Toyota Stalking, er...um, SPOTTING with Charlie™ (Land Cruiser and Lexus LX/GX Edition)!

Issue is that any model that has abs will have full floaters and discs. So even non-locked ones will sometimes still have discs. But all locked ones have discs as well.

 

Could you get the triple-locked diffs without ABS or no?

 

No, I don't believe you could. And to answer your previous question, it's as easy as swapping the whole axle.

 

Saw this sweet Land Cruiser the other day:

 

That looks like something the Israeli Defense Force would drive!

 

Same rig; It's a 1978!

It was military R&D testing at Moab. All kinds of Land Cruisers and Hiluxs.

 

I want it!

 

Me too!

1997 Land Cruiser; This thing has had six owners, and probably 300K miles, and it shows! I took a closer look and was able to determine that while it did have 4-wheel disc brakes (which I believe were standard by 1997), it does NOT have the triple-locking diffs...

This is about the worst example of an FJZ80 that I've ever seen; I ran a full Carfax on it, and as stated above it is on its sixth owner. I'm also estimating that it has about 300K miles (Last reported odometer reading was 260,514 in January 2017). That in itself is hardly a big deal because these things were designed to go to the end of the earth, but it was also involved in two accidents in less than year under the ownership of the current owner, the damage from which can still be seen! This Cruiser has been in Northern New Jersey its whole life, and this also shows (look at the rust), and according to Carfax it was involved in an accident with front end damage in March 2001 and had to be towed as a result; It still has a clear title, so it's obvious that either the insurance company deemed it worth fixing or the original owner repaired it out of pocket. It really saddens me to see one in this condition...

 

They look like the ones on yours, though maybe a little bigger...?

 

Yeah that things tapped out body wise. Good frame swap candidate for a 100 series to make a better LC (sorry 100 owners but your suspension was a downgrade). But that's about it. I've got 236k but no major body damage, my PDR guy keeps up on dings and stuff. I still daily the LC, rather drive something I like than a commuter car.

 

Which year is the 100 series?

 

98 to I forget when

 

2003 maybe...? I've got a few of those in here!

 

Yeah, they actually made a good version of them in outer countries, the 105 series has 80 series suspension and 80/100 series engines, and the 100 series body
