I have a 1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser with OEM running boards. I'd like to install a set of step style sliders from BOR.
The BOR sliders are designed for the later style 1995 - 1997 Land Cruisers. Mike said that the side-by-side catalytic converters on the 1993-1994 models prevent the BOR step-sliders from fitting.
The 1993 - 1994 exhaust has the Y-pipe after the cats and the cats are "side-by-side".
The 1995 - 1997 exhaust has the Y-pipe before the cats and the cats are "in-line".
My question is, can I install a 1995 - 1997 OEM exhaust on my 1993? Are the exhaust manifolds themselves different? Or can I install from the Y-pipe to the muffler? Does anyone offer an aftermarket stainless steel exhaust that would solve the problem? Would it be less expensive to just fabricate a custom exhaust?
Also, are the frames identical from 1993 to 1997? Even if I get the exhaust/cats solved, will I be able to mount the sliders on a 1993 frame? Or are the frames different from 1993 to 1997?
Thanks in advance!
