I just bought a 1995 Prado from Japan with the 1KZ-TE engine. What is this head change you guys are talking about ? Open to any suggestions for upgrades!
Loved the video. I have a 1994 KZJ78W also brought back from Japan. I am trying to be more hands on with maintenance so I’m looking forward to your videos. Funny enough one of the first things I saw was that tyranitar in the front window. My son has the same one from a Pokémon center in Tokyo!
Love the rig! Definitely look forward to seeing more videos on it! Quick question though. I also just recently came back from Japan and imported my Landcruiser. It just arrived at the port and i’m just waiting to pick it up now. Was it a crazy process to get yours registered and tagged? I know it’ll be a bit different since i’ll be going through florida DMV but any info on what i need to prepare for will help!
What an amazing Rig! I'm from Kenya and for a while I was convinced I'd sell my KZJ78 and buy a proper 76 but after seeing the prices and differences I figured it would be more cost effective to build it on my own. Seeing yours in that great shape is very inspiring. Everything is well thought out and it's not filled with the latest trending gadgets. A few questions.. 1) How are you fairing along with the auto gearbox? do you think its worth it to convert to a manual? 2) How heavy is the front bumper and do you notice a tendency of being "nose" heavy when you hit the bumps? Once again amazing build.. I'll share mine once we are done!
Try building an safety theft proof grill all over Ur vehicles which is fixed and keep one for emergency exit and back open vent try building internal access safety grill which can be opened only from inside
Noticed that you have an Oklahoma tag. Resident of OKC here, would love to connect and learn more about how you acquired your KJZ78, I’m in the market.
Nice set up! Wondering if you can provide more info on the front fender side mirror you installed. I am looking into replacing mine as it is useless due to it's tiny size. Thanks!
I have orders to mainland Japan arrive in 2 weeks, I was thinking a LC100 w/ 4.7 V8. I really want a LC200 but it wont be legal in the USA and Id really want the US version with the 5.7 V8

Great Build Brother. Miss Off-Roading with you. We will meet up again.
You should do a full video on how you do your routine maintenance! Not a lot of videos on the 78 out there
Ive mulled it over
Love those gull wing rear window doors! Great truck.
Great build and such a unicorn in the states
Suuuper nice truck! I have a 1997 TLC Prado also with 1KZTE and also did changed the head on AMC one ... Keep going man 🔥

@@chriszaic9049 we mean the cylinder head, if you overheat it it will crack
@@mampaseleI see. Do you replace it with a stock cylinder head or are there heads available that are less likely to fail?
@@chriszaic9049I ordered a new cylinder head + new gusket + new bolts from my local dealer

Looks amazing! Do you have any skid plates underneath.
Just the factory rock guard for the transmission. A local fabrication shop is gonna make me some
Beautiful rig bro. Got the same rig as yours. Ola from Malaysia

Nice truck! I have 1995 Prado arriving from Japan soon myself. I'd like to connect!
Sounds good! My IG is @adventure_rig

I was stationed in Japan for 6 years. Military paid for the import back to US when I rotated back here
@@Adventure_Rig - Awesome, where in OKLAHOMA are you?
Nice build! Why did you go with a Prado instead of a full-size 70 series Land Cruiser?
@grantde I like the looks of them better, coil springs vs leaf, and the price point
Nice set up! Wondering if you can provide more info on the front fender side mirror you installed. I am looking into replacing mine as it is useless due to it's tiny size. Thanks!
Just ordered one from a vdj76, drill a few holes and install
Awesome! Thanks!
Is there any chance anyone knows the name or has a link to the gauge pillar?

Have you considered an intercooler?
Im currently running water/methol injection. Cools much better than any intercooler. But ive considered a barrel style water to air intercooler set up
@@Adventure_Rig was the water/meth system a decision on cost, or was it driven by modification needed to add intercooler?
I'd love more info on the water/meth system. I've been looking into an intercooler for mine.
Do you reckon you could fit a bit in the back? I’ve been looking at buying one
Im 5'6 so i have no problem

You should check out the 100 Ceres with the 6-cylinder inline diesel
Was it tough installing the manual boost control? This would be a great vid too
@@JoelSiedenburg super easy
@@Adventure_Rig thank you! I've yet to find a how to vid/explainer. Really fun coming across your build. You have a few gems in the engine bay!
