters specify the engine block's generation
- The next one or two letters specify the engine family
- The suffix (separated by a dash) specifies the features of the engine:

Yup it's a damn nice looking KZJ71 please drive down to us in Malaysia to look after for you. Lol
crushers
post ho
anything with "L" is light duty, yes it is the designation of the engine but that engine ended up in light duty vehicles
hence my statement:
stay away from vehicles with LJ/LN in the vin (same with the KZ but that is for another thread)

It is obvious that when the LJ78 owners fan club holds their next annual meeting you should be excluded as our motivational speaker.
