It seems like this might be your best bet to get that thing back on the road without having to spend a fortune or do any other modifying.Don't do this. You'll have to change the master cylinder and you'll end up with brakes that are not as good.
Get a 93-97 full float axle. It will be a direct swap.
Try Car-part.com and enter your zip code and you'll see what's in your area, or contact one of the Land Cruiser dismantlers.
Looks like piles of them $300-$500 in PA and NJ.
Own a '91 80 Series -
Next week I'll be picking up a '93 80 Series rear end for a the Disc/ FF swap, an OME 2.5" Lift (needs 4 new shocks) and a set of (5) 16" wheels.
I keep reading this should be a DIRECT SWAP
**However, couple questions:
1. The donor '93 axle could not provide emergency brake cable - Wouldn't my stock E-Brake cable work?
2. Will the Drive Shaft line right up?
3. '91 is non-ABS, the '93 is ABS - Must I purchase a non-ABS Master Cylinder?
4. I do not have funds to purchase a locker, or new gears - ?Just bolt it in and worry later?
- Same for rebuilding/ or a general servicing; ?just get it in and do it later; or, Rebuild it while loose, then SWAP
Probably the NEWBIE questions..... I would appreciate the previous experience anyone could share with me.
- Possibly a checklist, if you will.
Upstate NY is the epicenter of vehicle rust.
