76 series land cruiser locker (1 Viewer)

[vadimb]

Hi guys, I was wondering what options are available for the following land cruiser in terms of auto lockers, like lockrite or detroit locker, I am in the U.S. but do not know much about 70 series cruisers.
Most sites I visited only specify the fj40-60-80 applications.
how do you relate 70 series to those? are the axles the same as 76 series?

Cruiser on hand:
model:KG-HZJ76K-RKMES
Engine :1HZ
Frame:HZJ76-0003298
trans/axle R151F K284

from looking at the following site it has a 9.5", 4:30 4 pinion differential.

Toyota Differential Identification - Toyota at Off-Road.com

also are the lockers the sam for front and rear axle?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Vadim

What year is yours and what country was it intitially sold in?
The7* series have had a few changes to diffs since 1984.

Most any Land Cruiser locker will fit, but you will have to provide some details. In any case, don't worry - you have lots of choices.

Interesting see that you have the R151 instead of the usually ( as far for us ) H150 that come with the 1HZ engine ..

Post a pic but I thought you have the front reverse cut 8" HP 3rd member and the rear 9.5" so lock right, EX locker, Detroit, No Slip, ARB for rear ..

For front I only recomend a selectable locker .. that in your case ould be ARB of the factory $$$$ one .. ( electric or cable with proper long splined axles to suit it )

Oz had the R151 from 98 on behind the 1HZ. Lots of problems

I think the R151 main shaft is in 3 pieces that want to separate and the bearings dont last long.
A gearbox shop told me they just wear out everywhere,shift forks also
It was originally a Supra gearbox.
Most of my friends wih 105s or 79s rebuilt the gearbox before 150000klms.
If it is a one owner and driven very gently to church each week,then it maybe ok
The H55f,H150 and H151 are ok

They also had the 8" front diff which was based on a Hilux design and that was another problem.

Why didn't make a swap .. for a used H151 . ?
