yup import indeed.

Somewhere in the Himalayas.

I think I shall get into this as soon as I can spare some time. Thank you for the tip. I might bug you around the time when I actually get around to doing it. :)

I have heard and read about this as well. I guess that is next. Still trying to see how to go about it. Apparently there is something out there which let's you keep the stock pipes and add additional 3 inch one. Thanks for the tip. Will it become really noisy after a 3 inch exhaust.

Hi Guys, I thought I would update you guys on a recent upgrade on my kzj78. I used to always feel that the EGT’s were high . The70 is not the most aerodynamic box out there either and since I travel in the mountains a lot with a good load, I always felt I needed a lil bit more out of the 1kz...

welcome aboard! Do post pics of the LC

Having some fun with my LC ..Light off roading and water crossing. :) Hope you guys enjoy it!

I understand, I think you just need to try different ecu's . However it could also be something as simple as the AT transmission setting. I notice you are in Pakistan just as me , Private message me your cell no and Maybe we can talk and sort this out. I think we have a mutual friend Hanif...

It sounds like an ecu issue. Which 1KZ te did you get cause this engine comes in surf , prado and Hiace as well. The 1kz te , transmission is controlled via its ecu. ?

lol. You are right , I dont know if UK got 5 door kzj78's officially through toyota or not, what i do know is that Mine was imported from the UK . How it got to the UK is a story I do not know. Maybe someone imported this from Japan to the UK and then it got Imported to Pakistan. This...

Hi, As far as i know ( i could be wrong) different markets have recieved different options through the years. The basics are always the same however there are differences in the emission control ratings ( EGR) and some tweaks , what i know is that the models of LC 78 which were directly...

welcome aboard . Nice ride there. I like your plans about finding lost civilizations 0. happens to be one of my interests as well. Good luck with your mods. :)

Congrats. :)

Check for bubbles in the radiator Check if there is any engine blow back. Check if there is any oil seepage around the turbo join Check if The engine is hunting at Idle Take it for a test drive and see if the transmission is changing gears on the correct ratios . See if the OD works and the...

Did the light in the instrument Panel Flash or get to solid state. How did he determine that they were not locking. The rear diffs in this model are engaged via electric motor. So It is not a major issue but it would be nice if the owner can get them checked for you . Sometimes the light is...

Hi, Marty. Thats a neat looking ride. I have the same as you are planning to buy. What I can tell you is that it is reliable as long as you are changing your fuids on time. Its preety Hardy and will go anywhere. Does this one have rear Diff locks and a sunroof etc. Its a smart buy . 12k...

In My opinion, It does not matter how good a condition is advertised in. The fact is these are all old vehicles, Anyone buying one should be prepared to spend some extra money and time and love for the vehicle to come to your expectations or whatever one feels is a comfortable ride for them...

Thanks for the tip ben. I will add that to the wish list. Plus rear crystal lights too. But i need rock sliders then a winch first. :)

Finally Got the ARB styled Bumper and halo/led lamps installed.

HI, Wanted to share my newest addition to the LC. Got the ARB styled Bumper and halo/led lamps installed.

Welcome. That sounds like a good buy. Do post pics. Land cruisers are the best. :) .

Hi, I own the same vehicle as you. The light usually blinks when the diffs are being engaged and once they lock the light should turn solid. Basically the blinking light indicates the transition from unlocked to lock . First off I suggest you check your rear diffs by simply jacking up your...

The top speed i ever got from my kzj 78. That is with the 1kz 3.0 td non intercooled was a 135kph . I felt i could go 140kph but i didnt. The 78series is not very aero dynamic ... its a box ...lol. but generally i cruise at 110kph and thats good enough for me . :)

I cant stand noisy and untidy interiors . Fussy that way . The ride has to be as quiet as possible :p Yea I do my best to keep it clean , since I drive long distances in it . I am sure yours would look just as good if not better by the time you are done. btw whenever you come to the point of...
