Hey,
I'm thinking about getting an FZJ80 without locking diffs, and replacing the axles. Anyone done that? Is the wiring harness in the ones without lockers the same as the ones with? All I need to do is add the switch? Or do I have to run wires as well.
Some people might say its not worth it, but I'm thinking it might be: I have a really cream 40th anniv. 1997 for $12k that I can get (although high miles, 140k, it is in really nice shape). I can get a pair of locking axles (front and rear) for $2k, and I can install myself, so $14k don't seem so bad for the lot. And I might be able to sell the old axles as well...
Any thoughts? Any knowledge about the differences in wiring harnesses, and anything else I'm not thinking of (T-case, ABS, etc)?
Thanks!
Kenton
