Toyota Land Cruiser 1978 Parts & Accessories

Set Up Your 40 Series for Outback Touring

The 40 series is one of the all-time great touring platforms - solid axles, leaf springs that take a lift cleanly, and a chassis that handles more abuse than most modern 4WDs. The aftermarket recognises that, and there's no shortage of gear designed specifically for the platform.

Our 4WD and touring catalogue covers heavy-duty shocks for sustained corrugated work, recovery points sized for the 40 series chassis, 2-inch and 3-inch lift kits, snorkel-style intakes for dust protection, and the touring accessories that take a 1978 Cruiser further than it went new.

Service the 2F Petrol or Diesel Six Engine

The 1978 engine lineup gave Australian buyers a choice - the 4.2-litre 2F petrol, the 3.0-litre B diesel four, and in selected markets the 3.6-litre H diesel six. All three are simple, repairable engines that respond well to proper servicing. The 2F especially has a reputation for outlasting almost everything bolted to it.

Our engine components range covers head gaskets, full gasket sets, water pumps, oil pumps and seals for the 2F, B and H engines. Add in our service essentials catalogue for filters, glow plugs, drive belts and oils to suit.

Replace Cooling System Components Across the Range

Cooling system parts on a 1978 Cruiser are well past their best - even second or third generation replacements. Brass radiators corrode internally, hoses soften, and thermostats stick. The 2F is tough but doesn't tolerate overheating, and the diesel engines are even less forgiving.

Our cooling and heating range stocks replacement radiators (worth upsizing for hot-climate use), top and bottom hoses, thermostats, water pumps and heater cores. Refresh the lot, and you've removed a major failure point.

Renew Brake Hardware Front and Rear

By 1978, every market had FJ40s and FJ55s with front disc brakes. After 47 years, the discs themselves are usually fine, but the callipers, hoses, pads and rear drum hardware all need replacement. Master cylinders and wheel cylinders are common rebuild items, too.

Our brakes and brake parts catalogue stocks pads and rotors for front disc fitments, shoes and drums for the rear, hoses, callipers, wheel cylinders and master cylinders. Hardware kits cover the smaller bits that always get lost in a rebuild.

Refresh Suspension and Steering for Modern Use

Leaf-sprung 4WDs of this era ride hard from the factory and harder when the springs flatten. Even owners doing restoration-only work usually want fresh leaves, shocks and bushes to make the truck drivable rather than just presentable.

Our steering and suspension range covers leaf packs in standard and heavy-duty specs, shocks for stock-height and lifted builds, polyurethane and rubber bushes, U-bolts, shackles, and steering box rebuild parts.
