This is the best resource for info on the 70 series. Seriously amazing, I'm incredibly grateful I found this as I'm looking at imports of the 70 here in the US.
Same!!!
Just got myself a 1995 KZJ71 (love it) and this video is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
Great Job on this video. I am a 70 series fan from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, where the cruiser is King.
Ride around in the 78 series in Bougainville island in Papua New Guinea. During the civil war there was a blockade and fuel wasn’t being shipping to the island anymore. The refined coconut milk and ran their diesel trucks off of them. A troop carrier is my dream car but in the USA, I need a 25 year old vehicle or older lol thank you for the great video
Glad you enjoy it
Amazing video thank you !
supercool vid dude, thanks :)
Great video bro, being grateful to have 1st edition of 1984 LJ71 series and 1992 HZJ75 troop carrier. The 2L engine later used by 1997 Toyota Kijang diesel and old model of Hiace in Indonesia.
Great video once again Tai. Just ordered myself a modelista. Thanks!
Thanks for the continuous support man😍 You Da BEST
Thanks mate was a good watch. Love my landcruiser 79
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
great video, have never seen this much information on the 70 series put together in one place. Well done, that is a lot of work. One point to add: the track/width of the 70 series 'Pado/light weight 70 series (the LJ, KZJ, etc.) are very nearly the same (the Prado is not substantially narrower, despite different drivelines): The Prado kj70 series (3.0L) is 1415mm for front track and 1400mm rear track, whereas the heavy duty hd70 series (4.2L) is 1425mm and 1420mm, respectively. I am sure there must be some variation over the years and over global markets, but on the whole the Prado was not a narrower vehicle. The bigger difference (30mm) in the rear track might have do to with the bigger rear differential (9.5 v 8, I think?) and maybe a full floating rear axle in the heavy duty series.....
Glad you enjoy the video 😁 you're right I didn't touch in the axles yet on this one. Something down the line perhaps
Also your probably right about the track width. Might have jumbled up with the VDJ70's
Track width might be the same but axles are definetely narrower on the Prado. PRADOS use negative offset wheels that is why the track is nearly identical with HDs. HDs use 00 offset Prados use -20
@@Arda86ca thanks for that info! Yup, you are right, even when I think/picture in my head the HD 70 series 16 inch split rims, I can see that they are not the same negative offset of the 15 inch prado rims....
Very informative video. Excellent effort. Malaysian here too, based in PJ. Just got myself a LJ 70 from Sarawak. It's a KJZ71cabin and 1KZ engine (1993(?))mounted on a LJ70 chassis( 1984). Was trying to trace the history of my LJ70 and I stumbled into your video. Thank you. BTW, are there any mechanics/workshops in PJ/KL that can handle Land Cruisers well? Am weary of "bush mechanics" claiming to be Land Cruisers experts. 😄😄
Man you are a great reference. Thanks bro. Amazing job from a young passionate guy. Very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TAI-lr5vr Very much my dear. Thanks.
nice video, 👍👍👍👍greating from Slovakia 🙂🙂
Would like to see a 40 series history and review on the channel. Love the videos
I plan on doing it with a pretty special 40 series. Stay tuned
Awesome video. I still can’t remember all the different versions lol
Hey there glad you enjoyed it. Tbh if we were to boil it to every single chassis code and regional option I too would have trouble keeping up 😂
I am from Malaysia too. Been looking for a nice one for a long time but no luck yet. Perhaps we can have a chat… Awesome video
Hey there you can message me on Instagram my username is @tai392
I had been wanting to make a video like this as we have almost all the models in our club. Kudos to you for crumpling all the info into 1 video. There might be a little errors here and there but mostly very spot on info.
Thanks for watching😍 say which part of the world are you from?
I think I missed the LJ73 highroof version they got in Europe as well as the VHR588 powered ones 😆
@@TAI-lr5vr you already know me hehe
@@Arda86ca Oi Mate! 😆 Didn't recognize ya for a brief second 😂
@@TAI-lr5vr small world eh lol
Excellent video! What would you consider a good buy for a non rusted good running 1993 bj77 w 370k kms?
Тяжёлая семидесятка мой любимый автомобиль, автомобиль моя мечта!!!
Wow…. Cool
My dream car since i was 6 years old.. hopefully i can get one soon😂
id like to kow if the hzj has mounting points for the third row seats i have a vdj76 and is tge same body still in 2024
We need a video on 1fz and 1 gr fe
Hey, thanks for a great video, much appreciated. I wanted to know if there's any way I could tell the difference between a 1999 and 2005 heavy duty model. They both had coil springs is there anything specific that they introduced in 2004-2005?
1999 have carburators - the pillars are thin and you can also tell from the waistline, each year has its specific shape of line. 2005 are injectors and have thick pillars
Thanks for the informative video. I myself is also from Malaysia and after watching your video, I think I'm set on getting a KZJ71 as a daily driver. However I tried searching on used car website and mudah, nothing seems to come up. Can you give me some directions and tips on where to find these cars? Is there anyway to contact you to have a chat about it? Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the rather extensive video 😆 you can message me on Instagram my IG handle is @tai392
Tips: cross your arms and pray everyday that someone decides to part with their 71
1 H Z ❤❤
You're slightly off about the 1999 model ones with coil suspension, they arnt so much based off the 80 series, but more like the 105 series, they have 5 stud wheels and different axles, pinions and splines, although the 80 housing is almost identical to the 105
Technically we're both wrong on this. The track width of a 105 is a wee bit wider than the 70 series 5 stud axle. By only a couple of millimeters if I'm honest as based on some 79's which have had the 105 axles swapped they are wider in width
@@TAI-lr5vr that's very true!
That's a lot of information in onr video and I'm only at the 10 minute mark.
I always found the numbering system very confusing and when to call a 70 series a prado or land cruiser II.
11:36 Dual cab was also, and still is, sold in South Africa. As well as other countries in Africa.
Yep. But I remember 4xoverland mentioned South Africa had the prefacelift 70 dual cab that was converted by a local company
Why didn't you mention 72 series ? Is there any 72 ?
Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series 🇯🇵❤️💪👍👆🎥👍👆
I'm thinking to buy a KZJ78, is this car easy to repair and get the spare parts? I'm based in malaysia.. and one thing is it normal that the balancing and alignment of this 70 series just doesn't go right? When I test drive it, the steering appears to be very sensitive and on the wobbly side.. not to mention it already has off road suspension installed and raised higher.
Hey there, parts for these are sort of a mixed bag for Malaysia. The electronic hub switch is abit expensive to replace if broken (that's why most convert them to run a mechanical free lock) engine wise it's okay but don't push them too hard as 1KZ have head issues when they are not taken care of.
I can't say for sure the steering situation. Best take it up with a mechanic who's knowledgeable about these vehicles.
When was the end of the 73 & 74 models?
In Japan market it ended in 2006 but sometimes still See build plates up to August 2007
I have a VDJ76R...what does the "R' stand for?
R stands for right hand drive
What's the title of that catalogue at 1:48?
Hi there, this book is called the Land Cruiser Custom Book 😁
Tai the sound of your manok is so loud .
By the way tq for the infos
This is a RKR
Rj70 for 6000$ or fzj73 for 8500$?
