Here is the Land Cruiser Family Tree: http://tlc.toyota-europe.com/main_frame.html
The (Prado/4R/GX/FJ)= 120 platform based on--->90 series--->70 series
3rd gen (96-02) 4Runner has no relation to the 4th gen 4Runner.
Clearly the USA LC is from a different development line. 100--->80--->60--->50
Great approach/departure angles, ATRAC, RR Diff Lock, RR tire carrier, 265hp/282ft lbs, Short Wheelbase, tucked-up rr gas tank, rugged interior compared to any LC or Toyota suv, 8" IFS travel stock, 32" tires stock and
full suspension upgrades already available to lift 3" and add 1" more IFS travel without any CV issues.
It's going to be a real tempting pkg, imo.
