Yeah thats right Thats what the older prado that we didnt get looked like but they are longer than a bundera.Might be called a LC 77. I f you do a search for japanese landcruiser sites and you will find heaps of them

My import is a LJ71G, which in Japan was a SWB Prado. Ive seen a few of the longer wheel base ones getting around perth.

I'm talking about the shape that has just gone, & it had round headlights... would look ok decked out and without the IFS

I could be wrong but im sure they are still IFS ( A Arm ) front end but with coil springs rather than the torsion rod/bar
