Hi, does anyone have a good source for repair panels for an LJ78? Ideally in Europe but as these weren’t sold here I’m finding panels difficult, alternatively KZJ78 or VDJ/GRJ 76 would probably work.

So last summer my wife was using my LJ78 as a run around while we found her a new car (in the end we stupidly got her a Discovery 4 but that is a whole story on its own!) anyway she was driving and didn’t notice the temperature gauge go through the roof, meaning the 2LT was toast… Why Toyota...

Has any got a good source for replacement door mirrors? My passenger side unit is beyond repair, I tried all the breakers on eBay but no one has one so I bought an after marker manual mirror but the quantity is awful! Happy to go with a set of LJ70 mirrors if I can find a pair at a reasonable...

Not the usual.... has ever done or seen a lj78 with the early LJ70 front end? I’m a fan of the square front end of the HD 70 series but they are difficult to find parts in the UK and are not a straight fit. I also play hard in my LJ78 so Panel replacement is always a consideration. love my...

hi all, thinking of doing an engine conversion in my Lj78 but would like to keep the automatic gearbox. Iv seen loads of 1uz conversions but I want to stay Diesel. My main concern is control of the auto, as it is electronic, is there a stand-alone system that works with the Aisin-Warner...

Hi all, does anyone know if Toyota or Aisin made a fully hydraulic version of the A343f gearbox fitted to the LJ78? By fully hydraulic I mean non-electronic. Been thinking about doing an engine swap but not sure how that would work with my gearbox as I would like to keep the automatic. Thanks Ash

I'm after an lj78 auto transfer case for my project, anything considered.

My lj70 have solid discs on the front, just wondered if anyone had upgraded their front brakes? I was thinking maybe vented discs and calipers from a hilux surf would fit? Has anybody got any experience with this? Before I buy some bits to find they don't fit.... thanks ash
