Is this the coolest PRADO in the world? Toyota 70 series landcruiser resprayed bundera 4x4 not a 79

- Finally got hold of my old KZJ78 Landcruiser prado. This was my biggest build having completely resprayed the 4x4 as well as swapping the entire front end. I imported it from japan and have done all of the work myself. I think this is by far the coolest prado in the entire world, and would place it above alot of landcruisers too! the best 70 series made!

It’s sooo coool. Huge thumbs up from Japan!
most neat and beautiful LC 70 series I've seen
Thankyou very much mate I appreciate it!
Beautiful build! 💪 Really inspiring. 🤙
Thanks mate!
Very nice!
I know a guy here in Germany who has two 5-door prados and changed both to the bundy front as well. He just likes the boxy shape better.
That’s awesome mate, I’d love to see them! I think the boxy front end suits the rest of the body better
Unfortunenately i have not taken any photos and he isn't that into that social media thing. But there is a land cruiser / off roader meet at the toyota germany area near cologne this saturday - with a bit of luck he shows up with one of his builds (he also did a double cab 79 pick up V8 diesel with the 1980s narrow front end).
Very cool! Would be tricky to make the 79 work, if he’s happy to share and you see him
At the meet I’d love to see them. Haven’t seen another one
awesome truck mate!!
Thanks mate, it’s a beauty
I own a 92 Toyota Landcruiser LJ 78 and want to convert over to a 1KTE. Great job on the front end and all vehicle!!
Nice! The 1kz is a big upgrade from the 2LT. Thankyou! I am very proud of this car 😊
You have a nice wagon there mate, i owned a SX about 17 years ago, thinking about buying another 👍
Thanks mate! They’re cracking cars. I’m considering bringing in a short wheelbase kzj71 for the other half to mess around in.
Such a sick prado! I just got my 93 kzj78 a few months back and only the intercooler to do, I'm deciding to swap the front eith either a bundera or the VDJ front, which ever one is the less headache
Hey man thanks for the kind words! In my research I found the bundera was way less work. The vdj front needs you to weld up some steel section to lengthen the chassis at the front and widen it out a little. The bundera front is straight bolt on, not a single weld or cut required.
If I had my time again with the Intercooler id probably go front mount. Top mounts aren’t all that efficient and the top mount was an extremely tight fit
@ONSTREET GARAGE hmm that's interesting, I'll really consider the bundera then, yours look so good and would be a dope project, I'll definitely start to look up the front mount, I agree seems like the more efficient method
Awesome man, good luck! Do you have somewhere I can follow your build? Would love to watch someone else build one
@@onstreetgarage unfortunately I'm not much on social media and I don't have an outlet, maybe in the future I'll shoot a video and send it to you
@@christianryu2687 that’d be awesome man, good luck with the build!
Such a great video and a really nice rig. The video is really twisting my arm into getting one haha. Was it fairly reliable during your ownership?
Thanks man, yeah it was great, only issue I had was the gearbox got a bit hot on a long trip fully loaded but got a trans cooler on and it was all good. Hard to fault it
I have one, I’m fixing it..amazing car
They are cars worth saving, I think they’re awesome little 4x4’s. Good luck with the build!
Looking great! Was wondering where I can get that mesh style grille online... any ideas? Im in Botswana
Hey mate I’m not sure where you’d find it, I bought mine off Facebook marketplace second hand. I haven’t seen any online as they were a very rare model. It’s a bundera grill
Looks like the 2024 one now!
Where do you think they got their inspiration from 😂
76' adapted that body and owned it. Pitty..but great mods❤.
I agree, took a good thing and made it worse in my opinion
Great car and video. I recently bought a 1993 kzj78. Just trying to make it a great road trip car. Upgraded the suspension and tyres, just locating and fixing the various rattles and wind noise etc. at the moment. Are there any other mods you would suggest for comfort on longer road trips?
Hey mate thanks! Awesome you got one they’re great cars. In hindsight as I wasn’t doing any hard off-roading I would’ve put some upgraded swaybars in. It’s also worth swapping out the bushes under the car with genuine rubber as that makes them handle a lot better too if they’re worn
@onstreetgarage great advice, thanks. You don't recommend polyurethane bushes then? Better to go genuine rubber ones?
I have had poly bushes in my 4x4’s before and am not a fan of them. They don’t ride as nice and tend to wear out quicker also. I suppose it comes down to personal preference I like the way genuine ride though 👍🏼
Brilliant ! im planning to buy one myself.. however I have one question 'does this car use the same front and rear axle as the 76 series or 80 series ? because incase i need spares then i may find it difficult to source ..we do have plenty of 76 series here though. just wanted to know ?
Hey great question! I know these share the same front 8” high pinion diffs as the 80 series but the rear diff is different. From memory the rear diff was closer to a hilux/surf
@@onstreetgarage Aha thanx for the input ! in that case i guess the front diff is the same as the 60 or 76/79 series because i saw Shaun from 4WD 24/7 youtube channel remove one from an 80 series and fitted it to his 76 or 60 series land cruiser. Was thinking of removing the 1KZ engine and swaping ina 1GD or 2GD engine which is newer to the 1KZ and 1KD... what do you think ? how is your milleage by the way with the 1KZ Auto ?
I think that engine swap would fix my least favourite part about the car. The 1kz in stock form was a bit of a slug with the auto.
I’d be interested to see how one went with the boost turned up and a couple of supporting mods but a GD engine swap would be a better fix long term I reckon. That would be a very unique rig with that swap 👍🏼
Awesome truck. I have a 95 KZJ78. I noticed you said the intercooler bolted right up. I have an intercooler from a Hilux Surf (looks identical to yours) that I planned to put on mine, but it looks like the angle of the cold side of the intercooler is not the same as the barb off of the throttle body. Did you have to get the throttle body/ intake off the engine that donated the intercooler?
Hey thanks mate. I bought my intercooler off a kzj91 prado. From memory I bought the intake manifold with the intercooler and swapped it at the same time 👍🏼
@@onstreetgarage Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that the intake manifold was different between the intercooled and non-intercooled engines because the angle of the throttle body appears to be different, and your response confirms that. Anyways, I've gotta say it again, that's an awesome truck.
excellent truck. where can i get that roof rack please ? everything you see these days are half the size of the roof. this looks awesome.
Thanks mate, the rack is “front runner”
@@onstreetgarage Thank you. do you mind sharing link to it? is that "front Runner" in North America ? i was not able to find anything for this car on their site.

What snorkel is that?
It’s from a guy in qld BR CUSTOMS I found him on Instagram. It was to suit a 75 series but it fit up pretty nice
Is the bundera RJ70 the same as the New Zealand FJ70 guards look slightly wider in the fj70 I’m hoping it will fit as I’d love to do this on mine in New Zealand but I know we don’t have the bundera here . Do you know the equivalent to the bundera ?
The fj70 is slightly longer in the front end. I’ve seen people do the swap and the sides all bolted up but they had to extend the front mounting points to suit. It can definitely be done just a bit more work. Personally I prefer the look of the FJ70 after doing my swap. It’d look like a HZJ77 😍
@@onstreetgarage do you have any idea what the bundera model is in New Zealand ?
@dylanstanley1198 I’m not sure sorry mate. The main way to tell them apart is the bundera indicators are integrated into the grill no off to the side. I’m guessing they’d have either RJ70 or LJ70
Can you link the hood bonnet scoop😊
Yes sir

Hey mate looks sick! been looking into these, how much was she in Japan? and how difficult was the process of importing it cheers!
Hey mate cheers! I found the import process very easy, being over 25 years old makes it very easy in Aus. I don’t remember exactly what I paid but it was around $15k at auction
@@onstreetgarage Oh righto interesting, is there any online Japanese sales or auction websites you used or would recommend when buying one over there?
@@bobhenry9532 I went through an importer that had access to the USS auctions. I just told them what I was after and my budget and they sent me cars they thought would be in my budget to bid on each week
@@onstreetgarage do you recommend any importers that can assist with the USS importing?
@@bobhenry9532 I used a company called nippon2u and found them good. I have bought in a few cars through them now. Mention me if you decide to go with them.
I have heard good things about import monky too.
Where did you source the front end
Scoured marketplace for about 2 months, also joined bundera FB pages and got a few bits that way
Sick build
What's the price and where can I get one in US
I sold this to a friend of mine. You are able to import them from Japan into the US. I would recommend you speak to nippon2u on Facebook as they helped me import mine and were very helpful
how tall or you? would you recommend this for 6'3"?
Hey mate I’m 6’2 and 110kgs and there was plenty of space. Not super spacious but didnt feel cramped
@@onstreetgarage thanks
No worries! Good luck on your search. I lived in Canada for a bit and never saw a prado 70 there. Would be a rare beast
Eventually I’ll get there. I’m new to looking at this stuff. But I’m sold on the LC. I would like 4.5 MT 2009 76

One of the most uncanny Cruisers out there, if you either own a 76 or if you never got the 70 Prado in your territory.
Pun intended, but the custom front looks cheeky.
The rear windows look a bit different/ more old school than the 76.
The way it moved when you got in is so weird to see, leaf springs can only dream of doing that.
The exhaust note sounds great.
Thanks mate, the goal was to create something unique and what I thought was mostly the best bits of the old school 70 look with the newer coil all round setup.
Did you import it through anyone ?
Hey mate yes I used NIPPON2u
Audio sounds like it's recording from the camera not your mic
Yep, I figured it out at the end of the day 😢. Lesson learned for next time
Can I buy it
I sold this one to a friend.
