I would be very careful of the LJ 78. I believe the LJ78 is what is known as a Prado or LandCrusierII. They are a less rugged version of the 70 series. The HZJ 77 is a 5 door version of the true 70 series. I have also read reports that the 2.5 litre diesel has problems with overheating in the head. (There is one for sale where I live right now where the guy just finished all the top end work only to have the bottom end go). I am no Toyota expert but during my recent search for my HJ61 I came across alot of Prados. I would do some more asking around; perhaps on IH8mud.com.
Cheers and good luck,
Jason
