It should go on with the solenoid relocated with Warn's relocation kit. The new 79 has the same issue

He’s got another vehicle he can use this winch for that mounts feet down. I ordered one I know that fits because I’ve done it.
It depends on dealer specs. early years had no ac or heat. cars designated for Taif and Abha had no AC or heat. But they all started to have them as standard option from mid 90s. There were a few odd balls that didn't have ac or heat but those typically were mining cars that were ordered with 0 options.
The biggest thing I’ve learned in the 70 series world is that’s there is no “all have” in any spec.
Anytime those words pop up, along with “have never been” someone pops in and has proof of the contrary.
Onur is always saying there is something like 1000s of variations of the 70 series.

Yup. Thousands (plural) Of its currently 40 years of manufacture.
Nolen, I thought something looked a bit off by that VIN when you say it's a 1996. Again, the transition from 3F to 1F occurred in 1992 (January I think) in these trucks. Did you take any photos of the VIN plates? I'm sure you know but should be one in the driver's door jamb and one on the firewall. That's an April 1992 VIN. My August 1994 FZJ75 VIN is FZJ75-0022870.
Here are the data plates and the frame matches.
@WarDamnEagle my friend had a '92 FZJ75

Yeah I mispoke. This one was built 9/91. That’s where I got the “first of the 1FZ” trucks.
The next one coming in is a 1997
This is its VIN
Toyota Land Cruiser, FZJ75, white, 1997,
chassis number FZJ750036030

It says 1992 on the VIN plate. 
Edit:
Let me help you out. The 1997 referenced above, FZJ750036030, was built in 09/96. The one in this thread, FZJ750004143, was built in 04/1992.
The first FZJ75 was built in January 1992. As you said, it was a transition year. Lowest VIN number I can find is FZJ0001009, FWIW.

Makes sense to do so. This '01 44k mile (59k km) we did the week before last took a Warn Evo 12k with the solenoid mounted on top behind the spotlights on a locally made bar with very similar dimensions to the ARB -

No clown. I’m showing the vin. Said I was wrong. Seller told me it was a 92 built in 91. I misspoke saying 1996. There is the tag. Yes I can read 1992. I’m just going with what he told me. I don’t study this stuff like you seem too.
The NEXT 75 coming is that VIN I posted. Mainly just to show the difference in numbers from 92 to 96.

The owner informed me he was meeting a friend at Hawk Pride in a couple of weeks. I’m waiting on some parts to get his ARBs installed so we turned our attention to adding some tasteful armor to this thing. The stock rear bumper is basically a damage multiplier.
Toyota used a lot of imagination to call that a bumper. Referring to it as a rear step would have been more accurate.
still no luck huh? bummer.Very cool find
I think I need to go the Saudi Arabia to find my wire floor number 2
Still working on its might have a play I South Africa where many 2001 are salvage…
