Get the LX manual - it is different from the Cruiser manual. You won't see any variations for drivetrain and engine, but the wiring is certainly different, as is the body stuff.

Another LX owner again. three in a row for today... 
Factory manuals are the best available
you can get paper copies from Toyota

I would get at least the repair manual (AKA FSM) in paper form if not also the EWD,
you can get electronic copies also for $10, I would get a copy of everything in electronic format, you will especially like the New car features manual for the 96LX, it is the most complete for any year of 80 series. there are several others also like collision repair, transmission overhaul, training manuals, owners manual, OBDII supliments etc
new way much easier,

welcome
Make that 4 LX450 owners in one day, almost.
I too have a 96 LX450, bone stock, as my daily driver.
My 82 BJ42 is reserved for weekends.
My 76 FJ40 Frankencruiser (complete Chevy drivetrain) is the offroad toy.
Needless to say, I have been bitten by the cruiser bug.
Nice to "meet" y'all,

Hey count me in for a new 96 LX450 as well;
135K
Factory Lockers
Black
Great condition except drivers side seat coming unstitched.
that's 5 today I guess.
I'm also an 81 FJ40 owner but I'll have to admit, this thing can outclimb my 40 by an easy margin.
