Hi all.
Ok,since I cant find an 80 available over here,my other option is a Prado 95 (lwb) 1996-98 for example.
Im also considering of doing a solid axle swap on the front end to get rid of the IFS.
I have a pair of FJ62 axles in my warehouse.
Your help is needed here.
Questions :
1-Is the...
ok,first of all,thank you again for your help.I called the dealer today.
New info is that the truck was imported from Canada,and has the following :
VIN No : JT3FJ80W2M0009965
Engine No : 3F0281165
What can you tell from the above ?
I would search it myself but again I m not familiar with...
I ll check the manufacturing date,engine type or maybe get a VIN number and I ll be back.I cant acrually see the truck cause its far away from where I live,but I can ask.
Thanks for the replies till now.
Hi from Greece.
I need a family truck for off -roading and long trips.After examining some Land Rovers I didnt feel so "secure" about buying one due to poor reliability issues.So now ,I' m seriously thinking of buying an LC 80 .
There are too many series 90 here but very few 80s.
I found one,it...
ok,but do you know or give me a hint about where should I search,to find what is the caster angle for a stock SPUA FJ60/62 ?
I think that would help.Or its not so significant ?
I m not feeling so confident about what I should do ,because as I said I was told that I MUST maintain the factory...
Its a 2door Sidekick.I m also have the FJ62 driveshafts.One (the short one) was DC and Im using that on the rear.I have double t-cases (Sidekick and Samurai behind it using OTT kicker 3 adaptor),so the front t-case output goes more to the rear than stock,so I might be able to get away with the...
ok,thanks.
I did that to my current set up,hybrid front axle.I have 6 deg caster tilted back.What confused me is that I was told that I should not mess with caster with this FJ62 axle,and maintain the factory caster.But I have just the axles and dont know at which angle the front axle is...
ok,I need your help please.
I read some of the build ups ,spoa FJ60/62 axles.
Very helpful,but I m feeling a bit confused with the following:
From what aome friends told me and from what I ve read,when doing the SPOA ,I must maintain the factory caster angle on the front axle.
Furthermore,If I...
good.yes I m going to put those axles under a 1.6 16v Sidekick.
Small motor but the low ratio will be something around 6,5:1.
But yes,its a lightweight vehicle.

never thought about Aussie locker.They are almost unknown here.
Most known are ARB,Detroits,Lockrights,EZ lockers.
I saw that many of you use Aussie lockers.
I check the aussie and its like a lockright.I dont know if its operates smoother but I had lockrights in the past,very good,very...
For 4,88's no grinding is mentioned,only for the 5,29s.
As for the 5,29 ,the tech dpt sent me a photo where it shows that the grinding is done on 3 of the ring gear teeth ,where only in one tooth seems to be done some serious grinding.
If you want I have the photo.
But I dont like the idea of...
I searched a little more and I found a company that makes a conversion kit to convert a semi-floating axle to a full floating one.
here is the link

Guys , I m a little worried for the rear semi floating axle.
Will it be ok for use with 33"S or 35"s,low ratio...
well,5,29's will need some grinding on the ring gear teeth for the rear diff.4,88's wont need grinding and since I run double t-cases,the 4,88's will be ok .I plan on running 34"s and my current high ratio is 1:1,57.With the 1.6L motor ,I think the set up is ok.
I have some difficulties about...
