I took out the switch on the rear locker and found it dirty, cleaned it and put it back. I will share the results when I test. For the center diff lock, I unplugged the wire but I was not able to remove the switch however, stupid me, I cut one of the wires when I was trying to plug the wire...

Update and some issues I'm facing: The swap is now completed, and here is what you need to know to make this swap: After swapping the diffs and lockers ECU, make sure to take the wiring from the donor car. You need two sets of wiring: One from the diff to the engine bay that plugs to a...

I will definitely leave it manual. I just want to swap the ABS system out into my LC. What do you mean LSPV? Idk what that is

Thank you jpoole for the valuable comment I actually thought though that the US 80's all came with an automatic transmission, but you never know as this car was sold everywhere. My thinking is that I will try with ABS on and if I don't like it then I can remove it since I will keep prrty much...

Any more info on what I'm about to do guys?

Thanks for the info.. The post you shared has much more than I need since he has an auto. trans. my hope is that I can bolt the 1hd-t right in place of the 1fz-f but I read somewhere that is bolts to the chase which doesn't sound right to me. I'm trying to make it a simple as possible since both...
