KZJ78 in Conifer, Colorado - Japanese Imports.
Let this serve as the “before” pic!

1985 BJ70 LHD 24V import from somewhere in EU. Located in Nashville.
Just picked it up a month ago and started tearing in to the inside. I purchased this as an abandoned project and it also included a canadian 1986 BJ70 as a donor. The donor actually has good glass, a supposedly good engine and tranny. Lower panels show a bunch of rust though. Once I switch over all the interior, I'll post it up for sale.
I have had a FJ40's but man, I'm really digging this 70. It rides better, has more room and I really like the look. I'll probably paint it in a year or two as I'm not 100% committed on the yellow.

Finally received my 1993 KZJ78 and drove it home to New Mexico. Its definitely going to be a project getting it ready for the intense desert heat. Has some kinks, but I am really looking forward to keeping it on the road. Been wanting one of these for a while, its going to be a nice project vehicle.

Looks awesome - good luck with the project!
Thanks. Dealing with the same issues that you are in regards to the cooling system. About to fabricate a new dump pipe and address the fan clutch mod. It ran pretty warm during the 300 mile drive home in 30 degree weather. Came with a bent rear axle which want noticable nor disclosed when I test drove it.
It’s been cold here, but the fan clutch mod seems to have helped a lot! I still don’t hear much of a fan roar that people talk about, but the temp is staying where it is supposed to.
I think the dump pipe is next on the list and then I may consider figuring out an intercooler mod.
Picked up my '92 LJ78 after Christmas!! She is a clean original beauty inside and out.
Located in South Orange County, California.
I am a total "newb" and will be reading most of the forums as homework.

1HDT , Alucab pop top and Goose Gear interior are the biggest adds but quite a bit else.

I just assumed it was already on here.
If I had known that you hadn't already posted your Troopy I would have pestered you a long time ago.

It kind of is. I posted it when I owned it. Just checked and the post is January 7, 2018.
It's a totally different car now. Worthy of seeing again.

The numbers should be impressive at this Fall's 70 Series Meet & Greet.
