++what Bearman said.
There are two earth straps that can corrode where they join the chassis and the battery.
One joins the battery -ve to the chassis, the other joins the chassis to the engine, near the starter motor.
Just make sure your fuel supply is clean and the filter filled and replaced and give it a go.
As Brian said I would bet the 4bd1 fires up fairly easiiy.
Mine (in my Perentie) fired up on the diesel i squirted into the cylinders to check the engine was free before I connected the fuel.
Gave me a hell of a fright !!
Good luck !!
