The First Knight Of The Iron Pig has spoken.
Mark...
When the Pig speaks, all should listen. @Pighead
Mark W. has been the undisputed First Knight of the Iron Pigs since way back in the LCML days. When he speaks, I shut my yap and listen.
The dude with the 55 wins80s are big and boring. 40s are small and st
disgust is right! 55? sorry, 47 troop FTWLOL, smoking crack I think!
I can never decide if I just roll on the floor laughing at discussions when they take this turn, or if i want to shake my head in disgust.
Anytime someone says that any rig is the best. I stop listening.
Well, other than the fact that the Iron Pig is the best vehicle ever created by man for any and every use that any human could ever imagine.

more room then a 55, modular body, and same everything else. a 55 is a 47 with a body you cant take apart! 
hahah with ya on the "best truck" thing. however, for an individual, there is certainly a best truck. and for me, all things considered, there is no better truck for my lifestyle. not even close. did a paid transport job the other day driving 9 actors/crew and 300lbs of gear to an offroad filming location that required 4x4. that is not happening in an 80 hahaha. the truck handled like i had three passangers lol. every body panel for a 40 (all variations) except the upper walls can be bought brand new at the drop of a hat in either steel or aluminum. parts for 40s are more prevalent and easier to get then any other cruiser. smashed my rear window on a weekend. had one back in on monday 50$ all in. had my pick of windows, or whole doors on craigslist. had lots of choices. theres like 3 hoods, and 10 doors, and 3 window frames... on fb marketplace or CL every day. not mad at any cruiser between the models of 40-80
hahha this was a fun chat
I didn’t hear anyone say BEST tell Mark P joined the chat.
I thought Wrangler JKs were the Best 
Cheers

I'll take Halftracks for $600.
You are too kind.The dude with the 55 wins
Thank you for acknowledging, finally, what I have proclaimed all these long years.
"Hauls like an 80, wheels like a 40"
hahaha all good, ill have to disagree. but maybe ill change my tune in a few years. but doubt it
If Roothie is your gauge on anything, you're permanently drunk
Yeah but is their metal thicker?
1/4 inch thick hardened armor (or armour if you like) plate.

Pissing contest over! And not a drop on CruiserDan's blue seude shoes!
So - can someone explain to me what this was about?
As for strongest axle - get what the buggy guys run?
That said, those guys can break anything. But I'm sure they won't choose what's under a station wagon....

Mine's thicker and stronger than yours.
No mine is.
You're drunk.
No you are . . .
How about someone invite a 250 lover to this discussion? Just to round out this $hit show.
So their arch enemies can find them here and whine about the 250 not being a real Land Cruiser in the 80 section also? No thank you...
Also, soccer mom 80's are best in the world. Amazing 47 workhorse sounds soft
I don’t know squat. But I never hear people saying the going to put 40 axles under anything but a 40.
I do hear of people putting 80 axles under Mini trucks,40s,55s, 60s, tundras and sequoias, even some buggies
Some using the whole 80 chassis for the conversion
Just to add to the

An undeniably made in China 40 birf is no way stronger than an oem 80 birf. Leverage plays a big factor when speaking in angles. The 40 birf is something like 3/5 the size of an 80 which puts it at a disadvantage with respect to leverage not to mention it will simply wear out faster for the same reason.the 47 no, the 45 however was brought over and its parts are the same other then the diesel motor. and all the axles of the same era/spline are the same. yes, birf is bigger on an 80, again though, thats still a matter of metallurgy. steel has changed over the last 100 years. notice how a 60 year old car in a field beat by the elements day in day out for 50 years wont have any rot, just surface rust? thats cause the metal wasnt cut like cheap coke. as far as ive been told.
I can buy a TG HD birf for my 40 that is undeniably stronger then an oem 80 birf, and is still undeniably smaller as well, jus sayin. so accounting for diminishing steel quality i personally would design my parts larger to account for it. and I imagine thats what toyota did. so not necessarily making them stronger. not fighting to win
The 40 knuckles look shockingly small (like jewelry) when seeing one after seeing only 80 knuckles and birfs for a few years. What’s stronger, a Dana 44 or 60…… ? I’ve never read a thread where 80 birfs were questioned but only the 8” reverse rotation R&P.I don’t know squat. But I never hear people saying the going to put 40 axles under anything but a 40.
