On the 1999, multimode case, you can't go 4WD low with center diff unlocked. In the later versions 01-02 (i believe) there was a center diff button on the dash that allowed this. On the 1999 Limiteds there was no center diff button. I may be slightly off on some of these years, so feel free to correct me. I am guessing it would be possible to retrofit the center diff button from a later model to allow this, but I don't know.

Oh, and marcfj60 - you know you want some spares, just let the wife buy some new curtains or something. I am willing to let these all go for next to nothing, doing a big purge of car parts that I will never use.

How much, specifically, is next to nothing? $5? $500?

I have a 2001, so I guess I should have been more specific:

You can run in 4LO with the center diff unlocked on 2001-2002... completely selectable. I know for certain, as I have the same t-case in my rig.

I have the engine posted for $200 on Craigslist. Less than that for mud members. Engine is currently on a stand and I have a hoist to load it up. Trans and transfer are posted for $100 each, again I would do less than that for mud members.

I also have a rear diff locker actuator, radiator and some other stuff I can't remember right now.

So 'maybe' it's the same transmission, you just get different functionality with the 01-02 ECU and the separate diff lock switch?

Could be, I am not very familiar with the later 4R transfer/transmission. It would make sense for Toyota to use the same auto trans though.

How much are you looking for on the rear diff lock actuator? Is it fully functional? I wouldn't mind having that as a spare.

Regarding the transmission... Toyota used the A340F for all model years of the 3rd gen with 4WD. The trick is that Toyota used three different valve bodies to control the A340F over the years, and not all of them are interchangeable.

The early model years (1996-1998?) used a VB like the one below. Notice the overall length, which is shorter than the later versions, and the presence of the tubes (there should be two tubes, one has been removed in this photo) on the left hand side. The tubes are transmission fluid paths that were integrated into the actual VB on later versions. Also note the connection for the transmission kick-down cable @ bottom center. The other end of that cable connects to the throttle body and controls line pressure in the transmission @ various throttle positions. Last, notice that there are only three electronically controlled shift solenoids. Two along one edge and the third at the end near the tube.

The mid generation model years (1998-2000?) used a VB like the one below. Notice the increase in overall length, and that the VB now encompasses the fluid paths that were previously separate tubes. Also, notice that there is still a connection for the transmission kick-down cable to control transmission line pressure. Finally, there are still three electronically controlled shift solenoids, but their position on the VB has changed. All three solenoids are now aligned on one side of the VB.

Last but not least you have the late model VB (I know for sure this one is found on 2001-2002 model years). This version retains the overall shape and size of the previous version, but there are changes to the hydraulic controls. Where line pressure was controlled manually by a kick-down cable on prior versions, it is now controlled electronically by the ECU using a 4th solenoid, the SLT solenoid. This goes hand in hand with the drive-by-wire feature found on the 01-02 models. Take a peek under the hood of a ’01-’02 and you’ll notice that there is only one cable connected to the throttle body, which is a failsafe throttle cable. The transmission kick-down cable is eliminated on these model years. This version also gets a 5th solenoid, which is the Shift Control Solenoid, however it is not electronically controlled. The two new solenoids are visible at bottom center, where the cam and kick down cable were located on previous models.

You will not be able to install the valve body from the early/mid models into the '01-02 transmission due to the presence of the SLT solenoid on the '01-02 transmission valve body and the fact that the early/mid valve bodies use a kick down cable, which the ECU on the '01-02 has no means of controlling.

A transmission with the mid-gen valve body should install into a rig with the early valve body. They have the same number of solenoids and both use a kickdown cable. The ECU wouldn't have a clue that the valve bodies are laid out differently as long as the electronics are the same (solenoids).

There is a chance that you could use a transmission from one of the early/mid-gen model years in an '01-02, but you would have to swap over the valve body from the '01-02 trans. However, I'm not sure that would work because there might be differences between the fluid paths on the transmissions themselves. Also, if you installed an earlier trans with provisions for only 3 solenoids into an '01-02 that uses 4 solenoids you would have to modify the wiring harness to allow for the extra solenoid.

Hope that helps.

That price is right in line with what I've typically seen on the used market, so I'll pass. I was hoping it might fall into that "next to nothing" category along with the engine/trans/t-case.

Yeah, the engine and other large parts are much more difficult to move, hence their lower prices. Are you local? If so, make me an offer, I might take it just to save myself some time and effort.
 
Hope that helps.

A lot, and I'm impressed with your knowledge of the nuances of each change to the valve body, kickdown functionality and ECUs.
 
2002 Toyota Landcruiser

Tis the season - for reliable, long lasting vehicles!

Gorgeous 2002 Landcruiser - clean clean clean! Having to sell because we are downsizing. This is the coolest ride - I'm so sad to see it go. Vehicle has some nice factory options including: traction control system, heated seats, power driver seat, power door locks, cruise control, privacy glass, leather interior, anti-lock braking, air conditioning, power passenger seat, power windows dual air bags, bucket seats, power mirrors, rear climate system, hitch, and a rear window wiper. The only things that don't still work are: the antenna, rear left speaker, sunroof (it gets stuck open so we don't use it), DVD player. This truck is in GREAT condition. We have the running boards and wind shields - we took them off for a sportier look. Serious inquiries only please.

Maintenance and history:
The guy we bought it from hit a deer, which crushed the front grill causing damage to one of the headlights. The insurance company paid to have the entire front replaced (looks brand new) and a new grill put on. We have the old grill (still usable).

Timing belt was replaced at 123,000. No record of the water pump being replaced. We replaced the battery a couple of months ago.

Some rust on the tow hitch. See picture.

The drivers side window came out of the track and we had to fix it. We couldn't get the window/door control totally back in and didn't want to glue it in case it happened again (see picture).

Normal dings and scratches for a 15 year old vehicle. We took the wheel trim and step boards off, but still have them if you want to put them back on.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a series of four-wheel drive vehicles produced by the Japanese car maker Toyota. It is Toyota's longest running series. Production of the first generation Land Cruiser began in 1951 (90 units) as Toyota's version of a Jeep-like vehicle. The Land Cruiser has been produced in convertible hardtop station wagon and cab chassis versions. The Land Cruiser's reliability and longevity has led to huge popularity especially in Australia where it is the best-selling body-on-frame four-wheel drive vehicle. Toyota also extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain. In Japan the Land Cruiser is exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Store. Cruise down the street in this as a daily driver or take this monster through any terrain you can imagine with ease - the options are endless.
