FZJ80 rear axle upgrade (1 Viewer)

[goldchaser]

Nice job,might as well grab a 80 front as well and the brackets,steer box etc and dump them leaves up front......
Just a thought )))

^ 8" front diff though

^ 8" front diff though

not an issue till you get to 35s...for the average cruiser, be just fine...

I second this !!!
Im surprised more people dont go this route....
The E-brake cable on the 80's axle is just a bit longer, but it is a direct bolt in to the 60 series.

X2. best upgrade on my pig...I even narrowed it 3.125" to keep track, SUA, disks, ebrake, locker, all at once. If I could do it again, I would not have narrowed it...and I would have left the coil buckets alone...HTH

Not even an issue with 35's.

Nice work as usual TOR.

Just to clarify, It's actually an intercooled 1HD-T running 20psi of boost

The rear axle gives a 2" increase in track width per side

After I posted, I thought it might also be a 1HDT. Those 1H engines all look alike.

2", cool. Thanks.

That's an awesome upgrade.

Tor .. would you care expand more about what you did for the front brakes...?

that would be a nice upgrade in my case to stop Tencha 40"

and on a separate note .. I would like to do this .. but I would do along with rear 4link for sure..

For those who have done the rear 80 swap with e brake,does the e brake function as good as the drum e brake? Am considering to go this way,thanks.

My experience was that it was better than the previous.

The 80 series rear e-brake is drum, and works great. The rear rotor is a drum and disc in one unit.

Good to know,thanks. Tor,you got a spare laying around?...I think I need to call you.

I might have one on a parts truck, Gil

You gotta do a write up about this .. !!! ( plenty pics please for us with limited fab / wrench skills .. )

You also need the caliper brackets:

The rest of Baxter's thread is worth drooling over too.

it may be defined somewhere and asked a 1000 times but here goes. Are there any common parts between a rear axle assembly from a 86 FJ60 us market FJ60 and a 96-97 US Market Full Float FJ80 rear axle assembly. Ring Gear, third..etc? Just wondering if I were to swap as this thread supports....do I have to start from zero with building the FJ80 axle. Yes I'm running 4.88 in the 60 at present and it has a powertrax no slip locker....just wondering where I might could save a little $$ if I were to execute this swap, or I might be just better served to totally just build the 80 housing all the way from zero...and I would probably go with an ARB locker in the rear too... comments?
