Overview

The KZJ77 is one of the most refined vintage Land Cruisers in the 70-series lineage and extremely difficult to find. We routinely see the KZ77 LHD European models listed for over 30,000 Euros with major rust issues. A chance like this does not come to market often! A coil sprung radius arm suspension was a huge step over leaf springs, and they had a number of unique features added to the interior, such as the “active comfort” suspension seats. They’re also set up for three row comfort for seven to eight people, despite being a little shorter and more compact than the typical long-wheelbase Troopy. And then you stack a turbocharged 3.0L 1KZ-T 3.0L diesel with a five-speed R150F manual behind it, with Toyota’s venerable two-speed VF2A transfercase, and you’ve got a bulletproof platform for a build.

This particular KZJ77 was just awoken from long term storage. We did a review of the systems, changed the oil, fuel filter, drained and flushed the fuel system, and fuel solenoid wiring. The team has been driving this Land Cruiser but we recommend doing a full mechanical review prior to daily driving or any long distance road trips. Contact us for an inspection report and service history. Most issues are cosmetic and maintenance related, which can be addressed at the buyer’s request; or if you’re a gearhead who isn’t afraid of tackling it yourself, we’re offering it as-is.

The body is in overall great shape, appearing to wear its original Medium Red Pearl paint. The grille trim up front needs some love, the roof has minor dents, and there is a minor pinhole from rust by where the rear pop-out windows have rubbed against the body with time, but otherwise the body is straight and rust-free. The interior is a similar story. Carpets, seats, and plastics are all in good condition but may need some attention to address old-truck quirks and wear. Nothing too surprising for anyone getting into a 30-plus-year-old Toyota truck.

Underneath is more of the same, overall good condition with no obvious signs of past accident repair, but the suspension is aged so some maintenance required to drive like-new. This 70 Series runs the 8-inch diffs with 4.556:1 gears and a limited slip, according to its G975 axle code. Also unique to the Euro-spec versions is that the 1KZ-T is non-EGR with a mechanical injection pump, eliminating a potential failure point from an aging ECU or emissions system.
We’ve had requests in the past to offer one of these rare Land Cruisers at the best price possible, and now’s your chance to pick one out of our lot before it undergoes service work at shop-rate.
