Finally got an answer!when i was at autozone picking up a timing gear gasket, they asked me if the landcruiser was a 4wd or 2wd model?? i highly doubt it but is there a 2wd fj40?? i know that the thinking about making the FJC in a 2wd model...
Finally got an answer!
I guess history lessons are nice to keep passing on so here's how it went when I worked on one of these...see here for full time 4wd fj40:
Have you ever seen a 76 FJ40 with full time 4WD?

To rehash this. yes there were full time versions but they were never sold to the public. They ended up being
"donated" to public organizations like the high school that Blair got his from. It was a '78 , as I recall , with 8000ish miles on the odometer.
He bought it in the late 90's.
In the late 70s Toyota teamed up with Borg Warner to design a drive system and t-case like the Quadratrac that was the current rage.
It was a full time 4WD with a "lock" position. The first time I saw it I thought it was just a Jeep Quadratrac placed by a very talented conversion shop but the BW ID plate had a different number than anything in the books. The orginal Q-tracs were 1305 and 1339. This was a 1300 series
but I don't recall the last two numbers for sure. It might have been a 1306 or 08, but the numbers were close to those for the Q-trac.
The more time I spent under the truck the more I realized it wasn't a conversion. There were too many dedicated parts with Toyota stamps.
That's when we did the research and found the history.
Eventually, some of these ended up in public hands when the organizations that had them sold them at auctions or sent them to scrap yards.
Blair's spent it's life moving sports equipment on and off a high school football field.
It was a '78 , as I recall , with 8000ish miles on the odometer.
Believe it was early 76 and has around 4,500 miles not 8,000.
JTO has another one a couple months younger.
